Tin of Warm Drinks | Free Magic Item for D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e
Designed by Hana the Lorekeeper
Pathfinder 2e conversion by David N. Ross
A simple tin, warm to the touch no matter the weather, holds the key to comfort and clarity in the coldest of climates. The Tin of Warm Drinks provides a handful of magical beverage ingredients—rich coffee, spiced hot chocolate, fragrant tea, or the rare popping wrush berry—each offering a temporary boon alongside resistance to the bitter chill. Whether seeking keen insight, silvered words, or a moment of warmth in a frozen wasteland, the right drink can be a game-changer—but beware, for when the effects fade, the body may pay the price.
By the way, if you’re a busy GM without enough to time to prep like you know you should, Lairs & Legends can help. Grab an adventure, read it in about 15 minutes, and you’re ready to run your game! With over 700 pages of 5e resources, there’s no reason to feel stressed out and overwhelmed before your next D&D game.
Tin of Warm Drinks - 5e
Wondrous item, rare
These small, handheld metal boxes often bear paintings of cheerful patterns invoking fireplaces, lanterns, and merry times. The box never grows cold, even in the coldest temperatures.
Inside are 10 (1d12 + 4) servings of a single drink ingredient from the table below. You can remove a serving from the tin of warm drinks and mix it with a container of water for consumption. The duration of each drink once consumed is 1d4 hours. Characters proficient in Brewer’s Supplies or Cook’s Utensils who make the drink cause it to last 4 hours.
Upon consuming the entire beverage, characters are resistant to cold damage and gain an additional effect based on what drink they consumed. A character can only benefit from one drink at a time. At the end of the duration, characters must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take a level of exhaustion.
Once all servings are removed from the box and consumed, the tin becomes an ordinary metal box.
