Editing List of bugged equipment

This list aims to catalogue equipment which does not function as would be expected based on its tooltip, or that has other problems - or missing information - in its description, function, or location. This list is unlikely to be comprehensive as it is likely there are many issues with items of which we are unaware.

As this list deals with problems that have a high likelihood of being changed in patches and hotfixes, it is likely that entries will be incorrect following an update.

All entries are currently correct as of '''Hotfix 17'''.

==Weapons==

;{{MdRarityItem|Hellrider Longbow}}: The [[Faerie Fire]] effect caused by this weapon's [[Fiendish Fire]] passive can be triggered by attacking with spells, both those with attack rolls and those with saves - including area of effect spells.
;{{MdRarityItem|Faithbreaker}}: The [[Absolute Power]] weapon action deals unlisted additional damage equal to your strength modifier.
;{{MdRarityItem|Ironwood Club}}: Grants [[Ironwood Harmony (Condition)|Ironwood Harmony]] when [[Shillelagh]] is cast on it, dealing 1d4 additional bludgeoning damage, which is not shown on the weapon's tooltip anywhere.
;{{MdRarityItem|Shadow Blade (Weapon)|alias = Shadow Blade}}: The [[Shadow Blade (Passive Feature)|Shadow Blade]] passive granted by this weapon does not give advantage against obscured targets.
;{{MdRarityItem|Shining Staver-of-Skulls}}: The [[Light]] effect granted by this item works differently to all other equipment that provides light, and cannot be toggled off by the wielder.
;{{MdRarityItem|Staff of Arcane Blessing}}: The description of [[Mystra's Blessing]] is incorrect, it only provides an additional 1d4 to spell attack rolls, giving 1d4 to attack rolls, 1d4 to saving throws and 2d4 to spell attack rolls in total. Mystra's Blessing is also only applied when casting bless as a first or second level spell.
;{{MdRarityItem|Wulbren's Hammer}}: Deals an additional 2d4 force damage to objects which is not listed on the tooltip.
;{{MdRarityItem|Bow of the Banshee}}: The [[Blood-Curdling Emission]] passive granted by this weapon adds it's additional attack and damage against frightened targets to all weapon attacks, not just those made by the bow itself.

;{{MdRarityItem|Vicious Shortbow}}: The bonus damage on critical hits from [[Dolor Amarus (passive feature)|Dolor Amarus]] effects crits with any equipped weapon, not just the shortbow.
;{{MdRarityItem|Vicious Battleaxe}}: The bonus damage on critical hits from [[Dolor Amarus (passive feature)|Dolor Amarus]] effects crits with any equipped weapon, not just the battleaxe.
;{{MdRarityItem|Dread Iron Dagger}}: The bonus damage from [[Dread Iron Ambush]] effects attacks with any equiped weapon, not just the dagger.
;{{MdRarityItem|Infernal Mace}}: The [[Infernal Weapon]] passive does not apply [[Poisoned (Condition)|Poison]].
;{{MdRarityItem|Infernal Spear}}: The [[Infernal Weapon]] passive does not apply [[Poisoned (Condition)|Poison]].
;{{MdRarityItem|Monster Slayer Glaive}}: The [[Monsterslayer]] passive provides bonus damage and attack to all attacks targeting monstrosities, instead of just damage when attacking with the weapon itself.
;{{MdRarityItem|Rat Bat}}: Deals an additional 1d6 piercing damage, which is not shown on the weapon's tooltip.
;{{MdRarityItem|The Long Arm of the Gur}}: The [[Revenant Scourge]] passive does nothing.
;{{MdRarityItem|Thermodynamo Axe}}: Gaining heat is limited to once per attack, additional stacks are not granted by attacks that hit multiple enemies such as cleave.
;{{MdRarityItem|Unseen Menace}}: This weapon reduces your critical hit threshold by 1, even though it is not mentioned in the [[Invisible Weapon]] passive it is in the [[Invisible Weapon (Condition)]].
;{{MdRarityItem|Hellfire Greataxe}}: Gaining heat is limited to once per attack, additional stacks are not granted by attacks that hit multiple enemies such as cleave. The [[Roiling Hellfire (Condition)|Roling Hellfire]] created by [[Hellflame Cleave]] weapon action does not ignore fire resistance despite stating it does.
;{{MdRarityItem|Justiciar's Scimitar}}: Has no proficiency requirement, allowing it to be wielded properly by any character. This weapon also has a hidden variant of the [[Shadow Blade (Passive Feature)|Shadow Blade]] passive called Illusion Blade, this effect does not function as the base Shadow Blade passive also does not function.
;{{MdRarityItem|Knife of the Undermountain King}}: The [[Shadow Blade (Passive Feature)|Shadow Blade]] passive granted by this weapon does not give advantage against obscured targets.
;{{MdRarityItem|Crimson Mischief}}: Despite being a shortsword, characters with scimitar proficiency are also able to wield this weapon proficiently. This may be an intended mechanic.
;{{MdRarityItem|Gontr Mael}}: The [[Bolt of Celestial Light]] weapon action incorrectly refers to Gontr Mael as Gontre Motte, it also states it will not use a superiority dice on a miss, but doesn't use superiority dice at all regardless of hitting or missing.
;{{MdRarityItem|Shar's Spear of Evening}}: The bonus damage from [[Shar's Blessing (Shar's Spear of Evening) (passive feature)|Shar's Blessing]] effects attacks with any equipped weapon, not just the spear.
;{{MdRarityItem|The Blood of Lathander}}: The [[Lathander's Light]] passive does not count as a light source for certain situations, such as applying damage from the [[Coruscation Ring]]. It does still count as being in bright light for the purpose of stealth. The Lathander's Light passive also directly searches for the [[Sunlight Hypersensitivity]] passive to apply sunlight to creatures with it, rather than directly acting as a source of sunlight.

