MASK OF THE B EAST
Wondrous item, uncommon
This wooden mask is shaped in the likeness of a beast's
visage and has 3 charges. While wearing the mask, you
can expend 1 charge and use the mask to cast the ani-
mal friendship spell as an action. The mask regains all
expended charges at dawn.
RING OF WINTER
Ring, artifact (requires attunement)
Artus Cimber (see appendix D) has kept this item in his
possession for over a century. The Ring of Winter is a
golden band that resizes to fit snugly on the finger of its
wearer. A thin layer of frost coats the outside of the ring,
which normal heat can't melt. The ring feels ice cold
to the touch and initially numbs the hand that wears it,
but this cold ceases to be felt by one who is attuned to
the ring.
The Ring ofWinteris sentient and tries to take control
of any creature that wears it (see "Sentient Magic Items"
in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). If it suc-
ceeds, the ring compels its wearer to cause undue harm
to everyone and everything around it, in a cold-hearted
attempt to incur the wrath of enemies and bring about
the wearer's doom.
