These springy little guys are still one of my favorite additions to my homebrew world PF2E setting.

![Vileblood Bomb
ITEM 9
Alchemical, Bomb, Consumable, Splash
Price 149 gp
Activate [1] Strike
This volatile looking glass vial is filled with a writhing and squirming red substance tinged with green and black rot that seems to be in a constant state of motion. An attempt has been made to keep this vial sealed shut with a length of rope that has been wrapped around it, securing the cork in place. A slight scent of iron and putrid flesh seeps from it at all times.
You gain a +1 item bonus to attack rolls made with this bomb. The bomb causes lesions to open on the victims skin dealing 2d6 persistent bleed damage and 2 void splash damage. Any creature hit by the bomb or in its splash area must attempt a DC 25 Fortitude saving throw. Creatures in the splash area treat the results of their saving throw as one step better.
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is sickened 1.
Failure The target is sickened 1 and drained 1 while sickened.
Critical Failure The target is sickened 2 and drained 2 while sickened.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreic5icfigr3iigq7tideeru7c25fvnzapbreopzjdrtvpikquqw7jm)

Communication speech (Common and Sakvroth)

This rough and tumble looking seagull is actually a doll that has been enchanted with a semblance of life by a seemingly competent thief. It has deep knowledge of the underworld, but is also extremely selfish, brutish, arrogant, and crude. It refuses to help those it dubs a “do-gooder” until it sees that you are willing to bend or break the law.
While invested in this item, you gain a +1 item bonus to Thievery checks made to perform illegal activities such as Stealing something or Picking a Lock.
Activate - Mine Mine Mine [2] concentration; Frequency Twice per day; Effect The seagull casts distracting chatter (DC 20) on one creature within range.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreifmqskwxmc64ixpauixrjleugzdr4l5oo7tm4ke4eyabyr44xvqgq)
![Pocket Ninja
ITEM 5
Invested, Magical
Price 150 gp
Usage worn; Bulk L
This small and adorable, yet extremely well-crafted wooden bauble resembles the form of a shrouded individual carrying a katana and clad in shades of black and red. Though the proportions are exaggerated, there’s something endearing about the artistic style chosen by whoever carved this piece. A hemp rope and metal ring have been affixed to the back of it making it the perfect accessory to clip to your clothing.
While invested in this bauble, your footfalls are naturally quieter granting you a +1 item bonus to Stealth checks to Sneak.
Activate - Quiet [2] manipulate; Frequency Once per day; Effect You pull the hempen rip cord on the figurine which bathes you in an aura of shadow for 10 minutes. You gain a +1 status bonus to Stealth checks to Hide. Additionally, you are invisible while you stand still.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreidosr2tnmvb43cjoh3rngguirmtvfz2wqmeomgzxj67g74x5wxc5m)
![Paradox
ITEM 18
Rare, Consumable, Magical
Price 5,000 gp
Activate [1] (manipulate)
The quality of craftsmanship on this solid gold pocket watch is obvious from the second someone lays eyes upon it. Constantly spinning clockwork gears wind in a nearly impossibly deep cavity on the outside covered by a layer of glass and outlined in a solid gold ring. The chain is finely knit to allow it to flow freely, but keep it secured via a clip on one side. Opening the watch reveals a dizzying display of swirling blue light that cascades into a whirlpool of astounding and seemingly impossible depth within. Rather than a standard clock layout, a spiral of numbers disappears into the depths of the whirlpool.
You can use one action to pull the crown away from the watch, setting a return point in time, marking the state of you as well as any creatures, objects, or structures within a 1 mile radius of you. If you reach dying 4 or suffer instant death within 24 hours of setting a return point, the watch spontaneously activates, creating a time paradox and resetting all creatures, objects, and structures that were around you into the state they were in at the return point. This includes resurrecting dead creatures and rebuilding destroyed objects or structures. The details of how far this effect extends is left to the GM. If the watch resets time, or if 24 hours is reached without you dying, the watch shatters into dozens of useless clockwork gears.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreibjv7vk67jwpwelovlgn7rx6fx5563devrihit3zlwvtvrkm4hb2u)
![Aumakua
