PFS StandardAnimated Wine Vessel

A beautiful wine vessel presents a mark of status among drinkers, to say nothing of an animated one that pours the wine on its own. Although normally harmless servants, these vessels will just as quickly follow instructions to swallow intruders and drown them in strong wine.

Animated Handcraft

Source Tian Xia World Guide pg. 278
Many types of animated constructs, objects, and handcrafts have existed in Tian Xia. Some, like the terra-cotta soldiers of Lingshen, are well-known. Others are rarer and less commonly encountered. Tian animated handcrafts are built from traditional artisan materials of differing rarity and with varying levels of effort, relying on crafting skill and quality components more than simple spellcasting.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Calligraphic Embellishments

Calligraphy is a common addition to the animated objects of Tian Xia. Although much of it is decorative, some calligraphy carries enchantments that generally function as weapon runes until the construct is broken.

Sidebar - Advice and Rules Handcraft Creations

Animated handcrafts vary considerably in appearance, reflecting the temperament and tastes of their creators. When describing animated objects from different origins, consider how those origins and traditions are reflected in the final product. Common motifs in Tian animated handcrafts include woven straw, silk embroidery, lacquered wood, or mother-of-pearl inlays. Purely decorative handcrafts might have more outlandish elements, such as live fish in glass tanks or living silk kites that battle each other in the skies above wealthy neighborhoods.
