[@h-manandfriends9653]

The ceremony trick might work. The item says you cast a spell, It does not say you cast a spell without its material component

[@LucanVaris]

Soooo... about making a Staff of Hallow...

[@Riusnailly]

How does ceremony staff trick works? Why can you ignore casting time? Is it new rule in DMG?

[@LucanVaris]

@@Riusnailly From what's shown in the video, neither casting time nor material costs seem to be a requirement for putting a spell into the staff, or (more importantly) casting it _from_ the staff. It's broken.

[@Riusnailly]

@@LucanVaris In which ***rule*** is it stated?

[@1.21jiggawatts2]

Im pretty sure that the staff does follow normal casting times. It doesn’t mention “you can use an action to expend…” it just says you can expend. The new Cube of Force has the same wording and Shield is one of the options, which is a reaction spell, so the new meaning of “cast the spell” in the 2024 book most likely keeps the same casting times, potentially allowing you to use items as a reaction.

[@megablasters5]

Yeah that's how I read it too

[@kamehapa]

100%

[@nickm9102]

Typically it follows the casting time unless it specifically says a time. Most items that have spells with casting times over an action specify that you use an action. There is also a cleric item that allows you to cast a spell that is normally an action cast with a bonus action. This changes the spell from ok to one of the best spells to have.

[@jocelyngray6306]

That's my ruling, but I also won't allow people to cast from scrolls as a bonus action or reaction because unfurling a scroll and reading from it just doesn't feel like something that should be that fast and I don't want people having a bag of shield scrolls for next to nothing at high levels.

[@nickm9102]

@@jocelyngray6306 I understand the scroll thing, I would allow casting a scroll as a BA/reaction if they have the spell prepared then the scroll is more of a battery for the casting.

[@Transplantuwu]

Your dedication to the craft is admirable

[@kingdestroyah3204]

I suppose Pack Tactics should change his name to Craft Tactics now

[@DramakilzU]

I believe it’s implied that the spell-storing items use the casting time of the stored spell since it says “you cast its spell”.

[@nickm9102]

Unless it specifies a casting time it follows the spell times. Crafting means that all Wizards or EK fighters will be required to have arcana and Smith's tools proficiency as they will be expected to make all the PC's armor spell storing armor of shield, spell storing shield of absorb elements, and a spell storing weapon of booming blade. Just 450 GP and 25 days per person. No doubt that they will spring for the cart so you are crafting the whole day also. You are no longer an adventurer, you are a traveling enchanter.

[@jwmmitch]

Yeah, i thought it said "as an action ... use a charge ro cast" but (at least the text Kobold showed #NDA) it just says "while hiding.. you can cast" which seems interesting. Because it is a spell you know, then you would know the verbal & somatic components, but if i found an Enspelled staff my sorcerer didn't know, how would he know how to cast it through the staff?

[@TylerMc119]

You were ready to go as soon as that embargo lifted! Well done!!!

[@TrashJack3000]

At long last, my villainous dream will be realized with this new DMG's bastions and magic item crafting rules: I'll FINALLY be able to craft tons of Carpets of Flying, stitch them all together into one Mega-Carpet, and build a bastion on top of it, and thus have a permanently-flying, globe-travelling castle from which my wizard can rain down Fireballs and Meteor Swarms at whatever happens to annoy him, from anthills to entire nations.

[@Damianweibler]

Be careful. Flying Cities are very common in lots of settings...as the long buried remnants of ruined empires

[@RottenRogerDM]

Dm deploys swarm of moths. How high WAS your bastion?

[@jonathanbond5740]

I disagree with the "divine intervention moment." I think divine intervention skips casting time, because it says you cast the spell as a part of the action. These seem to just say you cast the spell, which would presumably mean you'd have to take the magic action on subsequent turns. I'm not entirely sure though, but I just think that the wording being different is pertinent. Thanks for the video! I'll share this with my current players so they can get a head start on crafting if they wish.

[@PackTactics]

Crafting is insanely good now! I highly recommend they look into it because this is biiiig stuff!

[@verdurite]

As a dm I would also rule it like that anyways. Way too broken to ignore casting times

[@TheSilverOrn]

@@verdurite I would rule that it either allows you to cast the spell which would follow the rules of the spell, IE Reaction, Action, or casting time, OR it allows you to insta-cast that ability but its a level higher and its once per day/week instead.

