Filled out my Backerkit Survey today. #7 reporting in.

[@DrLipkin]

I've been wanting to make a sword with the mind of a blink dog for years now. Acts as an immovable rod if you tell it to "Stay." Teleports to your hand if you tell it to "Come." And let's you cast Misty Step a certain number of times a day if you are holding it.

[@JPruinc]

I think that dog will hunt.

[@nicholasharris4306]

"Kill". It uses one of the misty step charges to teleport up to 30ft, make a single attack. And then return to your hand again".

[@DrLipkin]

@@nicholasharris4306 I'd probably go with "Sick 'em!" but not bad otherwise.

[@jasonrustmann9876]

This is a fantastic idea! I'm adding this to my loot list lol

[@jakubguziur7522]

I want to politely inform you that I'm stealing the hell out of this.

[@LoLotov]

I like the idea of a capstone artificer ability where they can craft intelligent items... like either summoning an outside intelligence from the ether to come live in the item, or maybe trapping a slain foe's soul. Would be good on a necromancerish sub class with create undead and gentle repose on the spell list, and perhaps they gain the equivalent of a manual of flesh golems at some point.

[@jamestaylor3805]

Humonculus...

[@LoLotov]

@@jamestaylor3805 right on man I'm not super up to date on artificers, make your humonculous an intelligent weapon or armor, and you gain extra hit bonuses, advantage on perception and such... thinking about it that way definitely takes it down from a capstone ability and makes it just part of being an artificer.

[@necro6767676]

I had my players raid a sleeping red dragons lair and they decided to sneak into where he was sleeping. 10 feet from the door was a beautiful sword stuck into the ground. Beside the sword was a pile of molten metal and holding the handle was a pristine hand. The barbarian took the sword and later they ran into some kobolds. He proudly withdrew his new sword and found out it was rusted with holes in the blade and had a -3 to hit. The sword is sentient and craves only a worthy fight so anything under cr3 it has a minus to hit but grows in power the higher the cr of the foe it faces.

[@bleddynwolf8463]

That’s badass.

Good morning!

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

Dragon scale armor is a very low hanging fruit for combat prowess at the cost of social encounter viability. I like that druids get access to all medium armor, but people assume they can only use leather and hide armor. Sure you can try to get dragon scale mail, but the dragons in this setting like to talk. Is just scale mail really worth the fallout of that? You know umber hulks and giant crabs can be used to make half or even full plate, and they don't ask the party questions.

[@MrDavidKord]

Ankheg plate is a classic 👌

[@TheKazragore]

I use something called Ironbark in my setting. Arctic druid circles know the secrets of "living" wooden armour that is grown around a basic mannequin shape that is broken into various pieces to form a set of armour.

[@MrDavidKord]

@@TheKazragore I've used ironwood for armor. I also like stoneplate for dwarves in some settings.

[@MithranderGray]

My party's biggest fight over loot was not over some legendary item of epic power, but instead over a Cloak of Billowing.

[@bashingthrough]

All of my characters end up wearing Dragon Scale Armor because it's awesome and is a mark of dragons they've slain. I never realized I was essentially the Buffalo Bill of Dragons. Duly Noted.

[@JPruinc]

*looks in mirror* “I’d fly me…”

[@robertbeach71]

[@Balcamion79]

One of my players gave me a throw away line that he called his long sword Cheryl. I turned it into Sherahl the Wind Sheerer, one of 5 pieces of a trapped Djinn. Throughout the campaign he accumulated more pieces trapped in her armor worn by an air myrmidon, a shield of e oppression with her face, and other components until he could finally free her.

[@robertbeach71]

Love this

[@Balcamion79]

Thanks! It was really fun, and she became a fun source of chaos afterwards, accidentally making things happen by wishing for them out loud and acting kind of jealous over the PC who rescued her.

[@rickthompson3843]

When the fellas were talking about items growing in power, it reminded me of how the Samurai class worked back in 3.5 Oriental Adventures. You had a special weapon as part of your class that became more and more magical as you gained levels. If they ever rework the Artificer class to be a little more robust, I think that would be a good bit of history to look at.

[@AuthoritativeNewsNetwork]

Speaking of crafting items; I always enjoyed the idea that to create a slayer weapon (not ammunition) you literally had to use the weapon to slay a type of creature. My sword has cleaved the heads from a 1000 goblins and now has a taste for their blood. Kind of like how creating Demonic/Cursed weapons is often portrayed. The dagger of the serial killer was actually a Human Slayer (Dagger +1), that may whisper dark things to you about how to increase it to a +2 weapon.

