Items you want to like but don't? - 23/03/24 07:21 PM
I was just playing and it occurred to me how much I don't like The Spectator Eyes amulet. It's considered "very rare" and does two things, both recharged after a long rest.
1. Ray of Fear: this is actually just the frightened condition if the target fails a save, and
2. Wounding Ray: it's supposed to be a third level spell, but all it does is 2d8 damage. If the target saves, half damage.
Both of these effects are useable once, only recharging after a long rest.
At first glance, I want to like this amulet. I'd love to use it and have it be useful. But it's just not useful. It's a terrible item, imo.
Are there any items you feel that way about? Things you'd like to use in theory but just find completely underwhelming?
