The Origami Bestiary
Worn, 0 weight, 5 uses
An old leather bound book with all but 5 pages torn out. When you tear out a piece of paper and fold it into an origami creature, describe the creature, it will come to life and grow to full size of its real counterpart. The. origami creature will follow you until destroyed. Commanding the creature to fight with you add +2 to damage. Commanding the creature to protect you add +1 armor, but the creature is destroyed. Be careful not to use an origami creature around fire or water, for they are still paper and destroyed easily. Outside of combat you can use the creature to for almost anything within the real creature’s ability. (i.e. a dragon could be used for aerial attacks or a means of transport, but it cannot breath fire)

The Chromatic Cup
This bronzed goblet has four gems set into the bowl. When you fill the cup with a liquid the gems all take on one of five colors: ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green, pearl white, or onyx black, which change every time someone drinks from the cup.
When you drink from the cup you feel a strange energy course through your body varying depending on the color of the gems.
Red has a spicy heat to it as you drink followed by heart burn.
Blue causes all the hair on your body to stand on end and a tingling sensation fills your mouth.
Green tastes foul and putrid and makes you nauseous.
White gives you brain freeze and a frost covers your lips.
Black has an acidic tang to it and then a bubbling feeling in your stomach.
The next time you speak or breath out state what you’re intending to do and roll + Con. You let loose a dragons elemental breath. The type depends which color the gems were when you drank.
Red is a wave of fire. Blue is a bolt of lightning. Green is a cloud of poison gas. White is a spray of arctic ice and wind. Black is a stream of acid.
On a 10+ choose 2
On a 7 to 9 choose 1
On a miss, some catastrophe occurs as a result of the draconic breath.
– What you intended with the draconic energy comes to pass.
– You avoid harming yourself with the draconic energy.
– You control the draconic energy.

Magic item submission:
Hivemind Honey
A small jar of usually dark honey with a cork stopper, upon which a rune has been etched. Upon eating a spoonful of this honey, you feel your mind expand to become one with the Hive.
When you close your eyes in order to see through the many eyes of the Hive, Roll + WIS…
• On a 10+: You see a myriad of tiny visions from the surrounding region that coalesces into something useful. The GM must honestly describe what can be seen at a location you specify.
• On a 7-9: The visions are fragmented. The GM may omit or alter an important detail when describing the location you specify.
When you focus your desires in order to command the Hive, Roll + CHA…
• On a 10+: A large swarm of bees gathers in your vicinity and carries out your wishes, to the limit of what a swarm of bees can achieve.
• On a 7-9: The bees are fewer in number and your control of them is fleeting – you won’t get everything you desire out of their presence.
Your link to the Hive lasts for approximately one hour, during which you struggle to function as a lumbering humanoid. Take -1 forward to any non-Hive rolls during this time.
Should you command the Hive in a destructive manner and fail to reward them with a source of nectar, the Hive will be reluctant to welcome you in future.
