2:24 I imagine the "City of Seagal" is pretty much the same as Sigil, but with the Lady of Pain replaced by Steven Seagal. Pretty terrifying.
Instead of the dissidents of Sigil dying by a thousand cuts, it’s just a bunch of broken arms and legs. Doomguard flying through the air in terror like they were hit by a Skyrim giant
No, the Lady of Pain is his wife.
bwahahahhahhaa
Katey Sagal as Peggy Bundy
this is even funnier cause in our homegame strahd is basically steven seagal cause of how similar he looks to young steven seagal XDDDD
I gotta say the fact that at 26:18 they talked about linking magic item charts with monsters for loot might be one of the best things they implemented. Its one thing as a DM I have found always lacking with 5e was a clear idea of how to divy loot out from monsters.
The draw for crafting is not just the power of picking and choosing the items or the fantasy of picturing your own visuals for them, but the narrative bond you forge with them because *you* chose them and put in the effort to making them into "reality"
I would echo this and add one fact: customizability.
I think there are a lot of items that are ALMOST perfect for “my” character, but with a small tweak, like weapon type or damage type or maybe you wish it was a different spell or a different ability buff. There are so few items that buff certain ability scores.
@@ElocNodnarb absolutely!

No mind-blowing reveals in this, but I think it's my favourite one of these interview-style videos yet, just because of how much fun everyone's clearly having recording it.
So true. They have to market, but having fun with it and showing how much they love it is great
I missed Chris Perkins’s signature style and thought processes in the PHB overview, but I see it’s alive and well in the DMG!
10:25 One of the most iconic magic items I ever gave my players was a bag of holding that every time it was opened would scream in my best Cookie Monster voice. "I AM MOUTH. MOUTH HIS HUNGRY. GIVE FOOD TO MOUTH."
I had a wand of fireball that turned a random amount of coins in my possession into potatoes. by the end of the campaign i used a bloody half eaten potato of sharpness to decapitate the bbeg and had built a cult around the potato. It was a spelljamer campaign by the way.
The Pi-rat joke went over a lot of heads but I loved it
I Love the humor they have! this is great! so much joy!
It's so clear that this was at the end of a long day of interviews cuz they don't get the giggles like this normally. They were all probably exhausted lol
When they were talking about the talking boots and none of them could pull it together made me laugh so hard
He is the Rat King. He lives in the shadows. He will deliver us from our grief. He will show us the light.
The real magic item is the faith in our hearts 🐀
May the rat king show us the way through the ever expanding void
Hail the Rat King
i prefer the rat prince yes yes yes
@@Dewkageremember the new Monster Book by the Dungeon Dudes is giving us an upgraded version with higher CR that’s the Rat Prince once ascended into King status
17:38 this kind of artifact popped into my head, a lawful good sword that bonds to evil characters and is cursed...the swords name, Redemption!
You would need to flesh it out a bit more. Maybe it was the sword of a lawful good cleric so it heals targets that are not undead or fiend and the only way to override this ability is an opposed Wisdom check. It might even have a couple of cleric spells that it can cast or while attuned you get the benefit of the healer feat or Magic Initiate Cleric. Stuff like this is where the Magic items can go.
@@nickm9102 Would likely wait on the DMG for that :D
Yeah it is bare-bones because I literally thought of it why they were talking.
Not like the Mini-phylacteries hidden inside rings of regeneration that every time an adventurer kills a sentient while wearing the ring a portion is sent into healing the wearer of the ring and the soul is sent to the main Phylactery.
I love the charming atmosphere of this videos. They much more fun when there are less formality and more like "friends talk about favourite game".
Bob yelling at his sword. Wizard - "Trouble with your sword?" Bob - "No, why do you ask?"
“Bob, you’re embarrassing me in front of the wizards.”
The "Don't tread on me" joke. LMFAO
I remember back in AD&D a sentient item had "ego" and you had a table you could roll stats for it too.
Watching other nerds having fun really makes me happy
I’m glad they address that the quirk tables are in 5.14 DMG. one of my favorites.
Potion of invisibility reminds me of the illustration of the invisible stalker in the 2nd edition MM :)
I love how a bunch of this stuff was already in the 2014 book. They really shot themselves in the foot when they laid that one out, but also, not enough people read past the tentpole bits like the item entries and stuff. There's a lot of cool stuff in there all around the major tentpole sections.