==Clothing==

;{{MdRarityItem|Bided Time}}: The [[Time Thoroughly Bided]] passive grants 2 charges of [[Arcane Charge (Condition)|Arcane Charge]], not one as the tooltip implies.
;{{MdRarityItem|Bloodguzzler Garb}}: The [[Grievous Retribution]] passive grants 2 charges of [[Wrath (Condition)|Wrath]], not one as the tooltip implies.
;{{MdRarityItem|Cloth Armour}}: The [[Grievous Retribution]] passive grants 2 charges of [[Wrath (Condition)|Wrath]], not one as the tooltip implies.
;{{MdRarityItem|Enraging Heart Garb}}: The [[Ruintamer Heart]] passive does nothing.
;{{MdRarityItem|Garb of the Land and Sky}}: The [[Breezeswift Speed]] passive grants it's advantage and bonus damage to all attack rolls but is only removed on a successful weapon attack, meaning multiple unarmed or thrown attacks per turn can be made with the bonuses.
;{{MdRarityItem|Moon Devotion Robe}}: The [[Produce Flame]] cantrip granted by this robe always uses Wisdom as it's casting ability, unlike other spells provided by items which use the character's current spellcasting modifier. The version of produce flame granted to Asmodeus Tieflings works the same way, so this item may be using that version of the spell.

==Armour==

;{{MdRarityItem|Elven Chain}}: This armour functions the way it does by simply not having a proficiency requirement, the [[Elven Chain (passive feature)]] effect is purely visual and appears to have no effect. Due to this the item allows many passives that should not work when wearing armour to work regardless. This also has a secondary effect, the armour has a hidden passive to emulate the effect of the [[Defence]] fighting-style, because otherwise it would not count as armour, this hidden passive incorrectly stacks with the fighting style, allowing +2 ac if you're wearing this armour and another armour piece.
;{{MdRarityItem|Unwanted Masterwork Scalemail}}: The [[Exotic Material]] passive does not function if a character has the [[Medium Armour Master]] feat, limiting them to +3 AC from dexterity.
;{{MdRarityItem|Yuan-Ti Scale Mail}}: The [[Exotic Material]] passive does not function if a character has the [[Medium Armour Master]] feat, limiting them to +3 AC from dexterity.
;{{MdRarityItem|Adamantine Scale Mail}}: The [[Adamantine Backlash]] passive will apply more than 2 turns of [[Reeling]] if the attack deals multiple types of damage, e.g. if an attack does piercing + fire damage, the passive will activate twice causing 4 turns of reeling.
;{{MdRarityItem|Armour of Agility}}: The [[Exotic Material]] passive does not function if a character has the [[Medium Armour Master]] feat, limiting them to +3 AC from dexterity.
;{{MdRarityItem|Sharpened Snare Cuirass}}: The [[Exotic Material]] passive does not function if a character has the [[Medium Armour Master]] feat, limiting them to +3 AC from dexterity. While it may not be a bug, the list of sources effected by [[Sharpened Snare]] is extremely limited.
;{{MdRarityItem|Adamantine Splint Armour}}: The [[Adamantine Backlash]] passive will apply more than 2 turns of [[Reeling]] if the attack deals multiple types of damage, e.g. if an attack does piercing + fire damage, the passive will activate twice causing 4 turns of reeling.
;{{MdRarityItem|Helldusk Armour}}: This armour functions the way it does by simply not having a profiency requirement, the [[Helldusk Armour (passive feature)]] effect is purely visual and appears to have no effect. Due to this the item allows many passives that should not work when wearing armour to work regardless. This also has a secondary effect, the armour has a hidden passive to emulate the effect of the [[Defence]] fighting-style, because otherwise it would not count as armour, this hidden passive incorrectly stacks with the fighting style, allowing +2 ac if you're wearing this armour and another armour piece.

