The Horn doesn't require consent. Say I buy, 5-6 after some searching. I pick one Noble I want to lose face. Horns randomly going off during conversations and all night.
8:30 My character was trained in Cook's Utensils and would use Chest of Preserving found in Season 8 of Adventurer's League to store sauces made when he had a full kitchen that were needed for a good meal on the road (in the dungeon of the mad mage). Example cilantro-jalapeño sauce to put on spiced chicken: Combine mayonnaise, ½ tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of olive oil, minced roasted garlic and finely chopped jalapeño, and ½ of a juiced lime. Add some cilantro (roughly chop all the leaves and stems before adding) and season with S&P
Saffron is extremely expensive. The spice pouch never gives a duration or needed use for the spice. Also, white truffle? If you wanted to go that route, it's a cash cow.
It's worth remembering that truffles were once not considered a valuable food. More like pig feed. I think saffron has always been considered valuable but to what degree idk.
Quantity = enough to season a single meal. Salt probably 2 tablespoons max. Saffron would be one or two single threads (flower stamens), since it is a super powerful flavor and that’s how much chefs use for a whole recipe. And only 10 magic uses? Yeah in the Capital you could supply the Royal chef with a few gold worth, max. Best one use? Probably pepper or cayenne to stop a whole company of troops from coming down the tunnels after you...
@@ChateauLonLon it can, based on your house rules. Not exactly D&D canon but out of game some monster myths say salt is a ward. If so, clerics can take a pouch of rock salt everywhere...
I just love the fact that many of the common magic items found in XGtE can inspire players to recreate their own version of the wheelbarrow scene from The Princess Bride. 😂
I dont remember what its called. But the spellbook from xanathars is basically a Spellbook of Plot Armor So your dm cant get it wet or burn it or random bs that can get your wizard in trouble
It's called the Enduring Spellbook. And it should be kept in mind that it's only protected from fire, water and aging. So a DM could still pull some shenanigans with it.
@@karpmageddon4155 My schollerly diviner wizard would want this as a backup spellbook. If possible, he would entrust it to a steal dragon to guard, as part of its hoard; with the arangment that the wizard would be allowed to borrow it back from time to time, to uptate it, or copy it if he lost his other spellbook. Evetually, the steal dragon will donate his/her hoard at random, in order to pass on the wisdom the items in the hoard represent; witch is somthing my perticular wizard is all for!
Karpmageddon These are the two biggest threats to a Spellbook and a plot convenience fireball/fire spells , jumping in sewer water and then well having an excuse for PCs to find a dead wizards book years later.
@@karpmageddon4155 Yeah, like having the big bad use a wish spell to have every spellbook your wizard picks up crumble into ash because animate dead is overpowered.
The hat of wizardry and the similar warlock shard that can be used as a wearable focus that allows you a chance at casting any cantrip can be OP in the right caster's hands. It's the cantrip version of a wish spell. Most utility cantrips barely get used more than once a day as it is but when there is a use for them they're very useful. Now once a day you have all the cantrips. That's nuts!
The Clockwork amulet is by far my favorite common magic item. Honestly if you made it work on a short rest or 3/day, you could give it out as an uncommon reward
Hi, im a brand new DM (I'd never played dnd before and jumped straight into DMing a party of also new people) and now that my party is getting into plot and are getting some levels this kind of stuff really helps me to think of new things to drop them to improve gameplay. Thank you a lot
I like the idea of a young caster getting the wand from a master it starts as an imbued wood wand but as you level it becomes a wand of the war wizard or rod of the pact keeper
The Cloak of Billowing will always be one of my favorite magic items. Combine it with the Dread Helm, Glamerweave, and the Thaumaturgy cantrip, and you've got yourself one hell of an intimidating character. Don't forget to throw in a badass theme for further intimidation: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rm5yKO8VDwQ.html
Get a Chest of Preserving Go to a frozen lake and harvest the ice Go to a desert Sell the ice Profit (bonus if they don't have cold related spells) (Btw, make your chest of Preserving look like a cooler, would be nice :P)
My DM incentivizes cooking based RP and abilities by offering benefits: 1. during a long rest consuming a meal prepared by a party member allows everyone who partakes to roll an extra hit die 2. A meal prepared by an individual allows everyone to roll an extra hit die + the proficiency bonus of the character that prepared it 3. A character may cook a meal with the intent of alleviating symptoms from a disease, the character makes a wisdom (medicine) check and, if they are proficient with cooking utensils, add their proficiency bonus and double it if they are proficient in medicine and cooking utensils.
I really appreciate that your list has niche items that you enjoy instead of items that 'break the game'. Like I'd actually give my players any of these items, but there's no way i'd dish out an immovable rod.
