Five Magic Items That Will Make You a Jedi but for D&D
What if you’re playing D&D but you want to be a Jedi? Good news, these five magic items will let you live that dream.
D&D and Jedi is a crossover that makes even more sense than the Jetsons and the Flintstones. After all, the Jedi of Star Wars are basically space wizards.
And D&D already lets you play a Wizard. And now with Spelljammer, you can be a wizard in space. So with that in mind, here are five magic items that will make your D&D character a Jedi.
Sun Blade
Let’s start with the most iconic one here. Jedi and their lightsabers are symbolically entwined. Inextricably linked. And in D&D, you can already wield one. The Sun Blade is an item that “appears to be a longsword hilt.” With a bonus action, you can ignite the blade, which gives you a +2 to attack and damage rolls and deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage. The blade emits a bright light that is actually sunlight. So it can also help you kill vampires. And Sith. Basically the same thing.
Eyes of Charming
The next best thing Jedi are known for? Their mind tricks. Jedi have a way of making you see things from a certain point of view. And in D&D Jedi mind tricks are easily within reach. The best way to do this is with the Eyes of Charming.
These crystal lenses allow you to spend 1 charge as an action to cast the charm person spell. Which lets you convince someone that they don’t need to see your identification.
Robe of the Archmagi
Alright, so this one is maybe a little overkill. But after lightsabers and mind tricks, Jedi are all about robes. And in D&D Jedi robes could just as easily be magical robes. Really any robes would do. There’s the Robe of Eyes, the Robe of Stars. But the Robe of the Archmagi advertises your Dungeons and Dragons alignment, makes you better in combat, since it increases your AC to 15 + Dex Mod, and makes you a better wizard.
If that doesn’t scream “D&D Jedi” what does?
Ring of Telekinesis
You’ve got the lightsaber. You’ve got the mind tricks and even the robes. But can you use the Force to move objects? Can you lift an X-Wing out of a swamp?
With the ring of telekinesis you can!
This ring gives you at-will access to the telekinesis spell. Which is already great. You can only move objects with it, but you’ll be able to do so freely. So get out there and lift C-3PO‘s throne up to the heavens!
Ring of Jumping
Okay, now we’re in the weeds. Time to bust out the deep cuts and b-sides of Jedi. They jump real good, though. Video games and movies have shown us all how true that is. And the ring of jumping makes you good at jumping. You jump thrice as well as normal. Just like a Jedi, but in D&D.
And that’s just Magic Items. There are plenty of other ways, but you gotta start somewhere!