[@jetsonpitsch4293]

Perfect lunchtime video. One of my players has an axe from a Dullanhan they killed. Now that he has attuned to it, whenever he decapitates an enemy, a brand is going to be left on the body with a hint to find a piece of the Dullahans skull. Just came up with that from this video. Thanks dudes!

[@Raiighn]

25:20 "Are you sure? Cause I know about all of them..." Why is Jim me? I'll take a Dread Helm, Cloak of Billowing, and Moon-Touched Sword over the +1 sword any day.

[@Lordtheobald]

I'm reminded of our Sentient glasses . . . We let it read a tome to increase its intelligence. It couldn't speak, so someone had to wear it and it conveyed emotions to get the wearer to turn the page. That player had a tick for a few days after wards every time he felt the same emotion.

[@SlothinAintEasy]

I just want a trash talking weapon. Like a bards soul trapped in a giant club wielded by a barbarian.

[@byzantinex]

I gave an intelligent magical staff that can speak... To our DEAF wizard 🤣 The staff gets angry and yells at the other players to tell the wizard stuff 😁

[@TheLastWhiteKid]

Hey guys, PLEASE cover tips and writing for DMing a Last Stand session! Like the 300 Spartans, 13 Assassin's, Dirty Dozen, And The Last Samurai

[@TheHammertime51]

My suggestion, make sure the players know that's the point. Good luck and have fun.

[@jakethayer5731]

“How is adventuring a profession” I personally see it no differently than people traversing the Oregon trail for gold and other shit all you need as an adventurer is one dragon horde and you’re the richest man in town

[@Goose_BW]

Is the horde of dragons a metaphor for the natives?

[@chadcaughmann7898]

@@Goose_BW - I’d assume more a metaphor for striking it rich with gold prospecting

[@AGrumpyPanda]

You also have gentleman adventurers, the rich prats who'd go join a war for 'the sport of it' or for glory, plunder, what have you.

[@DaDunge]

11:30 Or it breaks doing something truly impressive and you have to reforge it. Stronger than it has ever been before.

[@bowenmadden6122]

That reminds me of Caladbolg from Guild Wars 2! A legendary greatsword wielded by an NPC ally & inspired by Excalibur, it is at first lost and you must reclaim it. Much later in the story, it shatters after a dragon is slain, and the wielder perishes. The game then gives you a side quest to find the Shards and Dreams of Caladbolg, themselves hidden in pretty fun locations, and once you have them all you get to reforge Caladbolg in your image (whatever weapon type works for you, especially since not every class can use greatswords). I especially like how it has you fight the ghost/regrets of every wielder of Caladbolg-including your own. >:)

[@DaDunge]

Sounds cool.

[@kardellious]

There was a joke sword that made the magical effects and says things as if you were reading a comic. Every time you take it out it makes the ssssmmmm noise, you swing and hit it says slash if you miss it's whoooosh. When you stab it's "gck!" If the enemy misses your ac by one the dm would sometimes say you parried using your sword and hear a notable grunt sound of pain. It was the best. Like the I WARNED YOU staff

[@bakujahn6430]

Gladiolus Davis is something I didn’t know I needed

[@byzantinex]

I've thought about two weird magic items. 1) intelligent wand that dies when the last charge is used and no one knows how many charges are left 😁 2) gem powered items, when used it consumes a gem

[@Number1masksfan]

[@michaelmitchell8410]

[@brycethorne5482]

The gem in the sword with previous wielders’ souls contained inside it is from elfshadow and is the moonblade of one of the main characters. *spoiler*- It can summon the previous wielders to fight independently as one of its main abilities

[@sirpoopface1181]

So this brings me to connect to the idea within Shinto that making a sword was a sacred act, considered as much a ceremony as it was craft. That combined with the idea I got from you guys, I think anyway it's foggy right now, that a sword could be so well made that the craftsmanship would imbue it with magic. It could be cool to have these ideas manifest as craftsman imbuing initial traits into the magic swords they make it. Their consciousness being this focused while forming the blade over many hours and repeated, mindful actions would lead to it gaining sentience, folding their experience, perspectives, and awareness in with the folds of steel. Perhaps this level of focus, combined with the specific actions of craft could constitute a ritual. This would leave room for those initial building blocks to be fleshed out with experience, and connection with wielders. Which makes me think of recognizing the fluidity of their personality. Maybe it's not a cursed sword, it's just mad from being wielded by a fiend, and being forced into such atrocious acts that it is broken psychologically.