The genuine enthusiasm, passion, and excitement is contagious. Look forward to working a magic whispering assassin’s dagger into my game… “F***ck yooouuuu…” 🤣
Aw man! When Chris and James started riffing on the venom dagger I felt like we got a sneak peak of the writers' table at WotC. I need more of these two being spontaneously creative and silly.
i'm watching 3 guys nerding out over D&D magic items - happy days!
So we are not getting clearer pricing on items your just making the very vague and not so helpful table easer to fine? The broad stroke of 500 to 5000 for the same level of rarity isnt super helpful.
I don't recall the Magic Item prices been in DMG 2014, which was one of the problem with DMG 2014.
They weren't. There was an extremely loose guideline (as is 5e's style) in Xanathar's Guide, but it could be very inconsistent (again, as is 5e's style).
Crafting magic items rules is so cool. Wizards should create competitions to bring most voted fandom custom magic itens to the game
My favorite would be enhanced material components. Like you cast a summon spell with this very expensive variation of its normal component and the summon is cast at a higher effective level.
Seeing you three nerds taking such delight in your improv scene about a sentient pair of boots is a brilliant reminder of what this game is all about: goofball shenaniganery along friends.
I feel there needs to be more magical items that come it sets, currently we have the Eye and Hand of Vecna, the card sets, and other wonderous items.
Here is some examples of magic items that come in sets.
"The Sword and Shield of Terror" the shield causes fear and the sword has advantage on attacks against terrified targets.
"The Dual Scimitars of the Sea" while apart, they are just +1 scimitars, but together, they have the ability to pull or push creatures before or after you attack them.
"Demon Rings." Each ring controls a demon that you can summon as an action and can control as an bonus action and if you wear more than one demon ring, you can summon all of them as an action and control all of them as a bonus action.
You missed another potential creating sets where being attuned to the particular item while wearing another gives you the benefit of the other item. It a themed set
Elmenster's adventuring gear: a hat of Wizardry, broach of shielding, ring of spell storing, staff of power, Robes of the Archmagi that while attuned to the item of highest rarity and wearing the other items you gain their benefits. Maybe add a minor property to each one or slightly boost the items properties (Ex. Maybe his Staff of Power has 30 charges instead of 20 or the ring of spell storing can hold 9 spell levels instead of 5 or the hat of Wizardry doesn't have the once per day limit.)
@@nickm9102 There is the Hammer of Thunderbolts (a classic from at least 2nd) which requires both Gauntlets of Ogre Power and a belt of Giant Strength. Compared to the 3.5 version, I think they nerfed the Hammer of Thunderbolts so hopefully they put it back on tier with 3.5 along with the other two items.
I would’ve loved to see in the magic item section an image title signifying the potion of invisibility but it’s just a blank space above it
You're close, it's a picture of an "empty" vial.
11:11 best part.
I hope that they intend to recategorize a lot of the items in the book that are listed as Legendary but are clearly Artifacts.
With Artifacts remember there is a Legend Lore Spell so If the item is in the game be prepared incase character casts the spell. (Also, if they go and research the Item. Research may be more in DM control of access to correct information)
James Wyatt is amazing and I love this. Very excited for this book now
When they were talking about sentient clothes. One for boots I believe will be great. The personality of the android from Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. For a cloak of flying, any high up beat fairy but slightly annoying.
The game has needed good crafting rules and good home base rules for years. I am glad they are finally making this a priority and putting them in the core books.
Props to Chris Perkins for being the only one out of all 3 of them to pronounce Sauron properly.
I am so gonna make a sentient hat, called the pointy hat, it’s a chaotic evil hat.
the DMG is olooking really good so far
I hope they fix the time component. Crafting a rare item takes 10 workweeks in XGTE. Alot of our campaigns don't go that long. And by the time you have $2000 to spend, you definitely don't have enough time. Generally we'll play for a year and in game about 2 months will pass.
While we may not want players to be 'Sauron' it would be so much fun to be able to craft cursed items.
I was hoping that at least the special properties of magic items (if not items themselves) required players to harvest components from certain monsters. I would love to see a listing of what parts would grant what abilities. So many other systems include this and it's very cool.
I would have to make an artificer, if I wanted to make magic items. Not being limited is going to be a breath of fresh air.
It is nice to see your laughter.
And these are the rules I would use with my artificer
IF I HAD ONE!
