Dungeons and Dragons Lore: MORE Lich Magic Items

[@Zaprozhan]

The Lich's Lantern is especially delicious and evil. It would make a great McGuffin, or central quest item.

[@sanddry738]

It reminds me of the dark lantern from Over the Garden Wall. Would be great for a Lich that resides in a dark forest

[@tatsusama3192]

The lantern item is genius. I love everything about it - Robe of Useful Organs🤣❤️

[@EnnuiElpis]

I actually came up with one. Here it is: Soul Canister: this glass canister, originally invented by the famous Archlich Acererak, is worn on the back of a belt by the lich. Its effect is that it can be used as an alternative material component when casting the spell Soul Cage. The canister can hold 12 souls at a time, as opposed to just one. In addition, the user of the canister can attempt to suck any incorporeal undead they encounter into it, the undead spirit having to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. The famous Soul Monger that Acererak used during the Tomb of Annihilation adventure was an advanced, scaled-up form of this device. Acererak invented it to get around the hassle of collecting souls one at a time to feed to his Phylactery for him and his followers.

I love the idea of an item that makes you only talk in goblin when worn but you effectively have advantage on persuasion roles with them.

[@Dimizar]

King Smirsneak's club of stabbing, is a +3 melee enchanted weapon. It's a legendary weapon of a goblin warren near the sword coast, appearing as a club with spear head tied to it. Due to strange gobnoid magiks the spear head deals bludgeoning damage equal to a +2 club, and getting hit by the club part deals piercing damage equal to a +1 spear.

[@EnnuiElpis]

If you have the work “Ezmerelda’s Encyclopedia of Evil” one of it’s many sections, on Liches, has an entry for a creature called a Grisgol, which is essentially an animated phylactery. The phylactery forms the heart of a construct, but it is surrounded by spell scrolls and magic items that all fly together to form a humanoid construct more than capable of defending itself (although it usually just uses one of its spell scrolls to escape, casting something like teleport or plane shift). One original idea I personally had for necromancers was that a necromancer could combine their skills with reanimating corpses with skill in artifice to imbue their zombie minions with all sorts of gadgetry features such as detachable arms with chains tying them to their body, a projectile weapon like a dart gun, small flamethrower, or even a self-destruct bomb being stored in their torso. I would think that a practice like this would actually be common, and any necromancer worth their salt, would far from just randomly animating any random corpses nearby, would instead seek to customize their undead minions, surgically designing them to maximize their effectiveness.

[@chickenmonger123]

I toyed with an ideal of a high level Wizard wishing to avoid lichdom. Because that’s icky. So he makes the most obvious choice in 5e, and goes with Clone. (This specifies up your clones age. And upon specific over general actually deages you.) However even though his renames are inert, and cannot be used for reanimating he gets an idea. He strips all the flesh, and uses a metallurgical technique to electroplate the entire corpse. He performs whatever enchantments he thinks he needs. He gathers armor, covering clothes and animates it. And since the animate dead spell says the GM provides the Stat block, and the DMG specifies the skeleton has a form of (medium?) armor, and weapons, we can easily presume that the given remains supply said weapons and armor, and they are therefor proficient. Because Skeletons do add their proficiency to their weapon attacks IIRC. A little DM fiat could do all kinds of interesting things with that. Ring of Mind Shielding allowing your Skeleton to wear your ring if you die with it on. Ring of Spell Storing.

Love the vapors of vistigiel vitality. Using that in my next game. My players won't see it coming that the ghost opposing them is actually a Lich. They will be scrambling to figure out how to lay them to rest.

[@Zasek2112]

I had idea's going in the opposite direction, magic item's that require the users soul to power a link to the positive energy plane. Only one was ever made as a prototype weapon of mass destruction against Atropus. The idea was a kamikaze mission that would require hundreds or even thousands of these weapons to be used.

[@jorgeb1015]

Such devious minds you have. Scary... And cool! Hahaha. What about trying the opposite? For example celestial items that turn evilness into goodness? Or neutrally aligned items held by Norns, such items that can twist, enforce or deny fate?

[@informedconsumer5293]

^BUMP

[@litchqueenasenath5995]

That might be a really cool idea for a super powerful lich, who has been roped into something beyond even their own comprehension and has achieved absolutely insane power being tied to the whims of fate, but being unable to interact directly with anything or anyone that had an actual Fate (as opposed to the generic fate of death). Sure, they're indestructible until fate says otherwise, but they cannot just do what they want and have to work towards balancing the fates of good and evil. TL;DR a neutral aligned lich who has been forced into maintaining balance might be really cool.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

They don't need to be neutral to serve that purpose. I would think the kind of obsessive drive that evil can provide would work better. Evil is just selfish. Putting their goals before all else. What if the evil being's goal is to aid the forces of good? A real the ends justify the means type. And have the flexibility that comes with not giving a damn about what other people think. Only caring about results.

[@sanddry738]

The sheer amount of potential of all these items is absolutely brilliant! I absolutely loved how creative stuff like the robe of many organs is and the variety of consequences for the living to use this. For another competition having Dragon magic items makes the most sense since that was a topic in another video.

