This new magic item for Dungeons & Dragons is a small bronze statue that becomes a celestial companion to serve as your steed. The steed grows in power as you gain levels.
Figurine of the Celestial Steed
Wondrous Item, uncommon [Tier 1]
(requires attunement)
Weight: 2 lbs.
This bronze statue of a horse is small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living celestial creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.
The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. It acts on your turn. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions. If you have a non-good alignment, the creature has a 10 percent chance each time you use it to ignore your orders, including a command to revert to figurine form.
The creature exists for a duration specific to each Tier. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in each Tier level.
Celestial Steed (Tier 1). When you attune to the figurine while levels 1-4, the steed becomes a Riding Horse for up to 6 hours. Once it has been used, it can’t be used again until 3 days have passed.