[@loganricard8713]

Honestly, I'd sell my soul to Asmodeus for the weapon in the thumbnail.

Awesome discussion that gave me a few ideas in dealing with heirloom items, how they came to be and why they might be better as time passes.

[@tsunamiditka5776]

I love the thumbnails for your videos. Always on point

[@mysticaloctopus8224]

In my current campaign, its very high level, and I gave each player a legendary item specifically tied to their character in some way - whether its a platinum fiddle of the bards taken from a devil, a medallion from a departed sister that turns into a suit of armor, or a hammer that harnesses the will of the people and forms an ashen sickle on its other end.

[@nLinggod]

About wearing trophies of your kills, I remember playing a Pale Knight whose bone armour was made of the bones of the people he killed. Made for some interesting conversations with paladins

[@muhammadanasal-afiqbinmohd5527]

16.46 As we recall the battle of bullshit mountain, it's all down hill from there.🤣🤣

[@MemphiStig]

yeah, arguing that the idea of professional (ie, paid) adventurers is non-functional from an irl perspective is a little, um, ignorant. much of the settled world was "discovered" by such types. Columbus, Lewis and Clark, and countless others risked their lives to explore the unknown, and were paid well for it, including being fully funded by their patrons. many of them suffered greatly along the way, and some came to their ends thru "death by misadventure." Not to mention the havoc they wreaked in their journeys, tho some were obviously better people than others, but they did much to shape the world as we know it, regardless of how history ultimately views them.

[@Mythrandil]

The notification for this video showed up when I was at work and when I saw the thumbnail I started laughing hard. Seeing Jims face holding a sword which just happened to be Pruitt with a big goofy smile made me lose it. My coworkers looked at me like some sort of weirdo. Keep it up guys!

[@alexdillahunt6908]

If I ever DM, I have an idea for a sentient sword I want to try. I call it the Blade of Steppenwolf. In the history of the world, there was an evil warrior named Steppenwolf. Steppenwolf reappears periodically throughout history as either a bandit or a warlord. Scholars speculate whether this is the same person with a supernaturally long lifespan or simply a title that is continually taken up by other for the status. No matter the case, each Steppenwolf is always reported to be wearing similar armor and wielding the Blade of Steppenwolf. In truth, the Blade of Steppenwolf is a sentient sword that slowly takes over its wielder until they are killed. Then it claims that the new owner has earned the right to wield it. It starts off relatively friendly and obedient, but begins to manipulate the wielder into acting how the sword wants. Eventually, the sword takes control of the body and that becomes the next iteration of Steppenwolf. tl;dr A sentient/parasitic sword possesses a string of hosts who each take on the same name and become a psuedo-mythic person in history, but nobody realizes it is actually the sword doing so.

[@FlaminTubbyToast]

I know Pruitt is a BFS (in the same vein as the BFG 9000) but my headcannon has him as the glove fists that the Dai Li from avatar use.

[@TakManSan]

I was playing in a low-magic campaign. My unusually-large warrior always yelled “Neck Biter” as he drew his sword, any sword. His sword which although well-made was in no way magical. He wielded it well and always HDYWTDT decapitated the foe triumphantly. His sword became as notorious as the wielder. Eventually he stared down a small warband, with just him and his horse. They didn’t know I had a talented archer in overwatch. Eventually he just dropped the name of his sword as he named himself. “I saw that you were following me. Perhaps you think I am afraid. I am Thorkel the Tall, wielder of Neck-Biter. You should not get in my way. My sword is thirsty. Your blood is young and thin. Go home.” While chewing an apple and feeding the core to his horse. He then stood in front of his horse, his sword worn with pride. He continued, to their leader, a Jarling at best, “I have survived many death blows. Odin Alfather has a plan for me. I know this. I have met a Valkyrie come to the battlefield. It was not my time although I was ready. Do you believe Odin kept me on Midgard to die to you?!” Chuckles, as they backed off and rode away.

