Old age and experience is no match for cheap tricks...
Nerd By Northwest #268 – “Pride Goeth Before the Fall”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
The way I pictured this going was that Magnus would be overpowering Vanifer by a fair bit, even with most of his spells being focused on drinking, wenching, and other forms of debauchery. But "the good guys trounced the bad guys in the final fight without breaking a sweat" doesn't make for an interesting story or work for my other ideas. So Vanifer needed a trump card, and this seems perfectly appropriate for someone of Magnus' character. 😈
Some of you might wonder, though, wouldn't a womanizing lecher like Magnus have a lot of experience with women nailing him in the crotch, and thus be more on his guard? Possibly. But that wouldn't be any match for this particular unique magical item Vanifer's wearing... 😁
"Boots of Groin Attraction"
Wondrous Item, Rare
"A creation of the sorceress 'Daria the Devious', these boots were crafted to defeat a particularly obnoxious warrior rival of hers whose Ring of Spell Turning gave him the edge in any confrontation. Once she "dispatched" her rival, she gave the boots to an apprentice who created more boots, one of which she sold to an up-and-coming magic-user by the name of Vanifer.
These boots allow the wearer to have advantage with any attack that involves a kick to an opponent's groin. On a successful hit, the target takes 1D8 + Strength modifier damage and must also make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be stunned for 1D4 rounds. However, the slightly uncomfortable aura these boots give off also give the wearer disadvantage on Charisma checks with other male characters or NPC's."
