Magic items:
- Chargin' Targe
Shield (buckler), very rare

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use one of your attacks to Charge.
Charge. You may immedietly move up 60 feet in a straight line.
If you moved between 50 feet and 60 feet with this movement and end this movement within 5 feet of a creature, your next attack on this turn against that creature is an automatic critical hit if the attack would hit otherwise.
If you moved between 30 feet and 50 feet with this movement and end this movement within 5 feet of a creature, your next attack on this turn against that creature will deal one extra die of damage.
Alternatively, if you move through a space occupied by another creature with this movement, you can push this creature up to 30 feet away from you. You can only affect one creature with this when you Charge.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Strength modifier (a minimum of once). You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using this weapon, you can decapitate that creature using this weapon. If you do so, you gain benefits based on how many heads you have taken.
If you have taken 1 head, your speed increases by 5 feet and your current and maximum hit points increase by 10.
If you have taken 2 heads, your speed increases by 10 feet and your current and maximum hit points increase by 20.
If you have taken 3 heads, your speed increases by 15 feet and your current and maximum hit points increase by 30.

Personality. A warrior's spirit lives within the Eyelander. The weapon will whisper to the weilder, encouraging them to kill and to take heads.
- Pictograph Box
Wondrous item, uncommon
The pictograph box, or simply picto box, is a handheld cubical wooden device. Its faces feature a circular glass lens on the front, buttons on top, latches on either side, and a slots the size of a piece of parchment. The picto box can hold a stock of up to 25 sheets of parchment at a time.
Using an action, the button can be pressed to take a picture. A depiction of what is immediately in view of the camera's lens is transcribed flawlessly onto a sheet of parchment within the picto box. Any invisible creatures or objects in view of the picto box's lens are visible in the picture. The produced picture does not reproduce colors.
The following are meant to be enhancements to the Pictograph Box. The DM can decide if these are magical or mechanical items, and if they are mechanical if they can be created using tinker's tools.
- Color-Sensitive Lens
Wondrous item, common
This consists of a glass lens and set of enchanted vials which are filled with a never-ending supply of four colors of ink. This item can be installed inside a Pictograph Box.
If it is, when a picture is taken, the picture can instead be produced in color. Alternatively, you can choose to have the picture colored by heat, with brighter colors representing more heat.
- Flash Bulb
Wondrous item, common
This glass bulb contains a wire filament and is surrounded by mirrored metal. This item can be attached to a Pictograph Box.
If it is, when a picture is taken you can choose to also cause a flash, the bulb flares quickly at the moment the picture is taken, causing the bulb to emit bright light in a 30-foot radius for the moment the picture is taking.
In addition, when you are attacked by a creature within 30 feet of you that you can see and are holding the Pictograph Box, you can use your reaction to trigger the flash, imposing disadvantage on the attack roll. An attacker that can't be blinded is immune to this ability.
- Muybridge Reel
Wonderous item, uncommon
This attachment contains a modification so that the picto box supports a set of wheels that can roll a thin, wheel-mounted scroll through the picto box quickly. This item can be installed inside a Pictograph Box that already has the Color-Sensitive Lens and Flash Bulb installed.
If it is, then, using an action, the button can be pressed to record a film. A depiction of what is immediately in the view of the camera's lens for the next 1 minute is transcribed flawlessly onto a roll of film. A roll of film is a very long, thin sheet of parchment mounted on a wheel. A parchmenter can create these for 20gp and they weigh 1 lb each. The Pictograph Box can hold one roll of film at a time. Any invisible creatures or objects in view of the picto box's lens are visible in the film. On any of your subsequent turns for the next minute, you can use their bonus action to end the recording early.
When a film is recorded, you decide if the Flash Bulb is either on (emiting bright light in a 30-foot radius) or off for the entirety of the recording time. While recording, you can not use the Flash Bulb reaction ability. In addition, you decide you can decide if the film is produced in color or not. Alternatively, you can choose to have the film colored by heat, with brighter colors representing more heat.

The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that speace is occupied.
If the target is native to a different plane of existence than the one you're on, the target is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.