==Shields==

;{{MdRarityItem|Shield of the Undevout}}: The [[Dreadful Hewer]] passive also works for abilities and spells that apply [[Frightened (Condition)]].
;{{MdRarityItem|Swires' Sledboard}}: The [[Shield Conduit]] passive grants 2 turns of [[Force Conduit (Condition)|Force Conduit]], not one as the tooltip implies.

==Headwear==

;{{MdRarityItem|Hat of Storm Scion's Power}}: The [[Thunderous Acuity]] passive grants 2 turns of [[Arcane Acuity (Condition)|Arcane Acuity]], not one as the tooltip implies.
;{{MdRarityItem|Marksmanship Hat}}: The [[Marksmanship]] passive effects spell attack rolls and also does not affect off-hand ranged attack rolls.
;{{MdRarityItem|Bonespike Helmet}}: The [[Fury In The Marrow]] passive actually deals no damage on a succesful save instead of half damage.

==Cloaks==

;{{MdRarityItem|Cloak of Elemental Absorption}}: The bonus damage granted by [[Absorb Elements]] only works for weapon attacks, despite the tooltip implying it should work for any attack.
;{{MdRarityItem|Cloak of the Weave}}: The bonus damage granted by [[Absorb Elements]] only works for weapon attacks, despite the tooltip implying it should work for any attack.

==Handwear==

;{{MdRarityItem|Gloves of Baneful Striking}}: The [[Baneful Strike]] passive reduces all of an enemies saving throws for its duration, not just against the wearer's next spell. It also applies without a saving throw.
;{{MdRarityItem|Ichorous Gloves}}: The [[Noxious Fumes (Condition)]] generated by the [[Ichorous Corrosion]] passive imply they will only effect enemies, this does not seem to be the case and they appear to damage anyone inside.
;{{MdRarityItem|Craterflesh Gloves}}: The [[Craterous Wounds]] passive has it's damage increased due to being a critical hit, meaning it will always deal at least 2d6 force damage and not the listed 1d6.
;{{MdRarityItem|Gloves of Battlemage's Power}}: The [[Battlemage's Power]] does give any stacks of [[Arcane Acuity (Condition)|Arcane Acuity]].
;{{MdRarityItem|Flawed Helldusk Gloves}}: The bleeding effect applied by the [[Lesser Infernal Touch]] passive does not show a saving throw in the combat log, it does however appear to function correctly.
;{{MdRarityItem|Gloves of The Duellist}}: The description of the [[Duelling Gloves]] passive is incorrect, the passive still functions if a shield is equipped in your off-hand, much like the [[Duelling]] fighting style.
;{{MdRarityItem|Helldusk Gloves}}: The [[Infernal Acuity]] passive also grants an unlisted +1 to weapon and unarmed attack rolls.
;{{MdRarityItem|Spellmight Gloves}}:The [[Spellmight]] passive grants it's bonus damage to smites that count as spells (Such as [[Thunderous Smite]]) while not reducing their accuracy.
;{{MdRarityItem|Legacy of the Masters}}: The +2 to attack rolls from [[Arming Enhancement]] also applies to spells despite the description specific weapon attacks. The +2 damage is not added to spells.

==Footwear==

;{{MdRarityItem|The Speedy Lightfeet}}: The [[Speedy Sparks]] passive can only activate once per turn, despite the description not stating this.

==Amulets==

;{{MdRarityItem|Amulet of the Drunkard}}: The [[Booze Remedy]] passive only grants it's healing when [[Drunk (Condition)]] is applied, not at the start of each turn while drunk.
;{{MdRarityItem|Sentient Amulet (Very Rare)|alias = Sentient Amulet}}: The tooltip for this item states it grants [[Shatter]] as a second level spell, but the damage dealt is actually that of shatter cast as a third level spell.

==Rings==
;{{MdRarityItem|Ring of Absolute Force}}: The [[Absolute's Tempest]] passive granted by this item functions even if the character wearing it is not branded by the Absolute.
;{{MdRarityItem|Sunwalker's Gift}}: The [[Sunwalker's Gift (passive feature)|Sunwalker's Gift]] passive granted by this ring appears to do nothing.
;{{MdRarityItem|Ring of Feywild Sparks}}: This ring also grants +1 to spell save DC that is not listed anywhere in its description.
