Don’t leave your adventurers high and dry when it’s Spring Break season. These magic items will make you the life of any party.

One of the many archetypes for D&D games is the magical academy/adventuring academy. Not only does it exist as an official setting, by way of Strixhaven Curriculum of Chaos, it’s also an archetype found in many D&D Actual Plays, including Dimension 20’s Aquefort Adventuring Academy, Gals & Goblins’ Frogmont Academy, and The Mystery County Monster Hunters Club, just to name a few.

And even magical academies let their students off for spring break. With these magic items, your adventurer is sure to make their next spring break one to remember.

Alchemy Jug

This humble jug is enough to get any party started. All it takes is a Utilize action, and you can direct it to pour from a variety of liquids in a variety of amounts. You can, from a single jug pour out a gallon of wine, a quart of nonspecific “oil”, two gallons of mayonnaise, or four gallons of beer. That’s 32 pints—enough to kick off the spring break party of your adventurers dreams.

Pipe of Smoke Monsters

Listen, this pipe is absolutely magical. You can hit it as a Magic action, and then exhale a puff of smoke that takes on the shape of creature, such as a dragon, a flumph, or a slaad. Just make sure you pass it to the left.

Charlatan’s Die

Of course, sometimes spring break is all about playing games with your friends. And that’s when something like ba Charlatan”s Die comes in handy. Because when you roll this magical dice, you can control what number you roll. Unlike at the actual game of D&D you’re playing in, where the dice will have their due. Maybe use this one sparingly.

Cast Off Armor

It wouldn’t be an adventurer’s spring break without late night skinny dipping. But if you’re wearing armor? You’ll be the last one in for sure. Which means not only will everyone see you, you’ll also be a rotten egg.

Fortunately, cast-off armor has your back. This magical armor can be doffed as a single action, making sure you’re always ready to jump to action.

Apparatus of Kwalish

Finally, you can’t have an epic spring break without having an epic road trip. And what better way to have an epic road trip than in an Apparatus of Kwalish. Not only is it stored as a barrel, it’s a magical lobster submarine that you can also fight with. You can bring your whole crew and arrive in style.

Spring break for adventurers!