The Ruby of the Warmage doesn't seem very powerful at first glance, but... rules-as-written, it's much more useful than you'd think, especially for a multiclassing spellcaster. Or a half-caster that normally can't use a focus. See, it _doesn't specify_ it turns the weapon it's attached to into a Spellcasting Focus of any specific type; it's not an Arcane Focus, Holy Symbol, Druidic Focus, musical instrument, or Artisan Tool. It's something else, that any spellcaster can use. _Any_ spellcaster. Even half-casters that don't have a Focus feature. And that _also_ means that a multiclassing spellcaster can use it for _all_ their spells. As an example: A Bard/Paladin/Sorcerer would normally just use a Component Pouch because they'd otherwise need to juggle three different Foci. With a Ruby of the Warmage, they can instead use the weapon with the Ruby attached to it, regardless of what class list the spell they're casting comes from. And all this in an item designed to simply combine a weapon and a focus into a single object.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to give my players more magic items. They seem to care more about the cosmetic aspect than powerful items that deal damage
Continual flame is a great spell to add awesome effects to equipment. I had a forge cleric with a mundane shield that looked like it was constantly on fire. I've also used it to make a paladin look scarier
Continual flame & light are perfect for starting a lamp business. Considering spell cost though, only rich emperors might be able to afford many. Primitive villages might adore a flame from which to restart all their fires...
@@michealnelson5179 if you really wanna get into realistic physics in a fantasy setting continual flame would not light other fires as it gives off no heat.
Heck yeah, modrons! I love the lore they've added that involves Primus in major events and occurrences in the multiverse at large, like the Slaadi and the Ruby Rod. I've met people that assume he is weak cause of the whole Orcus killing him thing back in previous editions. Had to remind them that he did so with a spell designed to kill GODS.
I gave an instrument of illusion to a player once and she loved it. My players all worked together to build tiny sets for her to put on shows. It was beautiful.
I've got a changeling bard with glamor armor, so they're basically great at espionage. Though shes a literal child and would never do something like that because she's precious.
Darkness dispels Continual Flame too. Also, Powder of chocking and Sneezing, after correctly identify it; just Catapult to enemies, so you are out of the 30 ft. range.
Horn of Alarm is the perfect spiteful neighbor tool. Sound that loud mf every night at 4am and when they complain everyone will think they are nuts. Orb of shielding is a must for a Zealot barb.
I wonder if the imbued wood items +1 damage stacks and/or made stronger if it is turned into a magic wand, rod or staff I remember elemental damage-dealing items from 3.5E that added +1D6 ... they were fairly common in 3.5E and favorite items among players.
Well, salt was quite expensive back in the day, so the spice bag seems OP gold wise (also good for survival campaigns and maybe even interrogation). Also, the horn plus the Linguist feat could work, as you could teach "Morse" to others, and now you have Message without magic (or maybe not)
I have some suggestions: How about a video on character backgrounds, ideas and memorable things, and ways to have two or more PCs share some history before the campaign. How important are multi-session long side quests and how impactful should they be? Dealing with PC death, when to revive and when to move on Crafting systems that the PCs can use to generate income would be an interesting watch. That's it for now. The countdown was a little cheesy but I enjoyed watching. Interesting choices, for sure.
Mystery Key ... I gave my players something quite similar in a 4E game: Mystic Thieves Tools ... property: anyone trained in thievery gains +1D6 to find traps, disable traps or open locks with this toolset Encounter, reaction (rolling a natural 1 or 20 on a skill check that Mystic Tools give +1D6): treat the 1 as a 20 and roll an extra +1D6 PS, remember that a nat 20 doesn't mean automatic success vs impossible DCs, but it will ensure the best *possible* outcome
There’s a new common item in the Witchlight book called Minor Wish Stone. It requires attunement and lets you cast ANY 1st level spell before crumbling to dust. Much like a Spellwrought Tattoo it allows any character to get a Familiar (especially if there’s an Artificer who can make a free infusion each morning). The advantage to this is that it gives some extra versatility for the small inconvenience of waiting after a short rest to attune to it. If you can spare the attunement (primarily at low levels) that means Cure Wounds on a Sorcerer/Wizard, Shield on a Druid or Martial class, Disguise Self on a non-Arcane Trickster Rogue, etc. but you can also instead decide to use an evocation if you need some extra damage, Faerie Fire if there’s an unexpected invisible enemy, etc. You can choose what spell you want to cast as you need it, not when you finish a long rest.
that silent horn would be great to discredit some sort of enemy comander. Everytime you blow it they might believe theyre under attack. Blow it several times and you know, Peter and the wolf.
I'm shocked that the Moon-touched Sword didn't make the list. A magic weapon really helps when dealing with creatures that are otherwise immune/resistant. Another great one that I was surprised to not see is the Ruby of the War Mage, which makes any weapon into a spell focus, giving a focus to the EK Fighter, the AT Rogue, and the Ranger for the first time. Great for a sword and board or dual wielder.
I've been looking for something fun but useful to give to my low level party. Number 6 is perfect! I already have an encounter planned using a horn so now it's just not gonna make any noticeable noise when used against them! Thank you thank you
So I have been thinking about home brewing common magic. Some ideas are a endless quiver of 1Hp + dex damage arrows. Think summer camp. Rings of sparring, - to damage and a buff to XP. Along with utility items once a day pot that will heat up and boil. No fire or smoke good for dungeons or camping.
