Rocket of Randomness
wondrous item (consumable), rare
This metal cylinder has a fuse at one end and a small nozzle at the other.
Fireworks
As an action, you can light the fuse and launch the rocket towards a target within 120 feet. The rocket flies to the location before exploding in a dazzling display of colors. Each creature within 30 feet of the explosion must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take fire damage and be blinded until the end of their next turn. Once used, the rocket is destroyed and cannot be used again.Random effect
In addition to the explosion, roll a d10 to determine a random effect that occurs at the center of the explosion:| d10 | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 | A cloud of poisonous gas fills a 20-foot-radius sphere. Each creature in the cloud must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The cloud dissipates after 1 minute. |
| 2 | A burst of thunderous sound deafens each creature within 30 feet of the center for 1 minute. Each deafened creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. |
| 3 | A shower of gold coins rains down from the sky, totaling gp. |
| 4 | A swarm of butterflies emerges from the explosion and flutters around for 1 minute. The butterflies are harmless and have no effect on creatures or objects. |
| 5 | A blast of cold air freezes each creature within 30 feet of the center. Each creature must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. |
| 6 | A spray of colorful confetti covers each creature and object within 30 feet of the center. The confetti is harmless and has no effect on creatures or objects, but it is difficult to remove and lasts until washed off. |
| 7 | A beam of radiant light shines down from the sky, illuminating a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on the explosion. Each creature in the light must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is charmed by you until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, the creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn. |
| 8 | A gust of wind blows outward from the center of the explosion, knocking each creature within 30 feet of the center prone. Each creature must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw to avoid being pushed 10 feet away from the center. |
| 9 | A ring of fire surrounds the center of the explosion, forming a 20-foot-diameter circle that is 5 feet high. The ring of fire lasts for 1 minute. Any creature that enters the ring or ends its turn there must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. |
| 10 | A portal to a random plane of existence opens at the center of the explosion, lasting for 1 minute. Any creature that enters the portal is transported to the other plane. The DM determines the destination plane and whether the portal is one-way or two-way. |
Lore
The Rocket of Randomness is a magical item that was created by the same novice wizard, Glimmer, who created the Sparkler of Surprise. Glimmer was always fascinated by the power of fire and the beauty of fireworks, and she wanted to create a magical item that would combine both of these elements in a unique and unpredictable way. She spent years studying the art of pyrotechnics and experimenting with different materials and spells, until she finally succeeded in creating the Rocket of Randomness.
The Rocket of Randomness is a metal cylinder that is imbued with the essence of fire and magic, and it is designed to launch itself into the air and explode in a dazzling display of colors and effects. However, unlike other fireworks, the Rocket of Randomness is completely unpredictable, and no two explosions are ever the same. Some rockets may explode into a shower of sparks, while others may release a cloud of smoke or a burst of flame. Some may even create illusions or summon magical creatures.Despite its unpredictability, the Rocket of Randomness has become a popular item among adventurers and spellcasters, who seek to harness its unique power for their own purposes. Some use it to distract enemies or create diversions, while others use it to entertain crowds or impress their friends. Whatever its use, the Rocket of Randomness is sure to surprise and delight anyone who comes into contact with it.