[@xolotltolox7626]

@@jonathanbond5740 if only they weren't so incessant on natural language and instead wrote rules like rules instead

[@josukex42]

RAW [divine intervention] doesn't skips casting time. everyone has misread the text divine intervention. It uses the magic action to chose any spell that not a reaction to get around if the spell isn't prepared then as part of the same action it ignores spell slot and components to cast the spell never ignoring casting time. with Magic Items you are correct and that this the proper ruling

[@gyletre675]

With the new rules, both the cleric and druid get an ability at lvl 1 to add wisdom proficiency to arcana and another skill. Since they aren't the same feature, they should stack, meaning you can get expertise + int + 2*wis modifier to the mizzmage build. At level 9 with 1 lvl cleric, 4 lvls druid and 4 lvls wizard, you can get an 18 int and 18 wis, and as the new wizard gets expertise in a int skill of their choice. That means you get expertise (+8), int mod (+4), 2*wis mod (+8) for a total of +20 to all arcana checks. Combined with the dragon form of the stars druid, this means you cannot roll less than 30 on arcana checks. That allows you to cast all spells without a chance to miscast, as the 9-th level spells (which you cannot cast yet) still only require a arcana DC of 28. You won't even need the starry form for any of the spells you can cast, as the difficulty for 5th lvl spells is 20, and you cannot get lower than a 21. at lvl 17, if you only focus on getting ASIs you can get a +27 to arcana at lvl 17, meaning you don't need the dragon starry form at all, as a nat 1 still adds up to 28. Even if you say that you cannot stack the druid and cleric wisdom modifiers to the arcana check, you still only remove a single wisdom mod, meaning you still make all your checks easily with the starry form.

[@margaretmyklebust2577]

Good job Kobold! You are really on the ball with this one.

[@Tomha]

It's pretty cool they added the cartoons weapons. Erics shield sounds real nice.

[@seankane9508]

The bow sounds similar to Taumaril (Sp?), Cattie Brie's bow.

[@DarwinAwardWinner]

The Energy Bow's ladder feature is also good for lighting up a 100-foot long area along a wall. As far as I can tell, this mode is the only one that actually lets the light stick around for more than a moment (other than drawing the bow and not firing it, I suppose.)

[@guardiantree8879]

A land druid that makes their own magic staffs to select those certain s tier spells from each land type would be kinda useful. They could still fireball as a temperate, polar or tropical land druid.

[@DarwinAwardWinner]

The Acrobatic Assist feature of the QuarterStaff of the Acrobat reminded me of something: I kind of don't like "static advantage" features that just always give you advantage on certain D20 tests, because it makes the special circumstances of the current situation mostly irrelevant. There's no incentive to look for some situational advantage to make the check easier, because you already have advantage by default and it doesn't stack. And that makes things less interactive and less interesting. I think I would prefer if static advantage features like this were replaced with numerical bonuses, even if the numerical bonus is actually less impactful than advantage.

[@1.21jiggawatts2]

Playing high level Artificer is going to be so much fun now. At 10th level, that Wand of Cure Wounds you talked about only takes 20 hours and 100 gold when working alone and only 10 hours (or just a little over a day) if you get someone to help you.

[@1.21jiggawatts2]

Kinda sad that Oathbreaker got removed. It would have been cool to get an Oath breaking system (as well as maybe a pact broken Warlock and faith loss Cleric). Oathbreaker is such a cool idea and makes a lot of sense, but the subclass wasn’t well designed to fit the concept. Like what does boosting the damage of undead have to do with breaking an oath where you devoted your soul or swore revenge. I was really hoping for some customizable system where your oath breaker paladin’s new abilities related to that oath they broke, but I guess Oathbreaker is just gone now.

[@TerminalDevastation]

Putting aside that the old oathbreaker is still usable... I love the concept of oathbreaker getting a system that varies based on what oath was broken, and it should be done that way... but it probably needs its own supplement dedicated to it and adjacent features (oathbreaker monster statblocks and such) due to how involved doing that would be, especially since it'd have to be designed with a bit of future proofing. I also sort of feel like making it a Warlock subclass might be a good option for it? Like one specifically designed to work with multi classing with Paladin. Like maybe its first features treats Paladin levels as Warlock levels for Invocations, and always changes radiant damage to a different type based on "patron" and inverts a bunch of other paladin features, just right off the bat.

