This supplement offers six cosmetics-themed magic items and one cosmetics-themed monster for 5e, priced at $1.99. Sharang is a friend of mine and I received this review copy for free, but I don’t feel that those things have significantly colored my commentary here.

They are a more tangible reward from a party’s adventuring than a sack of gold coins ever could be. Items such as a +1 longsword or Staff of Power provide a clear mechanical benefit, but what about magic items with less obvious uses? Those can be the best, most memorable kind.
