Enchanted Trinkets: Plumed Panoply  |  EN World EN5ider

N one of the items included among these
enchanted trinkets are of exceptional power,
but when sacrificed they unlock a greater power
in exchange. While their longer term benefits are
largely innocuous, there is a certain amount of pres-
tige involved in wearing all of the plumed panoply.
The neophyte adventurer who originally
commissioned these items (a fellow with the rather
ambitious self-given title of ‘the Crimson Falcon’)
had more gold than sense or skill, losing both these
enchanted trinkets and his life on his very unfor-
tunate first outing. Thus the plumed panoply passed
from the paws, claws, and tentacles of assorted
monsters into the hands of adventurers and
back again, the pieces slowly scattering or being
expended. Though rumors linger that at least one
more piece still exists, the last known article of the
original set— the peacock quill — is the centerpiece
of a magic item collection owned by a somewhat
eccentric high countess. It is considered an honor
to receive a letter from her written in the rainbow
colors of the imbued pen.
Fortunately the original creator saw the potential
of the set of magic items, creating and selling several
more after the first. Other enchanters followed suit
and now they are hardly as rare yet despite how
common they’ve become, there is a certain prestige
related to having a complete plumed panoply and it is
considered a matter of skill to adventure with a full
set without sacrificing any pieces. In fact there are
people who have risked (and even lost) their lives
rather than expend one of these fashionable items.

Enchanted Trinkets: Plumed Panoply  |  EN World EN5ider
Plumed Panoply. While you are wearing and in
possession of every item in the plumed panoply,
you are able to attune to every item (instead of
only three), although this uses all of your
attunement slots. In addition, you gain a +2 bonus
on Charisma checks despite the somewhat
gaudy appearance that results from donning the
full set of items. This bonus stacks with that
provided by wearing the parrot broach associated
with the set.
Duck Call
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 100 gp)
This wooden tube is approximately 6
inches long and 3 inches in diameter, featuring
carvings of feathers and aquatic birds both in
flight and at rest on the water. A leather thong
decorated with several colorful feathers is tied
around it, making it easily worn as a necklace.
It functions as an animal call, its magic
allowing it to replicate sounds of any type
of animal rather than just waterfowl. You gain
a +2 bonus on ability checks made to hunt wild
game and forage for food in the wilds. In
addition, you gain a +2 bonus on Charisma
(Deception) checks made using the duck call to
send coded messages within 1 mile.
You can use an action to twist the two halves
of the call in opposite directions and sound a
thun-derous blast through it in a 15-foot cone.
Creatures in the area make a DC 13 Constitution
saving throw or take 2d8 thunder damage and
become stunned for 1 round. Sounding the blast
shatters the duck’s call, utterly destroying it.
Falcon Glove
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
This worn and obviously well-used leather
falconer’s glove features ornate stitching in a
feather-like pattern. Wearing the glove gives you
a supernatural affinity with avian creatures. You
gain a +2 bonus on Wisdom (Animal Handling)
checks made against birds, and you gain a +2 bonus
on Charisma (Persuasion) checks against sentient
avian humanoids. In addition, if you have a bird or
avian animal companion, its hit point maximum is
5 times your class level (instead of 4 times).
You can use a bonus action to utter a command
word that sprouts 2-inch long razor-sharp talons
from the end of the gloves fingers. While these
talons are active, you gain a +1 magical bonus to
attack rolls using your unarmed strike, and your
unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d4 magical
slashing damage. However, you have disadvantage
on any actions that require fine manipulation such as
Dexterity (Sleight of Hand or thieves’ tools) checks,
eating, writing, or even relieving yourself. After-
ward removing the gloves tears them, destroying
their magic and causing them to fall apart.
Headband of Owl Feathers

Hawk’s Eye requires attunement)

Hummingbird Ring
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
This turquoise ring features a large, ornate
carving of a hummingbird with outstretched
wings. Once per day, you can speak a command
word and point your finger at a single creature you
can see within 60 feet. The hummingbird buzzes
to life, growing to the size of an actual humming-
bird and flying at the target, leaving behind only a
simple turquoise ring on your finger. For the next
1d4+1 rounds you have advantage on attack rolls
made against the target. At the end of the duration,
the bird returns to roost on the ring and becomes
inanimate again.
You can use an action to speak a different
command word and point your finger at a creature
you can see within 30 feet. When you do so, the
hummingbird becomes a single dart of energy that
strikes the target unerringly and deals 3d6 force
damage. The hummingbird does not reform and
the ring slowly breaks down over the next week
before entirely crumbling away.

