I love the hat of previous desguise, its not so powerful that you can't give it to your players at low levels, but also perfectly usable at higher levels. Plus it will lead to stories that are much more interesting than a regular hat of disguise would!
Glad you like it! That's one of the items I've actually used in my game before and the players have found some good uses for it, so hopefully yours can do the same if you throw it out there! Thanks for watching!
love the holy revenger idea with the peasant. My players murked a peasant on session 1 just over a year (real time) ago and haven't done any murderhobo stuff since. Can't wait to surprise them with this!
I gave a party the Poll of Collapsing--not the Pole of Collapsing, but a clipboard that lists out questions regarding the respondent's last experience with suddenly losing consciousness. And yes, the target and the user are held in place until the questions are answered.
A weaponized clipboard isn't something I ever thought would come up at the table, but now that you've opened my eyes to it, how could I not want that in every game? Thanks for sharing, glad you're having fun trolling your players!
I once played a magic user who carried around a long sword. This was in an old-school system that forbade MUs from using swords. It was a cursed weapon that my character had tried to use Identify on. But that activated the curse and he had to carry it everywhere. Fortunately, it also gave him +2 AC. So, it wasn't totally useless. Useful items with some drawbacks, I think, are pretty cool.
Glad you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun making it! Thanks for all the support, I'd love to hear how your players react to the Amulet if you throw it at them!
@@TheBardsCollegeYT Oh, I will for sure let you know. My players would never question the spelling. Plus, it might help me with a part in my campaign I was having trouble writing ✍️
I enjoy using the statuette of mashed potatoes. It will provide your players with enough nutrients to not require eating rations while on the road, but can't be turned off, so whatever pack you hold it in will become slimy with mashed potatoes as you walk around with it.
Thank you so much for this video! In today's session I had one of the shopkeepers offer my party the Hat of Previous Disguise, Later Healing Potion, Bell of Invisibility and a couple of other items I made up being inspired by your suggestions. They loved it so much that they bought everything! Now I can't wait to see how they'll utilise them as the campaign goes on :D
That's really great, thanks for letting me know! I love hearing when my ideas and videos can help with folks' games, and if your party bought them all, you must've come up with some pretty cool items, too! Thanks for the kind words and follow-up, I really appreciate it!
Fun ideas! It's been years (20?) since I've played....but this really takes me back! Two unusual items I designed: glass-sword....+10 single use (it shatters) Demon (CN) [maybe it was a 1/2 demon? Not sure.] possessed sword that took a liking to our paladin. As a not-evil powerful sword.....paladin certainly was interested, but very conflicted over the 'demon' bit. (A bunch more complexity to this, but I've forgotten most of the details.)
Thanks for sharing! Possessed items are always fun, and I really love the glass sword concept! I can imagine the players pulling it out in their time of need and what a great moment that would be!
Another great video! And congrats to the Panthers, I grew up a Bruins fan so that last series wasnt ideal for me but at least we beat Toronto lol Good luck against the Rangers!
Thanks for the kind words and the congratulations! Now that the series is over I can fairly admit that you were playing both the Panthers and the refs at times, and Swayman is a monster. I'm sure you'll get a chance at revenge next season!
Some of these are plays on existing items, and some are ones that I came up with myself! Items like the Hat of Previous Disguise and Armor of Slipping and Sliding are ones I used in my game, while others I made up for the video. So I'd love to hear what you think if you get a chance to use any!
Thanks for the advice, now that I'm a UA-cam partner I have access to their licensed music, so maybe I'll start throwing some in there! Thanks so much for the kind words as well, they mean a lot!

Glad you like it, I’d love to hear how it goes! Moments like those are always fun as a DM, so hopefully the Revenger can help add to it!

Agreed, cursed items that are all negative can be a drag. Clearly the fact you remember it fondly still shows it was a cool item!
This video was AWESOOOOOME 🔥
I’m DEFINITELY using the Amulet of Plains 😂
Glad you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun making it! Thanks for all the support, I'd love to hear how your players react to the Amulet if you throw it at them!

@@LettuceScribe268 that’s great, I’m glad I could help! Sounds like your players are in for a ride!

Gross AND effective, love it!
Bagpipes of invisibility (grants invisibility while played) makes more sense than a bell that keeps ringing. Same concept though.
Bagpipes would be very fun! Love that idea!
Another classic Bards College Banger!
Glad you enjoyed it! I was proud of this one, thanks for all the support!

This guy is underrated, great videos all round :D
Please keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words, I’ll do my best! More to come!
Thanks, these are some great ideas! Will definitely be using the Flute of Flying in my own game!
Glad you liked them! I’d love to hear how your players use (and somehow abuse) the flute!
Nice set of items. Were these from a book or all these deviations of things that were in books - Like the Hat of Previous Disguise?

Loving the content! Really like your informative style I think some chill background music would add a lot to the videos! Keep it up regardless!

The later healing potion would work great as an alternative to feather fall, just yeet thyself from yon battlements and get up next round.
The image of a barbarian shotgunning a potion and jumping off a castle is incredible. Thank you for bringing this into existence!
those are all pretty good
great list and great ideas
Glad you liked them! And thanks for watching, always happy to know you enjoyed the video!
Haha, another good one!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for keeping up with the channel!
Ha ha ha great ideas!
Glad you liked them! Thanks for watching!
Wicked
Glad you enjoyed the video!