[@michaeldejean3742]

The oath breaker is only for Paladins who have devoted themselves to evil, not to revenge. If you break your oath to swear revenge, you become an oath of vengeance

[@GravityAP]

I’m not so convinced we spelled staff works like that. It says you cast the spell but nothing about altering casting time to a magic action so normal cast should still apply.

[@jonathanschneider8876]

Im going to get a plushie as the mascot for my schools dnd club that I run. Thanks for designing this!

[@Psuedo-Nim]

D&D DMG: Handing out treasure and magic items must be done in a careful way to keep a game balanced. Also D&D DMG: Here is a crafting system where players can easily make magic items throwing balance out the window unless the DM denies or heavily restricts crafting.

[@ardet7383]

Costs gold and materials, both are also given by the dm

[@Psuedo-Nim]

@@ardet7383 the DM will have to work hard to keep the players penniless enough for them not to craft without taking most rewards of frustrating players with other goals--like Bastions. (Which look like they might become magic factories) Materials--the savior is requiring exotic materials for every magic item. Example: Wand of Lighting Bolts: Wood from the core of an oak tree struck by natural lighting. Only one wand per tree.

[@enderking6904]

Also requires time, which is given by the dm

@@enderking6904 the DM cant deny time. the players just say their characters stop for a week or two to craft. Unless you just constantly attack the players. 16 hours a day or something. Wait, make that 20, elves trance gives this extra time to craft.

Man now I *really* want a new updated Artificer cause I feel like they could do some fun things by giving them more abilities based around these new item crafting rules. I mean hell they basically took the artificer's 11th level ability and just made it a type of magic item you can just make now.

[@UltimateMustacheX]

I'm disappointed it seems limited to weapons/armor/staves. My artificer would likely want to make other items (amulets, cloaks, boots, etc.) They even had the table showing what tools make what base item to use for other magic items, so I see no reason you can't use those bases to enspell.

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

Two elves get in a solid day's work (2x4hrs) every single trance-nap compared to others. Just whittling away at all the wands. Or potions. Or scrolls. That extra 4hrs is really going to add up to a nice kit eventually. Oh, and the animated broom could grapple you, which you could choose to fail the save on, and it can then move you at 1/2 speed assuming you're under 150lbs. That's still a 25' speed Flying Broom, just with extra steps.

[@BObako]

Pretty sure that the items do follow normal casting time given it says you expend the charge to cast the spell. It doesn't say as a magic action or as a bonus action so its safe to assume it does follow normal casting time.

Hey kobold. When you deal damage with a weapon attack, you aways add the same modifier that you used for the attack to the damage. This is a general rule. So bards using that weird lute that changes their attack modifier from Strength to Charisma will also add Charisma instead of Strength to their damage

I was really on the fence about Thief rogue being OP in most campaigns... but now we can craft staves. This, especially if combined with Bastions, starts to make them look REAL GOOD. I think we're gonna see a LOT of 3-level Thief rogue dips in optimized builds in the future, and I venture that many parties will easily accommodate two Thief rogues dips. Great video, thanks as always!

[@XanderMander006]

[@aimerw]

@PackTactics Can you confirm the only way to get Tool proficiencies is the background (and Feat, which comes from the background)? Appears if so then all magic item crafting has to go through the Artisan background (or custom).

[@droolhd]

Excited to see what you share with us next! Crafting seems super strong now.

[@Jasta85]

The crafting time is the killer part, you basically needs to have months of downtime between adventures. Some of my campaigns take place within like a 1-2 week time period, you'd miss out on half the adventure trying to craft a single common item.

[@brilobox2]

In that case…you probably wouldn’t really be in a position to craft anything complex. You could allow everyone one chance to craft a single item over maybe 2-3 days.

[@z-leigh6554]

Do you have to attune weapons and staffs enchanted with spells? Which wands if any require attunement? (I know wand of webs does, but it seems like wand of magic missles doesn't as shown in the video) Can you make wands of other spells, or only ones listed? If you don't need attunement that opens up a lot of things. (also, does an enchanted staff work as a spellcasting focus?) For instance, with lower level spells, your to hit and save dcs change, but your healing from healing spells don't. Carry around a few wands and then everyone's a healer. Alternatively, a druid or even anyone with wands of spike growth or another spell that doesn't really scale with spellcasting modifiers could be amazing. Mirage arcane seems like a standout option. Other note, can you cast a ritual version of a spell with a staff (ie. plant growth) or a focus spell (wall of stone)? I really need to look into magic item rules. Edit: knives and slingshots likely can't be given healing spells. (I think)