Kestrel Cloak
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
This small cloak is made of simple gray linen
covered in predominantly brown feathers with a
few black and white patches scattered throughout.
While wearing and attuned to this cloak, you gain
a +2 bonus on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.
As a reaction when you are falling, you can pluck
a handful of feathers out of the cloak. For 1 minute
your rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round. If
the creature lands before then, you take no falling
damage and can land on your feet. Pulling the
feathers free from the kestrel cloak removes all magic
from the garment and causes it to disintegrate
within a day.
Lucky Crow’s Foot
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
This rather macabre ornament is nothing more
than a gnarled, clenched crow’s foot hanging from
a simple leather thong–it is however undeniably
lucky. Once per day before making an ability check,
you can tap into this luck to gain advantage.
The lucky crow’s foot is even more powerful when
the odds are particularly stacked against you.
When you are making an ability check, attack roll,
or saving throw with disadvantage, you can use
your reaction to snap its bones and gain advan-
tage instead. Afterward the bird’s foot transforms
into the untreated appendage of an avian corpse,
rotting into nothing after a day.
Ostrich Plume
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
This large, stylish, fluffy, black and white feather
can be tucked into a headband or hat. While attuned
to and wearing this feather, you ignore the effects
of difficult terrain on sand, high grass, or soft dirt.

You can use an action to hold the feather over
your eyes and gain the blinded condition. For up to
1 minute while holding the plume over your eyes in
this way, you turn invisible. As soon as the feather
is moved from your eyes, it fades into ash and
blows away. Any effect, feature, spell, or trait that
would allow you to see through the plume causes
the feather to immediately disintegrate.
Parrot Broach
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp; requires
attunement)
This decorative, 2-inch tall pin is brightly and
heavily lacquered with a rainbow of colors, though
predominantly red and blue. Only the beak and
feet are left bare to display the gold it is composed
of, as well as a small but bright blue gem that makes
up the eye. This ostentatious piece of jewelry gives
you a +2 bonus on Charisma (Performance and
Persuasion) checks.
Enchanted Trinkets: Plumed Panoply  |  EN World EN5ider
You can use an action to snap off the jewelry’s
beak, gaining the effects of a comprehend languages
spell for the next hour. This damage ruins the
broach’s magic and changes the gold to pyrite,
making it both mundane and worthless.
Peacock Quill
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp)
This quill is made from a small but extremely
vibrant peacock feather. Every color of the rainbow
can be seen in its iridescent hues as it is turned in
the light. A peacock quill has 7 different command
words, each corresponding to a different color of
the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet.) When a command word is spoken, the
quill generates an unlimited supply of ink in the
corresponding color.
Because even a scholar can find themselves in
a desperate situation, the peacock quill also has a
powerful defensive feature. You can use a bonus
action to snap it in two, unleashing an enormous
gush of multicolored ink that duplicates the effects
of a color spray spell (save DC 13).
Penguin Boots
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp;
requires attunement)
These knee length boots have an unmistakable
appearance, covered in matte black tiny feathers
with pure white tongues and laces. While wearing
and attuned to these boots, you ignore the effects of
snowy or icy difficult terrain.
You can use an action to snap the laces on the
boots, making them tighten around your legs. For
the next hour, you gain the following benefits: a
swimming speed equal to your walking speed,
you can hold your breath for twice as long as
normal, and whenever you take cold damage you
ignore the first 3 points of cold damage. At the
end of the duration, all of the magic within the
boots is expended and they become mundane
albeit fashionable footwear. e
