Appendix B: Magic Items
Ring of X-Ray Vision
Ring, rare (requires attunement)
While wearing this ring, you can use an action to speak
its command word. When you do so, you can see into and
through solid matter for 1 minute. This vision has a radius
of 30 feet. To you, solid objects within that radius appear
transparent and don't prevent light from passing through
them. The vision can penetrate 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of
common metal, or up to 3 feet of wood or dirt. Thicker
substances block the vision, as does a thin sheet of lead.

Whenever you use the ring again before taking a long

rest, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving
throw or gain one level of exhaustion.

Wand of Emergency
Wand, rare
This wand holds one charge of Dispel Magic. It can be
used by any creature. When the charge is used, the wand
breaks apart.
Holding the Wand of Emergency, a character
will notice that a note is rolled around the handle.
The note reads:
This wand has one (1) charge of Dispel Magic.
EMERGENCY USE ONLY!
