In the multiverse of dungeons & dragons there are all sorts of magical artifacts. These are not only unique, but can also give you power that you definitely want to call your own. 5 We have put together particularly powerful for you.
What are artifacts in dungeons & dragons? Artifacts are extremely powerful, unique magical objects, each of which has their own history and origin. They live unimaginable forces.
They often appear when they are used the most or shake the world when they are found. In campaigns, they mostly serve as tools for history as classic equipment for the player characters.
That is why they are often the main goals of campaigns or later campaign sections. But using their power often has their price and if you want to destroy it, you often face big challenges.
Whether looking for a rescue or torn out of a powerful villain to save the multiverse: artifacts offer a wide range of options for your adventure – both for players and game leaders.
How was the list created? For our list we have selected 5 artifacts that are particularly powerful in your own way. We paid attention to the most various installation as possible so that every player and game master can find it. We have limited ourselves to the 5th edition taking into account the new rule books (version 2024).
In addition to the specified individual properties, each artifact has additional properties that can either be defined by the game master or can be rolled randomly. We disregarded these in the selection.
We decided against a direct ranking because the power of an artifact depends on too many factors to compare it well. So an artifact can be powerful because it can manipulate the world around itself or because it can do great damage – or because a player or opponent uses it smartly at a suitable moment.

Sword of Kas (Sword of Kas)
Sword of Kas
Kas was a powerful warrior who served Vecna. As a sign of his loyalty, he received this bloodthirsty long sword. Ultimately, the sword Kas convinced to destroy his gentlemen Vecna, which also heralded his own downfall. Only the sword and an insatiable blood thirst remained.
His thirst for fresh blood goes so far that he has to be satisfied within a minute (i.e. 10 laps in the fight). If this does not happen, his carrier has to create a charisma lifter of 15 so as not to be dominated by him until his wish is fulfilled.
The sword communicates telepathically with its wearer and can thus influence his mind. His absolute goal is to destroy Vecna and those that are under his influence. Likewise, his carrier can work 3 spells, which can be used once a day.
It is considered a magical weapon that makes additional damage to undead and gives its carrier resistance to necrotic damage. Likewise, its attack bonus can be used to be fully or partially applied to your own armaments class.
A powerful artifact for everyone who wants to fight against Vecna or hordes of undead. In order to destroy the sword, the one in the possession of the artifacts Vecnas eye and hand must be attuned to the same. The user can then use his ability to use the magic “wish”. If this succeeds, the sword is destroyed.
