[Dawn of the Yokai] Yukimono (Patreon)

Yukimono

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: undead (yokai) ethereal ichor

After the legendary seamstress of the Mountain Clan passed away one night, many thought her latest work would never be completed. Days later, however, the first yukimono was found in her abandoned home. Many believe that it was her ghost who finished the piece, and that the constant cold felt by the wearer of the kimono is in fact the chill of her grave.

This kimono has 3 charges, represented by the same number of blue wisps floating around it, and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. As a bonus action, you can make the wisps invisible or visible again.

Immaterial Step. While wearing this kimono, other creatures’ spaces aren’t considered difficult terrain for you, and you can move through a hostile creature’s space regardless of its size. When you move into a creature’s space using this property, you take 1d4 force damage, which can’t be reduced or prevented in any way. You can’t willingly end your turn in another creature’s space.

Minor Possession. As a bonus action while wearing this kimono, you can expend 1 charge to speak its command word, instructing one of the blue wisps to possess a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or the wisp enters the creature and can exert limited control over its body for 1 minute, disrupting its movements. For the duration, the creature’s speed is halved and it has disadvantage on the first attack roll it makes on each of its turns. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This property has no effect on Constructs and Undead.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: Increase the charges to 6, the recharge to 1d4 + 2, and the DC to 15. The item has the Major Possession property.

Major Possession. While wearing this kimono, you can use an action to force several of the blue wisps into a creature at the same time, expending 4 charges to cast the dominate person spell (save DC 15).

Very rare variant: Increase the charges to 6, the recharge to 1d4 + 2, and the DCs to 16. The item has the Major Possession property. While wearing the kimono, you have resistance to cold damage.
