Comments from the Writer: These magic items from the Avia-ra faction come as a set, taking up a single attunement slot and leveling up as your character does. They’re part of the new magic items for the Dark Matter Mega Box and balanced for the 2024 Player’s Handbook. Click here for a version balanced for the 2014 ruleset, or follow the Kickstarter for more magic items!
Ankh of Ra
Wondrous Item, Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This golden holy symbol, blessed by the Sun Above, shields you from death. If you drop to 0 Hit Points while you wear this ankh, roll 4d10. Your Hit Points instead change to the number rolled. The ankh then loses its luster and becomes nonmagical.
Magic Item Set. Attuning to this ankh and a Heretical Sunstaff of Ra and Solar Wings of Ra counts as being attuned to a single item. If you are attuned to this ankh and one of these items, the ankh doesn’t become nonmagical once used. Instead, it temporarily loses its luster and can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Heretical Sunstaff of Ra
Weapon (Avia-Ra Sunstaff), Uncommon (Requires Attunement)
This sunstaff was once carried by a heretical avia-ra apologist. When the staff deals the Bludgeoning damage of its Bludgeon mastery property, it deals an extra 1d6 Radiant damage.
Upgraded Magic Item. This weapon grows in power as you do. When you reach character level 5, you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with
this magic weapon. This bonus increases by +1 at level 11 (+2) and level 17 (+3).
Magic Item Set. Attuning to this sunstaff and an Ankh of Ra and Solar Wings of Ra counts as being attuned to a single item. If you are attuned to the sunstaff and one of these items, you can use a Magic action to unleash a blinding beam of light in a 5-foot-wide, 60-foot-long Line. Each creature in the Line must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be Blinded until the end of your next turn. The staff can’t be used in this way again until the next dawn.
Solar Wings of Ra
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
While wearing this cloak in an area of Bright Light, you can take a Magic action to speak its command word. This transforms the cloak into a pair of radiant wings on your back until you dismiss them (no action required). The wings give you a Fly Speed of 60 feet. If you are no longer in Bright Light, you lose this Fly Speed.
Magic Item Set. Attuning to these wings and an Ankh of Ra and a Heretical Sunstaff of Ra counts as being attuned to a single item. If you are attuned to the wings and one of these items, you can use the wings to cast the spell Daylight at will without using a spell slot.