ITEM 13
Magical
Price 2,800 gp
Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk 1
The head of this ferocious looking +2 greater striking warhammer has been shaped to resemble the cephalofoil of a great hammerhead shark, with each end of it extending outward to form the hammer’s faces. A toothy maw sits agape below ready and willing to take a bite out of any who might get too close to the head. Down the haft, a tight leather grip is fitted above the pommel which is fashioned to resemble a shark’s caudal fin. This hammer is always slightly moist and cold to the touch.
While holding this weapon, when you submerge yourself in water, it begins to writhe and swim as though it were a living creature. You gain a swim speed equal to your land speed and swimming up or down is no longer considered difficult terrain to you.
Activate - Chomp [1] manipulate; Requirement Your previous action was a successful strike with this weapon, or you have a creature grabbed; Effect You thrust the hammer forward and attempt to have the maw bite down on the creature you hit with your previous strike. The weapon attempts to Grapple the target using your Athletics check. You gain a +2 item bonus to your Athletics check when used in this way. While the hammer has a creature grabbed, it cannot be used as a normal weapon.The target can attempt an Escape action on their turn, ending the grabbed condition on a success. At the end of the target’s turn, if it is still grabbed by this weapon, it takes damage equal to the damage dice of this warhammer.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreibfnawtldxa6jfzvquvncc6b7a33fsht4yce3vsduf2scovdzgjjy)
![Shredder
ITEM 20
Unique, Artifact, Magical
Usage Held in 2 hands; Bulk 1
This +3 major striking wounding battle axe has been fitted with a leather strap that runs along the butt of it allowing for an easy way to carry it along. In a more odd detail, a skull of some beast has been fitted to the face. The teeth of the skull have had metal strings affixed to them which run the length of the handle where they are attached to tuning pegs much like you would see on a bard’s lute. The knob of the axe has been flared outward near where the tuning pegs have been set, turning this weapon into something much more interesting.
A most unusual instrument of war, this battle axe can also be donned and used as a lute. When used in this way, it grants you a +3 item bonus to Performance checks made with it.
Activate - Raining Blood [2] auditory, manipulate; Frequency Twice per day; Effect You don the axe as a lute and slam out a devastatingly dark riff causing blood to be ripped from veins and summoning a maelstrom of claret. You deal 11d10 negative damage to creatures that are taking persistent bleeding damage within 60 feet of you, and they must attempt a DC 41 Fortitude saving throw.
Critical Success The creature takes no damage, but is frightened 1.
Success The creature takes half damage and is frightened 2.
Failure The creature takes full damage, is frightened 3, and is fleeing for 1 round.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage, is frightened 3, and fleeing for 2 rounds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreiawomokqhoyutgzzdwshgq7ltb6vk7gm52kysnfqf3ar2flrmsg4e)
![B-Sharp
ITEM 6+
Magical
Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk 1
The body of this extremely well honed virtuoso lute glows with a purely aesthetic magical incantation meant to dazzle and astound those who would look upon it. From the intricacy of the woodwork, to the fine gold detailing in the tuning pegs, it’s obvious that this lute is of immaculate craftsmanship. One rather odd feature is the handle at the top of the fretboard that includes what seems to be a pommel and crossguard of a weapon, though a detailed search of the lute shows no actual blade.
Activate - Manifest Hidden Blade [1] manipulate; Frequency Once per hour; Effect You grip the handle at the end of the lute, drawing a +1 shortsword from it, then make a melee Strike with it. The shortsword is magically created and thus doesn’t exist before it is drawn. The blade persists as a real physical object until the next time you Manifest Hidden Blade and a new one is created.
Type B-Sharp; Level 6; Price 130 gp
Type Greater B-Sharp; Level 10; Price 850 gp
When you Manifest Hidden Blade, you draw a +1 striking shortsword.
Type Major B-Sharp; Level 15; Price 5,900 gp
When you Manifest Hidden Blade, you draw a +2 greater striking shortsword.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreidb5e2kztftw4u7hick7i6bqxd5mms3v3oui4x5sog5tkvyqtkjb4)
