Items
# Paragon items
Some items evolve over time as they grow with their wielder, either through magical symbiosis, adding more or better components, or simply understanding the item better. Usually, the first stage of such an item is about on par with a rare item, the second stage is very rare, and the final stage is of the same power as a legendary item. Unlocking an item's full potential requires adventuring far and wide, researching its history, and truly understanding it.
Some paragon items are long-dormant items forged in empires of eras past whose usefulness is not obvious from the start, others are the inventions of mad (or genius?) artificers with too much imagination for their own good that require testing and iteration before they are perfected.
The names given to the different stages of these items differs depending on the source. An artifact of an old god that has laid latent and unclaimed for eons might start out Dormant, progressing through Awakened to Exalted. A mad contraption of artifice or engineering might start out as a Prototype, before becoming Upgraded and ending up Perfected. An item whose powers corresponds to the wearers rank in an organization goes from Initiate to Adept to Master.
Importantly, Paragon items are not the only ones that can be upgraded or improved, but they are designed with that journey in mind.
This system is inspired by the Vestiges of Divergence from Matt Mercer's Exandria setting.
# Weapons
# Trickster's Deck
Weapon, rare (requires attunement)Cards drawn from this magical deck of cards can be thrown as a weapon. When attuned, it counts as a simple ranged weapon with a short range of 30 feet and a long range of 60 feet. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon and you are considered proficient with it. On a hit, it deals 2 (1d4) slashing damage, with an extra effect depending on the damage die roll. On a critical hit, you throw a Joker card, dealing 7 (2d6) slashing damage instead, but with no extra effect. Thrown cards fly back to the deck after hitting or missing.
You can also use this deck as a regular set of playing cards, in which case you count as proficient with the Playing Card Set and have Advantage on any related checks, such as a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to cheat by swapping a card without your opponent noticing.

# Alley-fighter's Karambit

You gain a +1 bonus to attacks and damage rolls with this magic weapon, which has the Finesse property. When you hit an enemy you have already hit this turn with this weapon, you deal an additional 2 (1d4) damage.
# 'Trusty Betsy', the Two-bore Blunderbuss
Weapon, uncommonAn over-sized firearm, constructed by a gunsmith as an exhibition piece rather than as a functional weapon. It weighs almost 25 pounds in its unloaded state, making carrying it rather awkward, to say nothing of firing it.
It counts as a simple ranged weapon (range 10/30) with the two-handed and heavy properties. It deals 8d6 non-magical piercing damage on a hit. Attacking with this weapon uses your whole Attack action, regardless of other features.
When you fire this weapon, make a DC 12 Strength saving throw. On a failure, you take 2d6 bludgeoning damage from the recoil.
If you roll a natural 1 on the attack roll, the weapon explodes, as if you had cast Fireball centered on yourself. This destroys the blunderbuss. After it has been fired, the blunderbuss requires a short rest and 5gp worth of materials to reload.
# Mindsaber
Weapon (rapier), very rare (requires attunement)This item appears to be a metal rapier hilt with no crossguard. Instead of a blade, the hilt has a jagged amethyst crystal. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a blade of crackling psionic energy to coalesce, or disperse the blade. Attacks with the deep purple blade assaults your enemies' minds as much as their bodies.
You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, which deals psychic damage instead of piercing damage. You also add the target creature's intelligence modifier to the damage (minimum of 0).
When active, the blade emits purple dim light in a 10 foot radius.
# Inscribed Bo Staff
Weapon (quarterstaff), paragon (requires attunement by a Monk)Fighting staves like these are crafted by young monks following the Way of the Runes as part of their initiation rituals. One of few allowed possessions, it is used as a meditation focus, and monks come to learn every subtle bend and knot of their particular staff. As they progress in their monk training, they inscribe their staff with runes and symbols, representing mastered aspects of their self. With training and meditation, their mastery with the weapon deepens, and new techniques are unlocked.

# The Volcanoes' Edge
Weapon (longsword), uncommon (requires attunement)This is a macuahuitl blade, a wooden sword lined with razor-sharp obsidian shards. The wood carries pictograms that tell of a volcano that erupted three times in a single year, each eruption more violent than the previous.
When you hit with this weapon, you can cause the blade to erupt, dealing an additional 1d8 fire damage. Each time you do this, the damage of the eruption increases by 1d8. Once you have erupted three times, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest, at which point the damage of the eruption resets to 1d8.
# Dawnrender
Weapon (glaive), very rare (requires attunement)An eight-foot spear shaft of pure silver. Instead of a regular spearhead, it has an ornate bulb of blueish metal with a luxite emitter crystal. The other end has a large amber gem. It was once the weapon of Halvdan the Bold, one of the founders of the Pilgrim Knights.
You can use a bonus action while wielding the shaft to cause a spearhead of pure light to spring into existence from the luxite emitter. The greatspear's radiant head emits bright light in a 15ft radius and dim light for an additional 15ft. The light is sunlight. You can use an action to make the radiant head disappear. This weapon is easier to handle than a regular glaive, and does not have the Heavy property.
While the radiant head is active, you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, and attacks with the weapon deal radiant damage instead of slashing damage. An undead creature hit by the weapon takes an extra 5 (1d10) radiant damage. In addition, once per long rest you can use an action to cast the Destructive Wave (opens new window) spell (your spellcasting DC, only radiant damage) by impaling the greatspear into the ground.
# Fiendfell
Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement by a Paladin)This was the sword of Arwyn Elsiter, one of the founders of the Pilgrim Knights. The sword is beautiful, with a relatively slender curved single-edged blade of gleaming bright steel, making it almost rapier-like. The guard follows the curves of the weapon and is wrapped with dark brown leather. A tassel of silver pegasus mane hairs, taken from Arwyn's loyal steed upon its death, hangs from the pommel. For a long time, the sword was an heirloom of House Elsiter, but it was stolen in the chaotic years after the empire fell.
You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls with Fiendfell, which can be used as a holy symbol. When you use Divine Smite on an attack from Fiendfell, all damage dice dealt by the attack explode (as long as you roll the maximum number on any of the dice, you get to roll it again and add it to the total).
Additionally, as an action you can hold the weapon aloft and cast Spirit Guardians, summoning a flock of tiny radiant pegasi. Once you do this, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.
# Elyana's Experimental Energy-repeater
Weapon (hand crossbow), paragon (requires attunement)This crossbow does not fire bolts, instead it uses an enchanted diamond as its power source. Each pull of the trigger causes some of the gem's energy to propel forward towards the point of aim as a small ball of sparkling plasma. Its ashresin limbs might at first glance appear superfluous, but they aid in guiding the magical energy in a straight line.
Elyana built this extra-ordinary weapon, but since she is no longer in the adventuring business herself, she is looking for someone to test it out for her.
To upgrade it, she requires upgrades to several of its components:
- Firstly, a more stable luxite crystal. The elves of Iacaris are masters of working with Luxite.
- Secondly, the ashresin limbs need to be reinforced. Elyana suggests adding a sky-iron lattice.
- Thirdly, she suggests adding a scope.
Possibly add a second crossbow for dual-wielding awesomeness?

