Magic Items 5e Players Will Actually Use
Why settle for boring when you can say farewell to the Cloak of Incremental Stat Boosts (requires attunement) and hello to 58 magic items designed to drive storytelling and provide players with character-defining choices?
The Sharper Visage Catalog is a fantasy TTRPG supplement for your 5e campaign featuring an eccentric 20th-level retired-adventurer-turned-shopkeeper and his collection of memorable magic items for players who enjoy roleplaying, story-driven campaigns, and just the right amount of weird.
Inside you'll find a key for traveling through mirrors, a pipe for solving mysteries, a portable hole for peeping, an egg for spreading rumors, a ritual for growing extra fingers, a wand for usurping the crown of a secret cat kingdom, and more!
Why are most magic items boring?
It’s hard to get excited about 5e magic items when they all feel the same. Another +1 sword? A cloak you’ll forget about until it saves you from falling—once? And the good stuff? Locked behind attunement slots you’ve already filled just to survive combat. Sure, you’ve read about legendary magic items capable of altering the course of an adventurer's life, but they’re too strong to drop into your game without wrecking balance or derailing the campaign. So instead, your party ends up with gear that’s technically magical… but practically mundane.
-
Magic Items should be fun for everyone at the table.
A great magic item gives the players and GM something to play with, not just something to roll for. Fun items spark laughter, surprise, and creativity.
-
Magic Items should make characters memorable.
Iconic characters are built on more than class and stats. They're shaped by the items they carry. The right magic item can inspire roleplay, provoke action, and keep players talking long after the session ends.
-
Magic Items should elevate your story.
Magic items shouldn't just sit in your inventory. They should drive the plot forward with moral dilemmas, risk-versus-reward tension, and surprise questlines. The right item gives a players meaningful choices.

Welcome to the Future of Magic Item Shopping
The Sharper Visage is a magic item store contained within a pocket dimension, so your players can access it in multiple places across your campaign world, wherever convenient. Upon entry, customers discover an expansive chamber much larger than its exterior suggests. Shelves reaching fifty feet high, trunks, tables, and display cases cluttered with magic items form a labyrinthine maze reminiscent of a chaotic antique shop or bric-à-brac emporium.
Zebulon the shopkeeper wanders the aisles, dramatically appearing when least expected, ready to suggest the perfect magic item to meet your needs.
What's Inside:
58 unique magical items — item rarity and values are consistent with official 5e materials to ensure game balance and economic stability.
- Includes 4 common, 30 uncommon, 20 rare, 3 very rare, and 1 legendary
- Limited use of attunement — items are balanced using tactics, roleplay, and GM fun-factor
- Each item includes a shopkeeper anecdote
- Random tables for browsing the store
- All items are compatible with 5th Edition and other d20-based systems
A reusable drop-in Magic Item Store location that is simple to use and can be located anywhere when you need it thanks to a conveniently-vague magical anomaly.
A charismatic shopkeeper with a flair for the dramatic, the ironic, and the punny.
Did I mention there's a Secret Room?

Trivial Ioun Stone: Plant (Wondrous item, uncommon): Your skin and hair turn a radiant shade of green, and you no longer need to eat—though you will need daily sunbathing, and yes, people will notice (and have questions).

1 Very Rare Magic Item
Tome of Outer Hand Initiation (Wondrous item, very rare, single-use): This ancient tome has a lot going for it—an obscure cult no one's ever heard of and a ritual that grants you extra fingers and mysterious magical powers from an eldritch entity that absolutely doesn't exist anymore (wink). Sure, people might recoil when they see your hands, but that’s the price of attaining cursed arcane power the old fashioned way.
