Potions2

A glass vial sealed with a silver cap; a warm, red liquid sloshes inside. A common restorative useful between fights.

Heal 7 HP

A deeper crimson potion in a squat bottle. Heavier and more alchemical refinement than the common potion.

Heal 14 HP
Miscellaneous5

A heavy-looking leather sack embroidered with tiny stitched eye motifs. It feels absurdly light for its size.

Interior space holds up to 500 lb and 64 cubic feet; retrieving an item requires an action; if pierced or overloaded the bag ruptures and contents are scattered to the Astral Plane.

A battered felt hat with an embroidered pupil on the brim. It smells faintly of brimstone and old parchment.

While wearing, you can use an action to cast disguise self at will. The spell ends if the hat is removed.

A small, perfectly round pearl kept inside a glass phial. It glows dimly with stored arcane energy.

Pearl can be used once per day; returns an expended spell slot (max 3rd level).

A small pack stitched with concentric eyes; the shoulder straps are soft and comfortable. The central pouch seems impossibly roomy.

Like a bag of holding but compact; retrieving an item requires an action. Placing it inside certain extradimensional items causes dangerous planar effects.

A modest silver ring with a perfectly round black stone like an unblinking pupil. Powerful but understated.

AC +1A plain silver band with a tiny engraved iris; softly warms to the touch when danger is near.
Armor3

A glossy, many-layered cloak with an embroidered central eye on the back. The fabric seems to shift when you blink.

AC +1While worn, grants bonus to AC and to saving throws.

Sleek black leather boots, the soles seem to absorb sound. Tiny glass beads stitched to the seams resemble unblinking eyes.

While worn, your steps make no sound; advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks that rely on moving silently.

Leather bracers inlaid with a single glass bead that resembles an intent stare. Lightweight and springy.

Provides proficiency flavor for archers and a +2 damage bonus with ranged attacks made with bows.
Weapons2

A well-crafted longsword whose fuller is inlaid with a faintly glowing eye motif along the blade.

Atk A finely balanced steel sword etched with tiny ocular runes; grants +1 to attack and damage rolls.

A knotted ebony wand capped with a small crystal that sparks when pointed. It hums with contained force.

As an action, expend 1 or more charges to cast magic missile; each extra charge upcasts the spell by one level.

Shop Atmosphere

The owner watches customers from a cluster of glass-domed display eyes that float near the counter. It prefers bargains struck while the buyer stares directly into its central pupil. It hates the sound of laughter and will reduce prices if the party displays deference; it will add a small surcharge if anyone blinks more than once mid-negotiation. The beholder catalogs any arcane signature detected and will hiss softly if it recognizes an item it covets.