[@DuskXIIII]

I forgot to mention the effects of one the paired items for my entry even though it didn't win I'd still appreciate feedback on it. The Ring of Klous Mou when used separately of the sword by a living being grants two affects depending on whether the side of beast or man is facing outward. Man grants +3 to charisma exceeding the cap of 20 and granting the ability to cast charm person with a DC of 18 once a day... But with each passing day of the ring being worn without use of the sword it drains charisma by one boosting the effect of the rings enchantment by one until the wearer hits a score of zero at which point they die and rise as a ghoul. With the side beast outward it gives a bonus of +5 strength. With each day that passes the wearer becomes more and more prone to violence as they slowly lose intelligence, boosting the enchantment of the ring until they hit zero. Dying and raising from the dead as a wight. In both cases the resulting creature is compelled to seek out the sword of Klous Mou and either unite the items (killing said creature instantly) or die at the hands of its wielder effectively ensuring said person will wear the ring and start their slow decent into vampirism.

When the hordes size reaches 10,000 and for every 10,000 above that it gains +1 and another ability(mace of striking, mace of command ect) up to a +5. At 50,000 it also gains the notice of the orcish pantheon, they may hear Gruumch speak to them in dreams, orc's close to the chief will have noticed small changes over time that can no longer be denied. The shaman (or chief, whoever doesn't have the weapon) will almost certainly challenge them at some point and lose, but the chief will lose an eye in that duel and the horde will take it as a sign of Gruumch's personal blessing. At this point the rest of the world is in serious trouble. The exact horde size per +1 and abilities I leave up to the dm that puts it in a campaign, custom it to whatever monsterious race you like.

Other than a bunch of excuses, then 3rdE came and all monsters/ creatures had listed average ability score stats, such as frost giants making good sorcerers/ bards.

[@mikefahey9910]

I like the items attuned to the undead that give negative effects to the adventurers if they attune to them. My take on it would be when attuning to the item, a jolt of necrotic damage would hit the character with a CON save for half damage. If the damage received reduced the character to half hit points the character would not be able to attune to the item and could not attempt attuning to the item for 24 hours. If the character is able to attune to the item, it functions normally.

Not SPECIFIC to Undead, but I can see a "Map Of Vengeance," that many would seek. Sought by both revenants, & incorporeal undead who were created from murder victims, this looks to be a sheet of parchment, with indecipherable runes on it. It exists simultaneously on the Ethereal Plane, & Physical Plane . With the expenditure of hit points, in the form of cutting one's self, the blood or undead equivalent rearranges the "runes" into a map showing the location of where those who have most wronged the user are in the world. If their visages are unknown it will reveal those as well, obviously for a murder victim, or their survivor that will be the killers. If destroyed the map will reappear elsewhere on the same Plane.

I need to know, where does that last image come from and what does it entail? a three-headed lich and one wearing a flower crown are more bizar to me than the rest of the video.

[@AJPickett]

Could be a skull lord, or cadre of demiliches. Screenshot the image, do a Google image search.

[@viniciuscorreia8896]

Please do merfolk Magic itens , especially those Who trades fins/legs and legs/fins

[@SupersaiyanChristian]

Are these items available anywhere? I'd love to have them to spice up a campaign

[@AJPickett]

The script for this video is hosted free to the public on my patreon.

[@davidfletcher6703]

How about items for vampires or werewolves

[@social3ngin33rin]

omg i love that soul lantern XD So much flavor lol

[@matthewmarting3623]

Yeah, I went to high school with the guy who designed it and he’s amazing about lore like that. Always thinking of the next bit of lore

[@biteso2333]

Lichee be vibing

[@pierrehurley]

Don't suppose that anyone has an item card for any of these in particular the Similphactorum

[@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutube]

I have been looking for any lore on a Lich ( or otherwise) device that captures souls and puts them into armor. I keep finding constructs, not spirit inhabited armor or mobile objects really. Can i get some help?

[@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutube]

Little back story.. have a artifact called Garden of Shadows that stores souls from all near by deaths. The artifact is broken, and to big to take anywhere, in that it was intended to be a powersource, but the enchanted temple is sealed by a god. Anyway some smartypants / previous inhabitance proved it can transfer a soul into a suit of armor. My party is trying to figure out how to reproduce that result and more or less recue a bunch of people who died by getting them into suits and problem solving things elsewhere. So far tho we keep getting golems, animated armor, and spectual skeletons, but no friends souls into the suits, due to a lack of having some kind of correct pathway. Any item, spell, or ritual able to help?

[@AJPickett]

Hmmm... Cast true resurrection on them, it's actually easier and cheaper than trying to imprison their soul in an object which they can animate and direct.

[@johnathanbrandt2526]

Not lich lore specifically but may i recommend the Eidolon and Sacred Statue stat blocks from pages 193 and 194 of Mordenkainen's tome of foes. The eidolon is an incorporeal Undead of any alignment created by a god. Its only two real abilities are a 60 foot fear affect DC 15 and Sacred Animation where it enters a statue and animates it with multiattack, a slam attack, and a rock throwing attack.

[@revshad4226]

Do they have to be your organs for the robe. I feel like a clever lich would harvest the organs of the adventurers that came to challenge them to always have a full supply

[@AJPickett]

perhaps the lich could use the soul of an adventurer and it's own phylactery to regenerate it's lost organs.

[@jeramiedavis6782]

What items would be appropriate for a draco lich.

[@Zasek2112]

plate mail made from it's own scales?

[@AJPickett]

gravestone golems, Eidolons, gargoyle skeletons, crystals in the eye sockets that absorb radiant damage and fire it back at it's source... that sort of thing.

[@flameofazure]

Source/Artist for the art at 28:58? That's so awesome looking!

[@AJPickett]

Screenshot the image, paste and save, open Google, select image search, import the image, Google will provide all the matching images, one of them will most likely be the artists portfolio web page.

[@flameofazure]

@@AJPickett thank you!

[@JabezFuutonSpecialis]