[@mrinfinity5557]

7:41 that armor just makes me think about the shadow blade spell for a fighter or other martial character. Like yeah, it takes 50 days worth of work, but can you imagine during a boss fight the fighter suddenly gets a 2d8 light and finesse weapon? That's 4d8+8/10 damage a turn at tier 2, 6d8 at tier 3. And they get to use a shield with it. Imagine being a champion fighter half elf with elven accuracy, or you have a scimitar with nick property instead of a shield. Thats definitely where my mind goes to

[@CompetentConquest]

[@SolnerV2]

Wait so if I’m looking at this right, a weapon infused with any paladin’s smite spell would let them smite a lot more often! Sure it can’t be upcasted, but that is still a lot of damage that wouldn’t need spell slots expended and no reason multiple weapons with smites couldn’t be made.

[@pedrostormrage]

Looks like the Artificer dip became even better for Wizards than it already was (since the class can give you proficiency with Woodcarver's Tools, which you can use to make wands). And (finally) seeing how the Hat of Many Spells work, I think it's safe to say Presto (from the D&D cartoon) didn't have proficiency in Arcana 🧙

[@goldlink567]

The Crafter Origin feat might actually be very useful as well, cutting the gold cost to make everything by 20%, basically like you know the correct suppliers to buy the raw materials from. But that only matters depending on how much gold your DM gives out. Maybe the new DMG gives suggestions on how much gold to give out at what levels, if it is I hope it gets touched on in your up incoming Crafting video. Also using Grim Hollow's "Adroit Crafter" feat you can half the production time of any item you craft, which is homebrew but is partnered with WotC like Humblewood and Critical Role's Tal'Dorei Reborn as far as I can tell. So it should probably be talked about with as much consideration as people give stuff like Blood Hunter, which is to mention it and then ignore it, sadly. I'm also excited for a Bastion video, as it'd probably cover how you can make your sla- I mean hirelings craft magic items, possibly being able to create your own magic item shop or be a supplier of magic items to shops. That second one would probably be much easier to manage at the cost of selling them slightly below market price. Materials cost 50% of Market Price, sell it to either a consumer for 100% value getting 50%, or sell to a store for probably 80% (like the crafter feat) it's Market Value making 30% profit per item minus the labor of your sl- hirelings and tax. Being a supplier is easier. Making and giving your s- hirelings Enspelled Staffs or Hammers of Fabricate would also speed up the production of Mundane items by a lot. 1 slave could make 5 sets of Plate Armor in a day as long as you have the materials. I mean hirelings. A Blacksmith Hireling could use a Fabricate Hammer to easily out pace the mundane method of making mundane items.

[@xiongray]

8:00 - "Making a magic weapon that has, I don't know, let's go with Cure Wounds again-." I do believe Cure Woulds school of magic has changed from Evocation --> Abjuration. One of the three schools that can't be Enspelled Weapon: Illusion, Enchantment, Abjuration. (But works for Enspelled Armor & Enspelled Staff.) But I get your drift. 8:33 - Doesn’t follow normal casting time, also doesn't use a Spell Slot. Spams six Spells in a turn with a simple magic item.

[@jocelyngray6306]

in 3E, spell casting items that had a costly material component had their value increased by a factor of the material component cost. Single use items' value was increased by 1x the material component, unlimited items were 100x the material component cost, daily limit items were 50x the material component cost, and charged items were multiplied by the number of charges. I'd never let someone make a ceremony staff for 400 gold and then pump out 3.5 holy waters a day. But I also wouldn't require ceremony to be cast to make holy water. Getting an NPC to cast a 1st level spell for you costs 50gp, and Holy Waters cost 25gp, so I'd have a cantrip that lets you use 25gp of silver dust to turn a vial of water into holy water.

[@LocalMaple]

Quick question. Let’s say I want to make a Staff of Healing Word, to be cast as a Bonus Action. Can I make a level 1 version, then subtract that time to craft a level 2 version, and so on? Or must the spell be the base level, or the level at which you craft from the start?

[@michaeldejean3742]

The way I’ve read it is that if you make a staff of level 1 healing word, you would then have to create a separate staff of level 2 healing word

[@thief05]

7:50 Enspelled Weapon says it requires attunement by a spell caster. If that’s accurate then I don’t think Thieves can use the True Strike bow without multiclassing because Magic Initiate doesn’t give you the Spellcasting feature. I think only a character class gives that. Unless the book just uses “spellcaster” as a loosy goosy description?