# Perfected
- The bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +3.
- As an action, you can overcharge the diamond, creating a massive ball of plasma. This has the effects of the Flame Strike spell. Once you do this, you need to finish a long rest before you can do it again.

# Broken Promise
Weapon (dagger), rare (requires attunement)A dagger with a hilt that is far too large for its size, its adamantite blade broken less than a foot above the crossguard. Runes are carved on the blade, reading 'Promise of...' before ending abruptly at the break.
You gain a +2 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls with this weapon. Once per long rest when you miss an attack using this weapon, you can turn it into a hit.
# Restoring the Blade
The blade can be reforged into a longsword. This requires several expensive components, as well as the services of a very skilled crafter:
- An ingot of untreated adamantite for the blade.
- A gallon of blood from a Fire Giant for quenching.
- 5000gp worth of crushed gemstone for the runic inlay.
The reforging ritual takes 24 hours to complete, during which the prospective wielder makes a renewed promise that the blade will help keep.
# Renewed Promise
Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement)The reforged blade, now a full-length longsword. Glowing runes adorn the entire length of the blade.
You gain a +3 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls. Depending on the promise made upon its reforging, the wielder gains advantage on ability checks and saving throws using a specific attribute. The wielder also gains a flaw depending on the promise made.

Weapon (shortsword), rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)A narrow, incredibly sharp, translucent bluish crystal forms the blade of this sword. The blade looks fragile, but this is not the case. Looking closely, the interior of the blade swirls with magical energy.

# Nilisnebar, Amber Xiphos of Aerilwyn
Weapon (shortsword), paragon (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
A translucent leaf-shaped blade made from a single crystal of amber. The hilt is made from bronze, with an ornate circular guard set with a large polished amber sphere. The blade carries an inscription in elvish: nilisnebar - Nilisnebar, 'Storm-Glass (Amber) Blade'. Magic swirls throughout the crystalline blade, and sometimes small jolts of lightning can be seen inside the amber.
Nilisnebar was made by Aerilwyn Nilteril, the greatest Bladesinger the world has ever known, who used it to great effect. She lived a thousand years ago and served the Teccan Empire as Legate-Commander of the Bladesinger Guard, one of the most elite units in their legions and personal bodyguards to the Emperor.
Sentience. Aerilwyn's very essence has infused into Nilisnebar, making it sentient. It is Lawful Neutral and has an Intelligence of 22, a Wisdom of 16, and a Charisma of 15. It has Darkvision with a range of 60 feet and communicates telepathically with the wielder, preferring to speak Elvish but will speak Common if needed. An attuned creature can respond telepathically.
Personality. Aerilwyn is very intelligent, calculating, and hungry for power. She knows much about magic and the history of the Teccan Empire, and will share these facts with wielders she considers worthy of continuing her legacy. A worthy wielder of Nilisnebar, in her view, is someone who is a accomplished arcane caster with ambitions (especially political or pertaining to an organization) and the drive to accomplish them. If the wielder is not worthy, she will try to guide them toward this path. Aerilwyn enjoys seeing evil destroyed by magic, especially lightning magic. Aerilwyn is still loyal to the Teccan Empire, and is shocked upon hearing of its fall. Her ultimate ambition would be to revive the empire, installing a worthy emperor once again.
As the wielder grows closer with the blade, Aerilwyn will grant them more of the sword's powers. This should occur at major plot points when the wielder takes steps towards becoming a 'second Aerilwyn', such as getting promoted into command of a military unit, defeating a powerful foe, or discovering a long-sought piece of arcane research. The sword might also unleash its power in dire circumstances if Aerilwyn finds the wielder worthy of her protection.

# Ashresin Armor
Armor (varies), rare (requires attunement)Ashresin is a light and somewhat pliable, but very hard material made from alchemical spell-ashes that have been bonded together into black sheets. Armor made from ashresin does not have a strength requirement, nor does it impose disadvantage on stealth checks. It weighs half of what a regular metal suit of the same type would weigh.
The residual magical energy in the plates can absorb some of the energy whenever the wearer takes fire, cold, thunder, lightning, acid or poison damage. As a reaction to taking one of those types of damage when wearing the armor, you can reduce the damage taken by a number of d6 equal to your proficiency modifier. Once you use this reaction, you need to finish a long rest before you can do it again.
Very rare variant: You also gain resistance to the absorbed element until the feature recharges.
