Feather Token

Feather Token is a miscellaneous item found in a coffin in the Lower City. It claims to be able to protect its bearer from steep falls.

If you fall while carrying this token, you take no Falling damage. The token's magic is expended after you land, whereupon the disk becomes non-magical.
A small, faded feather is stamped on one side of this surprisingly light coin.

Notes

• This item's flavor text is unusual, as it appears to break the fourth wall and describe game mechanics directly, including deliberate capitalization of the word "Falling" similar to the descriptive text of  Feather Fall.
• Falling with the Feather Token in your inventory will not protect you from fall damage.
  • Speculatively, this may be a trace of a discarded mechanic that was not implemented in the final game.
  • Narratively, this also implies that the Feather Token's previous carrier had expended its magical use. Since the item is found in a coffin and on a skeleton, it's possible that it didn't work for them, either.
  • One of two items in the game that imply a magical effect but provide no benefit; the other is the Potion of Misty Step.
• Feather Tokens are a classic magic item from tabletop D&D that come in several varieties with different effects. Most are used by throwing them into the air, whereupon they transform into something useful; however, one version, described in the sourcebook Eberron: Rising from the Last War, does provide protection from fall damage.
