- William and Brian are covering a pair of items that would cause any adventurer to shutter with the prospect of their horrible power. The Eye & Hand of Vecna are vast in their potential, but come with a fair amount of risk, not to mention sacrifice. Find out the full capabilities and costs of wielding them this week on The Dungeoncast!

Had a legendary bad day.
Im real excited to sit down and listen to rhis.
Im smiling already.
I want to reiterate something I said before: you guys should post videos of just the various songs of "Shout out to Demogorgon". I find myself singing them sometimes, and would love to be able to look them up and just listen to them, without having to skip through an old episode to find the one I wanted. I can't be the only one who would rewatch those videos a bunch whenever the songs popped in my head.
I’m getting the vague impression that removing your eye and hand for the Eye and Hand of Vecna is a bad thing.
Nah, that doesn't sound right.
im sure it will be fine, think of all the cool powers you get.
you get to cast wish once a month though :)
Wait till you learn about the Head of Vecna
Did not catch that vibe. Should totally be fine.
I removed my left testicle and replaced it with the eye of Vecna so he always has to look at my grundle.
The sword of Kas being the only thing that can destroy the hand and eye makes sense to me precisely *because* it's what made them.
A lot of stories and magic systems have things that can only be destroyed by what made them. Just look at The One Ring and Mt. Doom.
The Hand and Eye fall to the ground together.
Eye: Hand down! HAND DOWN! I REPEAT WE HAVE A HAND DOWN. I can see him! Hold onto me hand, hold on! Don’t let go, Hand, DON’T LET GO.
Eye weeps. End scene.
Arkhan getting the hand was such an awesome moment in CR.
Awesome work again by the both of you!
Shout out to Demogorgon
i love hitting new players with the head of vecna jokes
Fun fact, there is a list of other body parts of Vecna that is cannon from older editions, all with their own stuff.
Excellent video! My players currently dealing with a villain who's in possession of the Eye of Vecna.
Thank you for not reading my whole review. I would have been so embarrassed! Also the FFF part is hexadecimal shorthand for the colour white. 😊
I mean has anyone ever asked the question... Have you ever seen Matt Mercer and Vecna in the same place at the same time?
"Eh! I've found Vecna's organs lying around! I could replace mine by those!"

45:50 I will also say on that front, Planescape is also surprisingly good. It's not up to the standard of the old 2e Planescape stuff, but it was never going to be. And all in all it was actually pretty good. The only thing I wish was that we had more on the planes of existence than those little effects in the DMG.
Obligatory comment to boost the analytics goes:
15:50
Will's explanation
awkward pause
Brian and I, Simultaneously: ... What...
This was surreal for me because most of the time I share my brain cell with William, but this time Brian and I were on the same wavelength.
Love the spooky times episodes. Dark and evil stuff is my favorite part of DND! A good villain makes for a more interesting story.
A Karsus episode or portion of the Netheril episode would be really cool! There alot of post-Folly lore that doesn't get touched much, like the Karsites in 3.5 (descendants whose bloodline was cursed so they can never use magic), Karsus as a vestige (spirit which could be summoned and bound to gain powers), and the city of Karse, built around his petrified corpse in the High Forest in Faerun. Really interesting character!
Getting the Sword of Kas and the Eye and Hand of Vecna videos back to back makes me wonder if any of this lore inspired the Soul Edge sword from the Soul Calibur series
Good timing fellas, next year is "End Game" for my long running campaign and at least 1 of these items is about to be introduced.
An even more villainous figure than Vecna is Wizards of the Coast. They're the undead version of TSR.

The Hand of Vecna: Chris Cox
Totally agree with Will, Minority Report is an awesome movie, the eyeball scene is the best and grossest thing ever, and I adore Peter Storemare.
As I recall there were some other lesser known body parts of Vecna
Like a finger and a heart, the skin, a molar, and a foot
Also, no mention of the Head of Vecna?
Not sure if i remember this correctly, but I think Vecnas cult members and leaders all have Titles like Arm of Vecna, Head of Vecna, ... depending on their standing inside the cult, right? Maybe youre remembering those?
That goes back to a specific adventure in I think 2nd edition.
what about the third leg of vecna? do we get a video on that most leg-endary of artifacts?
i’m not sure if these items were ever real, I know YEARS ago AN Pickett did a video of them, but following the same rules of paying a price there are also the : Hair of Vecna, Skin patch of Vecna, Molar of Vecna, Finger nail of Vecna, and the trick-item….the HEAD of Vecna (gets a stupid character to decapitate themselves thinking they can have Vecna’s head as their own) This might just all be homebrew but you have to admit the premise of a cult collecting these items is badass
Late in campaign 1 on critical role they got the " eye of Vecna " . A resurrected Lady Briarwood had in . When she died it popped out and started burrowing away .
Shout out to Demogorgon ❤😊
I love the XP to Level 3 video where a normal guy gets the hand of Vecna and they become bestie and go to Disney Land 😂
Yes!
"..so premature.." Williams jokes are great but too often overlooked
"Take my strong hand"
Oh i think it's Manga-nello?
Yeah vecna is arguably one of the most impressive gods, his ability to get out of ravenloft and into sigil.
These artifacts are the kind of thing I like to change a little so they are way worse to leave out in the world, and the only real way to contain it is to attune to it. The sort of thing, like in the original Diablo, the artifact, is powerfully evil, and it's safer to have a human wield its power than to leave it alone, but also the artifact will inevitably corrupt anyone who uses it.
On a unrelated question. I have wanted to play D&D most of my life , but sadly never have had the chance . My brother and a few friends want to start playing but it looks like I'm gonna have to Dm since I'm only one that knows the rules and such . Not how I wanted my first experience. Anyways ..
Is there a website I can join a D&D group without knowing anyone already ?
I'll trade my soul to Demogorgon for this info for my quest !
" Shout out to Demogorgon "
Try Roll20.net or a local gaming store.
Yo, but the stingers are bangers. Straight up.
I can't beleive you did not mention the head of Vecna, shame on you.
Let’s gooooo VECNA LORE
Sooo, one of my players found the eye, used the eye, and had his soul ripped out. He's now rolling a new character...
My question is how should I play this soulless NPC? Is he now in the early stages of becoming Vecna's avatar? I would love suggestions!
it is a corpse hand so like I guess it makes sense that it makes you into a stinky boi
Yo I'd have the eye of vecna make the character who put it in gouge out their other eye so that they won't be able to see if they can find a way to remove it
wish i didn't see that premature pun coming
It's not "Die Vecna Die", it's German for "The Vecna The".
❤👁️❤✋❤
I think the strength thing is more of an unholy/otherworldly strength not a muscular strength
That must be the worst summary of Edge of Tomorrow I’ve heard lmao
I come from a big nerd family, and am raising a nerd family. They can't curse because it's impolite, but I am not about to jump them for it.
But all fantasy themes are in-limits. People who keep their kids from genes are strange to me. Why are you going out of your way to make them the weird kid doesn't get any refferences? Setting them up for social failure. xD
Only about 20 minutes of actual Hand and Eye of Vecna. 😕
Tomorrow War. Chris Pratt. You're welcome 😎
I haven't watched that one but think will was thinking of edge of tomorrow which I have watched in which the day restarts everytime he dies.
@@ZachScouten1218 I thought Edge of Tomorrow was about a time loop type of thing?
Watch Billy and Mandy Ep 6. BIlly finds the eye of vecna!!!
