[@MorningDusk7734]

My first campaign, session zero, my DM ended it with a reward safe with various items, including a random deck of cards. Everyone was freaking out, but I had an intuition, so I drew a card and threw it, and it turns out he created a magic deck (called a gambit's deck) which basically turns any thrown card into a dagger! Had it till the end of the campaign, and it saved me a few times. Also the only time I've used my gaming set: card proficiency (he let me use it to gain proficiency with the card attacks).

I will never forget one specific homebrew magic item that a green hag used in one of the campaigns I was in. My Ranger rolled a Nat 20 to identify the ring using Arcana, revealing instantly what it was -- the thing is, the hag appeared to us in the shape of a wholesome halfling grandma kind of character that we met earlier in the session when we visited her cottage. The effect of the ring? "You can take on the shape of the latest creature you killed within the last 24 hours". It broke my heart reading the card describing the effect of the magic item while everyone was waiting for me to explain what it does. It's not often a player gets to add to suspence with deafening *silence* .

One really hilarious thing I've seen once is during a Curse of Strahd campaign, during the final battle with Strahd, and Strahd was hovering and the party was more or less unable to reach him, then the Rogue shapeshifted into a Bat (its a long story), flew above Strahd, then shapeshifted back to normal, pulled out his Robe of Useful Items and SLAMMED A ROWBOAT INTO STRAHD'S FACE!

when I was playing a rogue my dm gave me a magic dagger that made no noise so you could throw it and if it hit something it wouldn't make a sound. Unfortunately, it also had the minor drawback of glowing bright blue all the time so it pretty much became useless for stealth. We later found out that the dm had simply neglected to mention the inscription on the hilt when we first found it that when read enabled or disabled the glowing allowing it to either be a silent weapon or a makeshift torch instead of less functional than a regular dagger. the entire table exclaimed 'wait. you can turn it off?!' when he haphazardly mentioned a glowing inscription about 6 sessions later.

The few times I've introduced a "wand of wonder" to a campaign, I always call it the "Staff of wonder" and describe it as a staff with multiple different screaming faces at the top. And if anyone ever guesses that it's the Wabbajack (in character or meta gaming), the staff will scream out CHEEEEEEESE, give an audible *pop* sound; and then immediately turn into a non-magical cheese wheel. This has happened once. The party was equal parts confused, peeved they lost the item, and laughing hysterically because the old man they got it from was now very clearly sheogorath just messing around in a game setting that had absolutely nothing to do with the elder scrolls series.

I had a street magician character in a game where most towns were trapped under anti-magic bubbles (fallout from a huge magic war). He used magician style tricks to imitate spells and the like in order to wow the crowds. The one main “spell” that got the crowds going was his ability to set his sword on fire. He had a set of homebrewed spark gloves (they had threads of flint and steel woven into the fingers, allowing him to create sparks by clicking his fingers) The scabbard of his sword was an oil scabbard, which coats your blade with oil... so he’d run his fingertips across the flat of the blade and cause it to ignite. In battle, my DM let me homebrew an action that, if I hit the opponent, I can use my bonus action to ignite the blade as it cuts into them, causing a further 2d8 fire damage (she likened it to a Paladin using Smite), but it could only be done once per short rest as I’d have to clean my sword and resharpen it so the fire didn’t damage it. Ergo, a makeshift Flametongue...

[@thundersheild926]

That is actually a really cool and interesting ability! reminds me of a cleric I played, Vistra, who used a homeruled heat metal on a specialized hammer to make the end glowing hot, and apply the damage effect to whoever she hit with it. This is, of course, super broken, but it was made up for the fact that she was a cleric with a wisdom of 7, so it all balanced out and made her a very fun fighty cleric. Also, I should add, balance was not at all a priority in this campaign, as demonstrated by out characters having an army of effectively killer drones (courtesy of Vistra, who was forge domain) and also the deck of many things making an appearance.

@@thundersheild926 (For some reason it YT didn't tell me you'd replied) That does make for an interesting question... Can you use Heat Metal on the head of a weapon that has a wooden handle, such as a warhammer or an axe, and not take damage as the wooden handle wouldn't heat up from the spell... OR if you were wearing forging gloves, would it negate/lower the damage you'd take from the superheated item, and use that weapon to deal extra damage to anything you hit it with, given that it's a concentration spell, etc. I will have to look into using this little combo move in the games I'm in.