[@GiblixStudio]

Heirloom... The mage's spellbook is actually a book that has been passed down in his family/house/clan etc. It houses the soul of an old/ancient predecessor. Imagine Dresden Files with the uncle attached to the skull. But now it part of the book. A snarky old bastard that makes spells available to the mage when...and IF he finds the PC worthy enough. A seemingly normal dwarven greataxe. However it houses the soul of an Azer that really hates Djinn. The soul is currently dormant, but once it gets strong enough it'll want to go after the Djinn. For their betrayal when building the Brass City. Allowing the Totem Barbarian, through pathworking, to receive dreams and such. Maybe even get some foreshadowing of occasional events. Over time revealing lettering on the axe. Providing more power to the barbarian in tiers. Such as a strong fire cone attack etc. To provide the barbarian with some ranged capacity as well. My PC went out to learn more about things as knowledge was gained. In some dungeons noticing tapestries which triggered memories from the Azer etc. The woodelf crafted her gear. The party was helping a western styled dwarven settlement which they defended against an orc raid. So they chased the retreating orcs back up the mountain to their stronghold. The journey took days and had to camp in a cave one night. A Phasepider attacked them and the druid had a cool kill. Then she rolled a nat20 to harvest its silky ethereal carapace and silk. She had to preserve it and when back in town created a new piece of shimmery cloth armor. Which lets her escape into the ethereal realm once per long rest. She also made a shield from a young black dragon decorated with teeth from giant wolves. Quite a cool imagery. But going through the books for ideas isn't bad. Especially if you got entire armory of magical items from the older editions. Just go through those books and you got tons of stuff. I enjoy 3.5's concept of magical stones that can be "Slotted" during a short rest. Each stone giving a certain effect from spiderclimb, a resistance type etc etc. And giving players the chance to just exchange it whenever they feel the need for it.

[@RyuuKageDesu]

At the beginning of the last campaign, I gave an intelligent sword to the fighter. At the end of that campaign, some soul swapping happened. Now, at the beginning of the next campaign, the fighter's body ran off with a different soul, and the character is now technically an intelligent weapon controlling a soulless warforged.

[@jemm113]

My samurai was cursed by the Muramasa that was sealed beneath his family manor in Kazokura. The spellplague and Sundering cracking the magic seals and causing the shrine to twist and warp to reveal the blade and leak its magic. After an intervention by the PCs confronting my character, Yoshi-Yoshi, about how his curse almost killed them multiple times, Yoshi relented and finally sat down to talk to and bargain with the sword, granting him some small sliver of extra power. Initially he was simply using the magic leaking from the sword and channeling through him as his warlock magic but now the two are more willing to strengthen each other: Yoshi feeds Muramasa blood, Muramasa gives me more magic and increasing access to its own magic powers directly! The plan is to transform Muramasa into a Nodachi/greatsword. I’d be like Sephiroth, but good! (wait a minute-)

[@Mike-oc3bn]

In my last campaign I had two PCs that had artifacts from the very beginning of the game, but they didn't know it until about midway through the campaign. Those two items were pivotal to unlocking a landmass that had been sealed away by magic from the rest of the world. This is a good video on the topic.

[@bmthehunter]

I just want the travel cloak (in magic of Faerun) for 3rd edition. Endure cold (like boots of the winterland). Rainproof. In one pocket you can pull out a flask that will produce 1 gallon of either cool water or warm sweetened tea. In the other pocket, 3/day you can pull out trail rations. 1/day can transform into a tent.

[@JBuckley1997]

@WebDM So what you guys are talking at like 11ish min into the video happens in a game called Legend of Dragoon you start the game off with super powerful item called a Dragoon Spirit and at one point towards the middle of the game it gets stolen and severely weakens the protagonist Dart. When his D. Spirit gets stolen it really makes Dart question whether or not he truly has the strength to stand with his friends or whether whatever strength he has is purely because he has had the D. Spirit for so long.

I've got a player who let me have control of his backstory. I decided to have fun :) Hey demo, if yur reading this imma spoil Jaul, so read at yur own risk He is the descendant of an intelligent magic item that was true polymorphed, he does not know this yet. I'm going to slowly give him abilities related to it, like getting barkskin during rage, immunity to cold damage, ability to read write and speak giantish. The works. He currently believes his family is cursed by the weapon because they stole it long ago, and then lost it. So his main character arc is finding out WTF happened to this magical axe.
