20 Fantasy Prosthetics

Full Item Description

Most of these items will magically integrate themselves with the host and function as part of the wearer’s body, except where noted otherwise.

1.) Hothama’s Fangs

This set of false teeth are equipped with retractable razor-sharp tips that provide the wearer with a dangerous bite attack. They are, however, mechanically complicated and have lots of nooks and crannies for germs to build up, requiring that they be kept meticulously clean. Of course, they bear no labels indicating this. These can only be used if the wearer currently has no teeth.

2.) The Medusa Wig

A mass of snakes when worn will give the wearer a fine mane of poisonous vipers. They only grudgingly obey the wearer and draw a small amount of blood from the wearer to survive. Anyone who comes in close proximity (1 to 2 feet)to the wearer will be attacked unless the wearer concentrates to stop them. The wearer must shave all hair before donning the wig, and it is quite difficult to pry the wig off once worn.

3.)The Eye of Seyetha

This Ivory eyeball is made to look as realistic as possible, and conceals its origins. It actually is a spy device for some powerful evil entity - anything seen is relayed back to the entity. It provides it’s wearer with the ability to see into shadows and is especially good at highlighting items of value.

4.) Shaeriks Talons

This hand is crafted from finely worked steel. It is composed of both forearm and hand, which is fully articulated. The fingers are equipped with retractable claws. When placed against a stump, it will graft itself and magically link itself to the wearer. The claws are a little unpredictable, and have on occasion extended themselves at inopportune times.

5.) The Clay Face of Narad

This mask of magical clay was created for Narad, a wealthy lord who fell victim to leprosy. The mask provides a face one can almost mistake for normal. When placed on a living being, it will meld itself strongly to the face, taking on an appearance willed by the wearer. In dim light, the mask appears as normal skin and the wearer can assume the appearance of other people. Peeling the mask off is difficult and is easily damaged unless removed with great care.

6.) Volstokks Remote Hand

This replacement hand consists of a metal forearm equipped with a three-fingered metal hand. The hand is capable of detaching itself from the arm and operating up to 100’ feet from the stub. The hand is capable of minor manipulations and is able to climb walls. The hand is generally reliable, but does contain a separate spirit that could decide to go its own way.

7.) The Black Chains of Mashark

This odd item consists of a set of four 4’ chains attached to a short metal hub which in turn is fitted with a leather sleeve. The sleeve will fit over a shoulder where the arm is absent, or is only a short stub. The chains are wrapped together at 6" intervals by thin leather straps, holding the chains into a roughly arm-like form. The ends of the chains are left loose enabling them to be used like fingers. The wearer can choose to burst the leather straps allowing the 4 chains to operate independently, but with reduced strength.

8.) Legs of the Plains-dwellers

This bizarre item appears to be a small, headless mechanical horse. A huge socket fits the bottom of a legless torso.
Once attached, the legs will provide mobility to the bearer equal to that of a centaur. The item will draw energy from its wearer, causing normal levels of exhaustion.

9.) The Stone Heart

This enchanted stone heart will actually function for the owner if magically implanted, but they will lose all empathy and compassion. The stone heart will continue to beat even upon death of its user (presumably, from a cause other then heart-failure).

10.) The Ribs of Naarun

Torn from the corpse of the dead hero Naarun, this ribcage can be magically implanted. The owner will gain the legendary strength and hardiness of the lost hero. The downside is that the ribcage does not adjust it’s size to the new owner, and could lead to much difficultly should the new owner and the old hero vary greatly in size.

11.) Korghs’ Cast Iron Stomach

Literally a stomach of cast iron, enchanted to provide digestion and acid resistance, this artificial organ provides the user with the ability to tolerate virtually any foodstuff. It does not protect the rest of the digestive tract, so the user can still not do such things as eat glass, drink acid or other things that injure on the way down. The organ must be either implanted surgically - dangerous in medieval times - or by specialized magic. The stomach is heavy and will cause gradual distention over the years of the user’s abdomen.

12.) Stovorts Peg of Stability

This peg leg has been enchanted to provide unrivaled stability on even wet, pitching decks, allowing the wearer to at least stand on their peg-leg while all the fury of the elements lashes at them. The user can also pivot on it without losing their balance. Apart from this feature, it is an unremarkable and unarticulated peg leg. Of course, the wearer must be missing most if not all of a lower leg to make use of this.

13.) The Blacksmith’s Hand

Created to allow a skilled blacksmith to once again work at a forge after losing his hand in battle, this replacement forearm and hand is built with blacksmithing in mind. It can change forms - hammer, pliers, awl punch and chisel, and even more useful will not transmit heat to the wearer.
It is limited in its dexterity, even in its plier form.

14.) The Stub of Storage

Used in conjunction with other limb types, it replaces 6" of arm or leg with a hollow compartment which is carefully concealed, looking like solid wood. Occasionally enchantments are added to allow for greater storage space then the physical dimensions allow.

15.) Legs of Springing

A matched pair of full-sized legs, these need to both be used to take advantage of their abilities. The legs are spring loaded and allow the wearer to achive much higher running speeds and jumping capability, but due to their weight, at reduced levels of endurance. They are quite heavy, adding the greater of (50lbs / 25% body weight) to the users normal (with legs!) weight.

16.) Ears of Yesithisale

These ears were actually severed from Yesithisale, an elven hero. Blessed with the greatest of hearing, the elf was unbearably vain even with his own people. The legend is that his own people abandoned him to his enemies.

They must be attached in place of existing ears. The wearer gains superior hearing in forest situations, but is greatly hindered in noisy, urban situations. It is possible that the elf in question still lives, and might take umbrage if they were ever to cross paths with someone wearing their ears.

17.) Gadarin’s Iron Fist

Actually a whole arm, this prosthetic only has articulated elbow and wrist - the hand is a solid, non-articulated fist, suitable only for bashing things, or the most simple of interactions. It is, of course, quite heavy but very strong.
