As something that's a zero-value knick-knack keepsake sort of thing? Ehh. At best maybe something like a little clockwork nightingale that chirps/sings, but isn't really consciously aware in any realistic way. But once you start getting into inanimate objects with personalities, it feels like it needs to be way more substantial. Or actively treated like a full NPC rather than an object (like, say, Morte in Planescape:Torment). knivesX2004 posted... Also I think there's a random trinket generator somewhere. I've used it before and got things like "a brass bird statue that has incredible sentimental value". The player kept it with them the whole game and even went back to get it when they dropped it down a bottomless pit lol. There's also a d100 chart in the 5e rulebook (I forget if it's the PG or DMG) with a long list of odd little things, like a necklace with fingers on it or a pair of dice with skulls carved on them for the "1". But they tend to lean more towards the creepy/weird side of things. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
