Extra content: Magic Items

For an extra flavor and spice, here are some additional
magic items that your DM may use on his games.

The Ancestor
Weapon (Greatsword), very rare (requires attunement)

This greatsword was forged by an ancient, forgotten

empire, but it is still as sharp today as it was on its old
days.
You gain +2 to attack and damage rolls made with this
magic weapon.
Every day at dawn, this sword grants you 1d12 + your
constitution modifier temporary hit points. If you haven’t
taken a long rest or lost all these temporary hit points,
those hit points disappear at dawn, before being renewed.

Mighty Belt of Kings

Wondrous item, Very rare (requires attunement by a
Barbarian)

Worn by a barbarian leader from the past, this heavy

leather belt is adorned with metal and marks of battle.
When you are wearing this belt, you gain one
additional use of your War Cries feature, +1 bonus to AC
and saving throws. Also, your Charisma checks are made
with advantage.
