New Magic Items in Bigby's Glory of the Giants! | Nerd Immersion 

1:15 An Adze is actually a woodworking tool, usually used to remove bark from large logs. The method of use does seem similar to using a hoe, however. Just do it to a log and strip off the bark. And the Longbow of the Healing Hearth is almost the Ranger's bow from the D&D cartoon. :D

I’m a big fan of all of these items, but I’d have liked more common and uncommon additions for lower tier play for sure.

An adze was used by woodworker like a sideways axe., shipbuilders still use them.

imagine the bloodshed sword in the hands of a paladin. The amount of damage you could do would be nuts.

I'd like to call out the Stonebreaker's Breastplate. Note the description says "resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage," not "resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from non-magical sources." Meaning that wearing this breastplate renders you resistance to those damage types, even from powerful spells or magic weapons.

I would honestly love to see more magic flails.

the bracelet seems to refer that Bigby is/was a CONJURER wizard, conjuration spells and a more powerful version of the conjurer wizard Lv 2 ability

I would love to see artifacts that require attunement with an ultimate ability that un-attunes for d6 days or until the character succeeds in an attunement roll (based on a stat of the artifacts "choice"). I really liked the movies representation of attunement as a challenge. Also, a harp that breaks attunement whenever a performance check using it fails...

Bigby's Beneficent Bracelet - Force Sculpture gives you the Creation Bards 14th level ability. The best thing to use this for is you can create costly spell components for a longer time than a bard can create them. It even makes the "Awaken" spells 8 hour threshold. So you could over time make a small army of Tree Ents in the forest and become the great tree herder of the forest. Cast True ressurection without spending the 25,000 gp.

One correction, the wording on the whip says invoking the rune increases the fire damage by the whip to 2d6. So 1 time per day you spend your reaction for 1d6 extra damage.

Force sculpture won't make a visually identical replica, it's still transluscent. Of course, if what you need is to avoid triggering a pressure plate when you steal an idol in a templet... it will be the correct weight! Still I do think it's interesting, they mention a surface or liquid that can support it - and my immediate thought is you could copy a boat. Say you need to cross a lake, river, etc and don't own a boat and don't want to steal one. Just copy one, you can even copy a few so the whole party can cross without overfilling one. It might also work on keys, which should just need to have the right shape, and it should work on non-magical weapons if for some reason that were needed. You could also make some interesting traps by replicating some container, filling it with something dangerous, and dismissing it as an action to release the contents - or just have an 8 hour fuse on whatever it is. You could also just replicate a big rock or something to block something off. You could also use it to create some cover before a battle: just have a big steel plate and a way to prop it up, keep it in your portable hole. Before battle, you create up to three duplicates that are immune to all damage and place them where needed, put the original back in the hole. Honestly I think you could cheese the crap out of the damage immunity. What if you went into a room, took the door off its hinges, and replaced it with a duplicate with some other duplicated object barring it from opening. Now you have an impenetrable door that you can open easily, but nobody else without disintegrate can. The "you can create up to three copies" part doesn't say they are the same item, so you can create a set of items that work together like the door and the bar. Anyway, I think the fact that there's no just obvious perfect usecase is the whole advantage of the item - it's incredibly open-ended and abusable which makes should make it an absolute blast to play with.

I like the glowrune pigment but it should have the prerequisite of the user knowing giant since you need to write giant runes on the target

Dude I just wanna say thank you for going over all the books in depth. As a DM I am always looking for new ways to surprise and/or reward my players, so having you make all of it so much more consumable is a huge help. Keep it up my guy, imma keep watching😂✌🏽

Force sculpture could be used to copy keys and unlock doors

Those Wrymweaver gauntlets have Astral Monk written all over them. Good lord! 1d6 force is consistent damage output A couple rounds of setup, but invoking the runes in a pinch during a longer or multi part fight could be a turnover point.

I wasn't initially interested in this book at all because I felt fizbans missed it's mark. But now I'm going to pick this up for the Magic weapons that aren't swords

I always love new Artifacts because sometimes they're really easy to nerf to a Rare/Very Rare/Legendary Like the Bigby's Beneficent Bracelet. Get rid of the Properties, give the conjured item hit points instead of immunity, and nerf the free Bigby's Hand a bit and that's a solid non-broken item imo

Force Sculpture is a Large (10ft x 10ft) non-magical object that is immune to all damage. Make a wall/cube in a corridor if being chased?

One thing i felt was fun for Bigby's Beneficent Bracelet was to give it to a Barbarian so they could summon it before raging, they can use their bonus action to command the hand because theres no concentration to be maintained.

More magic bows! Most weapon enchantments don't apply to ranged weapons and too many magic bows are very rare and legendary. That's why my ultimate arcane archer build took 2 levels of artificer first. (To get cantrips I can use with my bow as an arcane focus and for the repeating shot infusion: which makes the longbow magical (+1) and has unlimited arrows) If there were lower level magic bows, I could focus on AA more.

Thanks for covering this. That's a great assortment definitely not what we're used to in one of these.

I just wished the dragon book had this many and quality of items

Force sculpture a door could be fun way to stop enemies from getting to you

Delver's Claws give blindsight, not tremorsense? Blindsight doesn't let you see through objects.

That is an AWESOME bow.

Mistral Mantle seems great for an Ashardalon's Stride build. Use tempest cleric and some metamagic to make it deal lightning damage. On your turn move around the battlefield knocking everything prone and pushing them around while dealing a bunch of damage, then ready an action to dash when one of the enemies stands up.

