Eye of the Hollow (5e Equipment)

From D&D Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Wondrous item, (Replacement Eye), Very Rare, (requires attunement)

An actualy alive parasite in the form of a replacement eye. If you have lost an eye, and you put this eye in your empty eye socket,

Hollow Sight. You are able to magically sense any hollow room, object or other physical item within 30 feet of you.


Discernment. You are able to magically sense an aura from anyone you meet. The colors of this aura depend on the alignment of this creature; Red: Chaotic

Green: Lawful

Blue: Neutral

Purple: Evil

Yellow: Good

  • You cannot see an aura from any creature conciously trying to hide themselves, and if the creature has magically disguised themselves, they take on the color of whoever they disguise as.


Gaze of the Void. You have advantage on intimidation checks when looking into someones eyes. Upon success, the target sees a strange, cold and empty void in your Eye of the Hollow. The target feels a chilling sensation run up their spine, as well as getting the feeling as if others are watching them from the shadows.


Glance of Soul. Once every long rest, you can use an action to glare at a target you can see. The target must make a wisdom saving throw or be forced to face their own soul. The effect depends on the alignment of the creature;


Lawful Good: The target faces a fake version of whoever they put their faith in most, such as a friend, a caretaker, a loved one or even a deity they trust in. That fake will then tell the target that what they did up until now was not enough. The fake will then take away the targets most prized possession, before walking away and disappearing into the distance. The target then falls through the floor, and they wake up.

Neutral: The target finds themselves in a place they vaguely remember, together with someone they seem to recognise from somewhere, though they just cannot put a finger on from where. That person will tell the target that they will end up just like them: alone, without anyone to recognise them, and with no notable accomplishments. The floor then opens up, and they fall into nothingness, before waking up.

Chaotic Evil: The target finds themselves in their deathbed. They are unable to move or speak, and their loved one, in a very old form, sits next to them, crying. The heart beat monitor flatlines, and the targets vision gets blurry. When they open their eyes again, they are at their own burial, but no one is there. The lid of the coffin closes, and they wake up.

  • The target is unable to take any action on their next turn and spends their turn living this illusion. The effect of the event on the character is interpreted by the DM and player.


Curse. This Eye is cursed. Use this standard way of getting rid of the curse or create a homebrew one --> Attuning to this item curses you. While under the effect of this curse, you slowly start to feel more empty and devoid of any emotion over the course of a long time span. This time may vary greatly. Some lose their sense of reality after a few days, while others who are more resistant can take months or even years to become a husk of who they once were. When finally losing all their emotions, they turn into something called a Hollow One. Upon turning into a Hollow One, their Non-Hollow eye turns into an Eye of the Hollow as well. A Hollow is a monster that is extremely envious of all others who have a strong sense of purpose. Their aggression is more focused towards aligned creatures, such as Chaotic Evil or Lawful Good, rather than those who are more neutrally aligned, such as Neutral. A Hollow One's goal is to give both their eyes to different creatures, passing away when they have given both their eyes.

Curse Removal. Before a person turns into a Hollow One, their Eye can be removed, and upon being cracked open, a shiny crystal can be found. If somehow repaired, the eye will lose its cursed status, and now just function as a magic item. The crystal will be shining more brightly depending on the amount of Emotions it has absorbed from the creature it has infected. The 2 colors of the crystal depend on the alignment of its host;

Red: Chaotic

Green: Lawful

Blue: Neutral

Purple: Evil

Yellow: Good


A potion can be made of the crystal. If the crystal has absorbed emotions, the consumer will take on the alignment connected to the color of the crystal for up to 1 month, depending on the amount of emotions the crystal has taken on. If the crystal has not taken emotions yet, it can be turned into a potion which changes the consumer's mind for a month. In this state, the consumer continues their daily activities, but they will not take in any differences. They will simply continue doing what they usually do. The consumer automatically fails all saves against being charmed, and anyone can make an action to charm the consumer without needing to use a spell slot.