On the one hand, mundane items are very expensive magic? Other hand, imagine a wizard sponsor trying to send out the adventurers to gather knowledge of the world, build a library of Alexandria, or gather intel on the crowns behalf... They might make a wagonload of handy adventuring gear for the party... Past such builds would of course be found as loot, implying those parties died? Imagine the players finding a whole dead party of the past. Plenty of rusted gear, but a few useable items, especially Magic’s.
I think one you might have over looked is the is the pot of awaking it is fun to make an awakened shrub companion. I one game i as a DM what would happen if I planted a good berry in the pot. He let me grow a good berry bush that would bloom of a morning and we named him Berry and we made him our side kick/my my familiar in reverse. I am an Arcane Trickster so a familiar is cool but i sneak so much better then him. So i made a magic item the cloak of rodents it is a patchwork cloak with a class of a bat caring a mouse it would let me change into a bat or a mouse. Also what i changed forms Berry would grow an odd fruit that was translucence and the size of a small watermelon that would invert the familiar sharing senses.
glamour weave can be used as a temporary "writing" canvas if you need to write something down but don't need it to be permanent just make the equation on your cloak (if your allowed to command it I'm not sure if one can)
I'd like to throw out a correction; the Instrument of Illusion isn't the only Bard specific item. There's also the Instruments of the Bards, on page 176 of the DMG. Just wanted to throw that out there.
@@NerdImmersion Well, I play a lot of Bards, so it's fairly relevant to me. And to be fair, they don't have a lot else going for them in the way of magic items for them specifically.
Remember that time you tried to fight the bar owner and had 1HP and at the end you punched yourself in the stomach to barf on the owner knocking yourself out and it was 8 beers before getting drunk that was my frist day of d&d
Bruh you where saying about the instrument making illusions and here I am thinking of a wood elf making snow fog or any other natural weather effect to hide in plain sight
@@NerdImmersion Eberron Rising from the Last War, Explorers guide to Wildmount, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, and Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything all have come out with new common magic items since this video was last made. Most of the eberron ones were reprints tho, so maybe it doesn’t warrant a new videos. With only 6 new all together from the other 3 published books. Sorry to bother you I realize my error after I looked at my notes on the previous books. Still your list surprised me, not to say it isn’t still quite good though. I throughly enjoyed the video. But I for sure thought the cartographer’s map case with its adventure sparking contents would be on the list, or the cleansing stone as an almost portable dry cleaner that makes the party fresher and cleaner than most nobles at the end of a long day would be on the list. Also the Pipe of remembrance to show in smoke the greatest accomplishments of the bearer and their mighty party. Or the staff of flowers to grow out of season flowers any time of year, used to win the affections of both barkeep or noblewoman the same. I also love your list and this channel, it is incredibly valued by me and others in the community. Thank you, I also apologize for this poorly written ramble of a paragraph lol.
So... it turns out my DM reflavored the clockwork amulet as an item for me. We're still pretty early on, just level 3, but that has seen a few good uses so far.
Idk if you’re still making videos, this is my first one. I’m 2/3 through the video, and I’ve had to rewind a bunch of times. I keep getting distracted. I like the content, but it could use more pop. Like I said, idk if you’re still making vids at all or what is happening, just my unsolicited 2 cents. Thanks for the video!!
I subscribed due to this video. I hit the bell and now RU-vid only has none or personalized. Anyone know how to personalize it. Anyone know how to do this? Sorry in advance for being a noob
nothing for the bard eeeh .... how about the 7 bard instruments ? how about nothing for Monks ? nothing for beasts "other than 2 movements and 1 attack in adventure"? how about something else than the staff of woodland for druids ?
M brothers dm created clawed glove of the great warrior as a common magical item it gives normal stays without increseing size of charatars for pepole who rolled really tiny charatars . It was his way of being nice.
Not many people doing RU-vid work 60 hours a week at a day job, have 2 kids under 3 to take care, a house to maintain and still put out daily videos on RU-vid. Oh and stream 6-8 hours a week. So yeah, 90% of these videos were recorded between 1am and 3am.
There isn’t any oxygen in the haven sack or bag of holding. Should preserve things decently. Hell throw some ice in there and it’s damn near a vacuum sealed refrigerator in there.
It states in the description there is 10 minutes of air that is replenished each time they're opened: "Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate"
Nerd Immersion Yes. My vacuum statement is a reference to the fact that it is a dimensional space on the inside that is mostly unaffected by external temperatures, not that there is no air. My point is that it can be similar to a refrigerator because the contents in the dimensional space are not subjected to out side temperature unless the bag is opened. The rush of air is the only interaction that might cause temperature change. Thus, we put a couple of iced wine skins in there and it’s basically a YETI cooler. Prestidigitation can change temperature of objects. Control water can freeze water. Maybe your necromancer likes to keep bodies fresh before experimenting, a cone of cold prepares subjects nicely when the local peasantry come to investigate his dealings.
