The <whatever it is now> of Destiny

This is a castoff fragment of the horn of a major demon lord and confers some of his power upon the owner. It's always accidentally crafted into some sort of musical instrument accessory (drum stick, guitar pick, trumpet mute, violin bow, etc) or drug paraphernalia (spoon, bong, clip, etc). As such, it confers an enhancement bonus to any sort of musical Perform roll and also increases the earnings made from such by a factor of ten as it tries to increase the fame of it's owner enough for the demon lord to find them and reclaim his lost fragment. However, the fragment also can use the power of the demon lord against him and his ilk: to those who know the ancient rhyming command words (which require either Legend Lore or succeeding at a DC 35 Knowledge (bardic, arcana, planes, or religion check to know of - without such measures the owner does not learn of the additional abilities) it can be used to invoke Dimensional Anchor and Banishment whenever the command words are spoken -- and the talisman itself counts as super-effective against any demons for Banishment purposes (+2 caster levels, +4 Save DC).

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Bloodedge
This is a medium-sized weapon--a very large sword, 2d8 x2, and weighs 12 pounds. The name Bloodedge comes from its power: When used in a Power Attack, Bloodedge flares with purplish-black flame which does an extra 2d6 untyped damage on a successful hit (not multiplied on a critical hit)--and pulls life-force equal to damage inflicted and uses it to heal and sustain the wielder.

This vampiric power even works on constructs and the undead. It isn't exactly clear how, but it appears to either tap and convert a broad spectrum of energy, or it draws upon a common denominator of animating force. Either way, the wielder of Bloodedge can forego sleep and food and water for an hour after receiving power from the sword, which also reverses fatigue in one use and exhaustion in two, and suffer no ill effects from sleep deprivation (unless he's a caster. He still has to obey casting preparation rules). Legend has it that one of Bloodedge's wielders fought a great beast for a continuous year by relying on the sword to heal wounds and replace sleep and conventional sustenance.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Yes, but I didn't just want to come out and SAY it.