Now EVERYONE can create such things if they have the arcana skill and required magical spell instead of just one class.
I'm really looking forward to getting this book.
These three are great together, I am thoroughly enjoying this content
they laughed so much, and I with them. Three DMs chilling, I love this.
As a dm and a player who loves crafting I am excited for this dmg
I hope the crafting times are more reasonable. The reason nobody used them in the 2014 rules is because adventures rarely allow for months of downtime to craft a medium rarity item.
They seem to be leaning into the bastion manufacturing concept. Since it works on man hours I know there are many spells that would give you more hands on a project.
Unseen servant, animate object, create homunculus, create magen, I would argue that the fabricate spell could get a lot of the prep work out of the way.
The SInister Whispering Dagger sounds AWESOME!
Pretty sure wands cast the spell FOR you (like a gun) hence their DC, while Staves have charges but channel your own power hence you use your personal DC.
I would like a suggeston table, what Materials in particular are needed for commen or rare items. Just saying "I buy everything with gold in a big city" is pritty boring. This would be great for different side quests. And the DM could let the players find random Materials where the players can see, what they could craft with it.
I kind of wish they'd taken a different approach and gone for more of a system for making magic items baked into it for at least more standard ones. I really liked how easy it was to figure things out for gear with 3.5 in creating things
They best interview! We love you Tod!
9:18 When we were little, my younger brother always played a dwarf fighter named Bob.
Man there a having such a good time, it's contagious. I think this is best one yet, at least vibe-wise
I think the draw of crafting magical items is also about flexibility and mastery. It's the fantasy of being a master. It's flexible because you can acquire virtually any imaginable ability and tag it onto your character as a defining trait, but also because, like Iron Man, when you can craft the item yourself, it's less about the item and more about the character. Stealing the item then does no good long term because they could just make another one. The item is now part of the character in a truly fundamental way.
I once built a Maul of Door Shattering. A +3 Weapon (but only against doors) seven charges to cast Shatter up to fifth level, on hit. My barbarian hated doors, beaded curtains are the superior portal entrance!
Loud Property but it makes the target Wilhelm Scream.
Please PLEASE tell me the BAG OF HOLDING art actually resembles the item now
Made a rod of alertness that when it went off it was a screaming goat. Worse part is it didn't stop until the danger was over. Oz is famous for quirky items lol
I understand needing arcana for the arcane based magic items but what about the more divine based ones like the classic Rod\Mace of Disruption? What about the holy avenger? Both of those are more divine based instead of arcane caster.
Religion proficiency is tied to stuff like remembering details on a god's worship and knowledge in the skill might infer you know what a religion's rituals may look like and how to do them, it doesn't give you knowledge on how to weave magic into an item, a paladin could forge a holy avenger but they must have knowledge of how to infuse their magic into an object which comes from their capabilities as a paladin combined with knowledge in the arcana skill
I have had a maul called "Maul of the fiery Anvil" in the games I run for years now that causes sparks and made a loud CLANG when it hit targets. I guess I was already using the loud property before it was in the books lol. Also my son had a character that used a Hurdy-gurdy years a go after seeing them played on youtube.
"More people means fewer hours" if only that would be the case in real life.
Hope we see notes about what school(s) of magic shows up with Detect Magic. Some items are easy to determine because they specifically let you use a spell. Other's aren't so obvious.
I made Mordenkainen's spellbook into a sentient artifact. I haven't published it on DnD beyond just yet since I want to polish it up, but it is a Character.
Imagine a book that can fly, is picky about what other books it is shelves with, and will actively deshelve books it doesn't like.
Have you fixed the item rarity system? If you base it on something that's broken from the start, I have my doubts about how the whole crafting system will end up broken too.
10:30 On a crit: **taco bell bong**
17:34 **Sonic and the Black Knight flashbacks** "You are the chosen one? You are but a squire"
James Wyatt at his peak today.
I will say it's good that they put back prices for magic items and crafting rules.
These sound like a lot of good changes. Particularly all the tables to give flavor to the more simple magic items.
That was in the 2014 DMG on pages 142-143
Players don’t have as much fun playing dungeons & dragons as these guys had just talking to each other on this one. Did the guys have beers before tor during filming?
Let's be honest - the Hand and Eye of Vecna are basically analogs for The One Ring.
