Kobold Press makes amazing 5e content and the Midgard setting is so interesting. All their Creature Codex books make great monster alternatives to any game.

@billcox8870 2 года назад

After killing a Wyvern, I took the stinger back to town. I found someone who was able to work with the venom sack and made me 10 vials of poison that I could use on a weapon. Video games with crafting helped me come up with that idea. Players and DMS alike should feel free to draw inspiration on what to do from completely different games.

@drowningin 2 года назад

That's the first thing my son did when I taught him DnD we home brewed it almost completely. Made his own world, and used his love of Minecraft and Monster Hunter as inspiration. It was very crafting focused. With gear made from monster types etc. He took it to friends and started DMing for them with his game

@Yell0wCheese 2 года назад

simularly i was able to consentrate the poison into one arrow which gave me a single hit worth 7d6 dmg

Great review as always, Professor. I too love weird and wondrous items made from exotic materials with sometimes bizarre effects. I also love consumable yet potent items, especially potions and wands. Puts a bunch of power in the hands of the PCs but if they mismanage it, it can end badly….

As someone who tosses a good amount of magic items in their games this book is great. I picked it up some time back. Good stuff in it. Honestly, when it comes to Kobold Press you cant go wrong. They put out really good content. I would even say far better then what Wizards puts out.

@lestatjdr6882 2 года назад

On one hand, it looks fantastic and is bound to be a great source of inspiration, but on the other hand, it is so much content for something that doesn't come up that much (if ever !) in my games haha. I wonder about you as well Professor, since you don't seem to include magical items extensively in your own games.

@@cybrim1 precisely, and that's my point. Do we need to buy a very specific supplement, as polished as it might be, if only to use two or three entries from it ? That's why I tend to stay away from overly specific supplements, even quality ones.

@cybrim1 2 года назад

@@lestatjdr6882 unfortunately people forgot how to use their own imaginations... and that is why supplements like this exist. I'm okay with map collections, prebuilt encounters, adventure hooks, adventure sites, but not all the fluff, i often strip modules down from their original narrative, replace a few maps and encounters... take cyberpunk's "the apartment", throw it in a fantasy setting, replace corporations with guilds... and the PCs have a reason to go adventuring... because now they have enemies with resources!

This is my first purchase from Kobold Press. Having Professor and Sly Flourish as contributors help spur my purchase, but it is a FANTASTIC resource for magic item ideas. I like the mix of low powered and super powerful items. I love magic musical instruments and there is something for every DM in here and the production, writing, and art is on or above par with anything from WOTC. The only thing holding me back from buying the Kobold Press monster books is ... which one to get??

To my knowledge, Vault of Magic is the first 3rd party book I ever bought for D&D, because it reminded me of the 3.5 Magic Item Compendium, which was THE most important book to our party when we ran Pathfinder's Rise of the Runelords. I can't say I'm disappointed, a few items are even old friends.

The fact that most magic weapons and armor is D&D have a standard mechanic - +x to hit/dmg/AC - makes them so boring. I understand why this is so. Back in the Chainmail days a magic sword was just a die modifier to wargaming rules. But there are so many more interesting things you can do with them. Magic items are an opportunity for DMs to be creative and make the game interesting and fun. Start with minor powers and work up if you're concerned about balance.