Had a Grippli(frogman in pathfinder) Who had to be around water and used one of those to be able to adventure long distances. We ended up getting trapped in a sealed room with a hard BBEG. Was really fast and hard to hit...so i told the group to pull their crossbows and hold their breath and flooded the room. I ended up using some of my frost magic to freeze him in a huge chunk and reopened the bag to get the water back into it.

[@bright-vision8766]

I, as a DM wouldn't have allowed that, simply because an aimed attack with force behind it is different than just dropping a dagger randomly hoping it does something. I think I would have rolled a 6d20 to see how many hit with the blade side and that's how many d4 you get.

[@Femaiden]

i would have said the daggers fly in random directions, not only at the BBEG, but at the party. 126 attack rolls and each one would hit a random target. . . or use the "mob combat rules" and be like, "x amount of these automatically hit, now i'll roll randomly to see who they hit"

I gave my players two very simple homebrewed magic items: the glasses of appraisal and sending ink. You can see the prices of everything around you. That house is 15,000g, each plank is 5 silver, your rogue is worth 450,000g, etc. Then, sending ink that writes a message on the nearest paper to whomever it’s addressed to and can only fill 2 pages. They’re really neat, and a great addition if your players are trying to do a million things that aren’t always combat. A great drawback to the glasses is that they can cause intense disassociation and force the character to *only* see things and people as monetary value if they wear them for too long.

Pathfinder has good structure for character wealth by level, with no one item being worth more than half a character's total suggested wealth. So, a 5th level character should have no more than 10,500gp in a standard setting, with no one item being worth more than 5250gp. Combined this with Pathfinder's approach to bonuses of the same type not stacking, and it's a very balanced and pragmatic approach to loot. (ie; an Amulet of Deflection and a certain kind of Ioun Stone both give an "enhancement" type bonus to AC, so only one can be in effect at once)

[@dangerous1580]

@@FlatOnHisFace wizards can use scrolls to permanently gain that spell, thats the reason i think

[@FlatOnHisFace]

@@dangerous1580 That is a feature for a particular class (and some ritualists). If the DM is that worried about it, there are controls. Don't provide enough down time; cash; special inks; or whatever to scribe it. When you present the situation for that scroll to be useful, it might be used. If the player chooses to save it to scribe later, that's a player exercising agency. Also, can't scribe spells that aren't on your class list, so not really applicable to scrolls in general. More importantly, don't do this. Wizards scribing scrolls is a class feature. Characters of that class are expected to be able to do it. I've played in three long-term campaigns where the wizard never scribes anything new into the spell book because we simply don't discover appropriate scrolls, so they only ever got new spells on level-ups, like any other caster. Probably because the players never said anything, I think the DMs just over-looked it, and it likely wasn't a deliberate attempt to hamstring the class. But let the wizards have their fun. Their not sorcerers, for Peylor's sake.

[@asilnorahc8910]

I'm stealing that :) I don't even need to balance it that much, because in the campaign I play in, we have what we call "The Lottery Hat" that gives, once per day, each character who picks something inside, a random magical item from the list (it disappears at the end of the day, whether or not we used it); IRL we have a real cool hat full of little folded post-it notes so we physically pick things up, it's really fun and gives quite the 'thrill of gambling' except we don't really put us at risk, except when we pick something nasty (which isn't often). At first, the list was full of items from the book, their name coded so we players would only have the physical description, not their real name, so we'd have to either identify them in-game, or discover their effect as we use them and note it down so we'd remember if we later pick it up again. As the campaign went on though, we put in more homebrew items of our invention (most from the DM, but now the players too come up with ideas). I'll ask our DM to add The Insurance in! It's not that OP if people don't know what it is and don't manage to identify it. They'll only realise what it does when somebody makes the correlation between our thief's poor luck and the urn getting full of gold. And it'd disappear at the end of the day, and it might not be picked up again before quite some time... Also we're not very rich anyway, so getting showered in gold once in a while wouldn't harm. (Might be funny if the gold also disappeared at the end of the day... Maybe it does if it's not removed from the urn in time, or isn't spent in the alloted day. Or, maybe the gold doesn't just come from nowhere, so somewhere in the world there is a person, maybe the creator of the urn, who is very angry that their gold is disappearing from their treasure room and starts investigating - maybe by scrying on it and directly see us. Eventually if we use the urn too often, we'd get bounty hunters on us sent to make us pay our debt. Either with our lives or our service; doing a side quest to pay for the money of the Insurance, that'd be hellah fun...)
