I suppose for the will of the talon, that's intended to be a more iron clad order, the tyrannical subjugation of Innocents, and the "decisive action" would be the disregard of those Innocents. Also, a devil would define "fair share" a little differently than a mortal would...

I have a different interpretation of the one that desires "a fair share of treasure in return". I think that means that since the character is a leader, makes decisions in battle, etc - it is only fair that they get a larger share of treasure than others. The "in return" is important - in payment for their leadership they get more in return.

The vestiges of divergence and the arms of the betrayers remind me very much of the codices in Strongholds and Followers, in that they cause individual players to have seriously overpowered items which can warp the expected capacity of the player. And they provide so much possibility for story. Check out the codices from Matt Colville if you can, they’re worth a look.

There’s a lot of potential that was sort of wasted in that one module... but the Will of the Talon and the Wreathe of he Prism could be the crux of an adventure set around Tiamat’s cult. Maybe the players have to use the Wreathe against the cult to stop some powerful adult dragon, or the Will of the Talon is the only weapon that can kill a powerful demon summoned by Tiamat’s followers that’s threatening the player’s home base.

This is an old video but I agree with the snake head whip. Whips have always been a really bad weapon to use in general because of how low the damage die is, and pairing that whip with poison damage (the most often resistant/immune damage) and tying it to a con save (the worst save to target) makes it the worse item on the list in my opinion. If it did at least an additional d4 per head it would be a little better.

@@agent00puffball it depends on definitions, and presumably if Matt will have either one evolve. Because if vestige/arm only relates to the calamity, then maybe not. but if it's just a weapon created by a god or for a god or whatever, I'd argue that they both fit that criteria. Even if uk'otoa isn't technically a "god" there's evidence that worship might be connected to attaining godly powers and uk'otoa is undoubtedly worshipped.

Sapient not sentient. How come no one gets the difference. Sentient means "feeling" as in can experience pain and pleasure. Sapient means capable of complex "thinking" are self aware. Humans are both. Animals are sentient but not sapient. The arms of the Betrayers can think for themselves but not feel anything, therefore they are sapient but not sentient. Or do I miss understand this. Do they just feel but not think? Like a dog trained to fight and kill, but as a weapon?