I'm giving my Barbarian player that Bloodshed Blade, that's so cool. It's perfect for Barbarians, it fits thematically and they generally have good constitution. And adding fricking d12s to attacks and damage is badass. Just remember: You only regain up to HALF your hit dice on a long rest - so your level eight Barbarian could use eight of them, but they only get 4 back when they rest.

An adze is a general labor tool depending on the material of the blade. Chopping and hewing wood is even possible with a good tip.

I’m really glad they are finally letting us use hit dice with magic items, and removing the concentration on these magic items, and I wish we’d finally get Psionics back in the game

I immediately loved the Bloodshed Blade and went to show it to my friends who play DnD. I run my own campaign naturally but play in one of theirs and wanted to use it. They told me in no uncertain terms could Bloodshed Blade exists as it currently does. Any ideas on how to fix it to make it "less" powerful?

crown of the wrathbringer on a barbarian??? USe the fear spell (battlecry) then rage and you can add d12 psychics sheesh thats epic

Force Sculpture's real potential comes, I think, in how far you can stretch the functional definition of object. Non-magical doesn't mean non-technological, and while claiming you've made a nuclear warhead is probably beyond the pale, a cannon is probably entirely fair. If your DM approves, say, a grandfather clock, then a clockwork battering ram should also be within reason. Think of how much tension you can get from a spring that's immune to all damage. An indestructible bowl with a 10' diameter may not have a lot of uses, but it can hold a 10' sphere that mimics the size and weight of osmium. That would be 334,764,592 pounds. The fun begins when you dismiss the bowl.

Damn that longbow would have been fantastic for my Bardlock (who the dm let me have longbow because she was a shrine maiden) as she was the main support in the party (her, a goblin druid, half orc barb, hobgoblin barb and human paladin was the party)

The harp of gilded plenty gives high level bards with 20 Charisma a minimum result of 18 on counterspell/dispel magic checks. I know the numbers are funnier with deception checks (minimum 27 is silly) but the ability to unfailingly block and remove up to 8th level spells with a 3rd level slot is wild. If you manage to increase your Charisma to 22, that's the ballgame. No Wish is safe.

The Pyrite Plesiosaur seems very powerful as an Uncommon magic item, especially compared to the rare Kyanite Pteranodon. I know flight is good but the plesiosaur can even be used more often.

I think an adze is a woodworkon tool

I might be wrong, but I'm wondering if the runes on these items can be used to activate the abilities from the Rune Shaper feat or the Rune Knight rune carver ability because both have a wording along the lines of "When you have a rune inscribed on an object you are wearing or carrying"

bro, for the force scuplture, ypu can trap someone before the combat starts, just drop a cage above then and get going

wait wait wait the force sculpture feature is super powerful! you can create wall of force essentially with this for free. the object is immune to damage. its translucent so you can teleport past it but otherwise you cant do anything about the wall in front of you except hope disintegrate or find a way around it.

15:48 it is to 2d6 not by 2d6, It's a diet Flame Tongue, that can only do the proper damage that type of weapon can do 1/day only saved from being terrible by the fact it's nonattunement.

The Ring of Amity makes me think they're slowly making Luz Noceda the best build in the game.

Im excited and surprised that have a unique magic firearm.

bloodshed blade with conquest paladin YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

You've misread the whip. It says raise the damage of the whip TO 2d6, not BY 2d6.

I really wish there were more uncomon ones cause alot of these are really kool but feels like they need to take this design and make some good uncomon stuff to.

Do not like swords? Give the ability to any weapon you like. A mace of sharpness might be a bit confusing though,

Claws should be temmursense not blindsense

Still waiting for my preorder copy

The Bloodshed Blade doesnt have anything on it that would stop it from being converted to something like a battle axe. Also Ring of Amity + Bloodshed Blade + Divine Smite or Sneak Attack, sounds like a pretty nasty combo to get hit with.

I believe that due to the wording of the Bloodshed Blade's rune, it does not double on a critical. "Spend and roll any number of your unspent Hit Dice and add the total rolled to the weapon's damage." This matches the wording of a handful of other things that do not technically add a die to your attack's hit, but instead has you roll the die to determine a total "flat" bonus added, and thus doesn't double on a crit.

An Adze is a tool for working wood, not earth

So rogue sneak attack + bloodshed blade + crit.

here a idea just change the sword part into a other weapon

Adze is a carveing tool

This is how many magic items should have been in Fizban's, granted I think the lack of Subclasses was a negative. It is like WotC simply refuse to make a good supplement. They want to ration content when content is only limited by imagination.

Did you ever do one of these videos for the Book of Many things? Looking for it I just struggled to find one, fair enough if you didn't given the amount of items in it.

Bloodshed Blade+Paladin=CritNuke (also Barbarian).

If a player has 20 con, tough and armor of safeguarding can we calculate the hp amount?

DDDDUUUUUDDDEE! Those Gauntlets? knocking a creature prone on a opportunity attack? Throw Sentinel in there and now every melee attacker has AUTO advantage! Okay sure it would rarely proc because of opportunity attack but come on...

Pathfinder content, please

Damn, I was the 68th like. Next person gets a treat

1st? 😮

almost all of those magic items are boring. i dont see how "you have more HP" or "you can cast this spell" or "you deal more damage" is unique.

A little disappointed in the item list, besides the paint and +hp armor there's nothing I wouldn't have just written myself.

I can see the wyrmreaver gauntlets being very interesting for a way of astral monk. You'd have basically 6 fists to use once you're at a higher level and fury of blows lol someone test this out.