Devious players are looking up how many pints of blood in a human body they need to transform to make an NPC pass out or die. 10:43 Personally I don't allow this because one of my Session Zero rules is anything with stats can't have these types of spells cast in their personal space bubble unless it explicitly says it can target creatures. IE "the air in their lungs" or "the air around their head" is part of the creature, so you can't turn it to water.

[@darmorel549]

Blood that is still warm would 100% class as a poison if you were to consume it. Shoot, even blood that been prep in a way to remove any pathogens can be considered a posion, do to it giving iron poisoning if you consume to much of it. (Note, some blood is fine since if it wasn't we wouldn't really be able to eat meat. But there is an upset limit, and it a lot lower then one would initially think, being slightly abo a quarter cup 'daily' an upset limit before running into problems, and that before accounting for other iron sources in diats). Add the fact that blood can been seen as magical and there is no real argument that the bead should work on blood.

Is there some unshown exception in the DMG for scrolls or is it presenting an alternative ruleset? PHB 223 also requires the Herbalism Kit to craft Potions of Healing (no ability to do it with Alchemist's Supplies) - are the basic Potions of Healing an exception to the potions allowed by Alchemist's Supplies, or (again) is it an alternative ruleset?

How do you think a spell glyph option will work with an enspelled staff of glyph of warding?

[@nadirku]

I was hoping we could see some magic items designed to supplement the updates to Two-Weapon fighting, like a Shortsword, and Scimitar that take 1 attunement slot between them, and have benefits based on dual wielding them, so I am a bit sad we are missing out on that.

Does every potion take just a bonus action to consume?

[@frogmeister2407]

Given the new assistants rule, I wonder if I could use Unseen Servant to cut down on the time necessary?

[@slaplapdog]

Or maybe a familiar?

[@hrayz]

The assistant must have the Tool Training (and Arcana if a magic Item.)

I genuinely want an artificer subclass that has what I would say in practical terms have a ribbon feature for siege weapons, but if embraced, would actually be useful.

Quarter staff of the acrobat is giving me sun wukong vibes either acrobatics and growing weapon. Also reaction shield could be great for barbarian.

Can't wait for my party to not read anything and I have to explain everything to them as always (I actually don't mind as its only one time, we having fun!) Also my players are gonna love crafting a bunch of BS effects into weapons, can't wait to see the sword of find traps. Where the sword always says there are traps around because of itself!

[@ThirtytwoJ]

i agree. nothing like the axe wielding dwarf barb whipping up a catapult to relieve the cowards of their gates and walls. ..or just fling yourself and open the door when youre done making a mess. ..man i miss Dark Age of Camelot.

When multiple people work on one item. Do they all need to meet the requirements, or does one need to meet all, or can you split the requirments - so arcana, tools and spells prepared?

[@PackTactics]

Both need to have the same tool and arcana prof. They don't need to know the spell. So a normal Ranger with woodcarvers tools can help the wizard make a wand of magic missile.

[@Coopernicuss]

Do all potions take a bonus action to drink now?

[@spacespector]

So can bastion minions keep stuff in production?

[@chernobog4099]

I wonder if playing a class like Forge Cleric can reduce the time to craft metal items, given they can channel divinity and short rest multiple times in a day?

[@mammonclarke]

The animated broom is really cool. It almost TPKed our entire party in the death house at the start of Curse of Strahd. Can you imagine 5 players all getting wiped out by a broom? We only survived by eventually locking it in a closet. The entire party was rolling 1's and 2's on our attack rolls. While the damn broom kept rolling 19's and 20's. It would have gone down as the single most pathetic campaign of all time.

“This Enspelled Sword of Revivify you sold me is defective. It doesn’t kill worth a darn!”

[@slaplapdog]

I want a lance that lets me cast Find Steed, but the armor of Shield is the gift that keeps on giving.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Finally a Bardbarian who doesn't need STR!

[@Damianweibler]

I have a monk who wears a silver tiara and squirrel slippers. He will be very pleased to be forced to carry around a kobold plushie for advantage on attacks

[@SunLovinSolaire]

For the sake of saving gold early game, I still think it's worth it to craft mundane items. And by the time you get to level 7, if you're playing a caster with access to Fabricate, then I believe it remains worth it into the later game.