There's a weird auto-exposure thing happening every time the camera is on Todd
I just want my character to realistically have a business selling and making potions, a potion bar/tavern and specialize in philter’s of love
When making a magic item, you have to have the spell. Do you need to have the spell prepared or could you use a spell scroll of that spell?
So for those who want crafting to be linked to quests: isn’t it better to cater them to the campaign? Fire-breathing could require you save vs fire trap or breath weapon to catch it in a bottle, while potion of invisibility requires you steal a scrap from a ghost’s shroud, maybe cutting it with a radiant knife, but these might be more useful as suggestions for DMs rather than specific mechanical formulas, so they can match what is in the campaign, or the nature of its magic - consider the difference between old-world brewing basilisk tongues vs capturing magitech sprites inside the machine, or even sci-fantasy eldritch codes on your crystal computer…
If I had a venomous dagger with loud, the loud noise would be the sound of vomiting
But... do the magical items have prices?
Hopefully the treasurer chapter gives a more specific range or exact price.
He says the treasures chapter will say what items cost if the dm says they are available.
It does by rarity
@@LexyLexer the 2014 DMG gives you prices by rarity already. What everyone wants is what they did with 3.5 give a specific, per item, gold cost not common 50-100, uncommon 101-500, rare 501-5000, very rare 5001-25000, legendary 25001+, with consumables at half value.
@@nickm9102 I would also love each already established item to have a mechanical recipe, like in Pathfinder and 3.5. You need X spell, X amount of gold, and X special ingredient. It just makes life easier to not have to come up with everything (and, like any rule, can always be ignored if you don't want to use it).
I love how the game designers are just giant nerds who became more powerful over time. Very in-universe of them.
When they said, “Hag Eye,” I kept hearing the Old Testament book/prophet Haggai and was confused for a bit.
the loot table themes seem cool but what I hope they fix with the loot tables is including all the magic items in the book.
as in the 2014 book not all magic items were in the rollable tables. so if that was the only way a DM gave out loot there were many items the players would never have a possibility of seeing.
many people have homebrewed new table to include everything, but it be nice to have the official tables include everything in the same book
Lol the sinister whisper is definitely going into my next session. 😂
A sentient Crystal Ball that has a habit of scrying for lost kittens.
and when the user loses the battle of wills, the user has to go find the lost kitten to adopt.
I'm now envisioning "Black Knight's Armour" that taunts opponents like the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail. And if the PC dies, it'll still taunt the enemy. "Tis but a scratch!”
I'd love to see "the arming sword of Poop McDinglefart". Also would shatterspike count as an artifact since it's been around since 3rd ed?
One thing I have been curious about, but was not discussed here is how magic weapons interact with the new Weapon Mastery system - like are there magic weapons that use a different mastery? magic weapons that let you apply the normal weapon mastery, and a second mastery with a single attack? are there weapons that enhance a mastery, like updating Slow to decrease a target's speed by more than the usual 10 feet, or updating Push to be able effect creatures of a larger than usual size?
I would expect that any interactions like that will be noted per item otherwise the weapon type decides the properties used.
@@nickm9102 right, I am curious if any new specific magic items, or "magic item types" interact with the Weapon Mastery system.
Like "Flame Tongue" weapons add 2d6 fire damage, and "Viscous" weapons add extra damage on a critical hit.
Are there boing to be things like "Forceful" weapons that have some interaction with the "Push" mastery?
I hope they improve the Claw of the Wyrm Rune. It is one of the few anti-dragon items that isn't just a weapon, but it's activated ability to give a dragon damage vulnerability for a turn at DC 13 con save is too strong with an almost impossible success rate. What dragon fails a con save except a nat 1, and even then, you had to drop 3 legendary resistances first.
1:25 is literally an Artificer ability. Artificer was more about crafters finding inventive ways to create magic, not just guns and robots. Just because they are more prominent in Eberron doesn't mean an alchemist (legit subclass) couldn't exist in Greyhawk. Artificer also get their subclass at level 3 anyway so it wouldn't be too difficult to bring into 2024. bring back Artificer
This is why the Artificer is NOT in the PHB; they must redesign the class.
I remember playing Everquest and they introduced crafting but it was almost impossible to craft things that weren't even magical or were low level magic items. It got boring creating anything due to the whole process
Really sad that we are not getting actual prices for the magic items. It's unfortunate.
At no point in this video did they say magic items wouldn't have a gold price
@@lucasramey6427 they did. They alluded to it being basically the same as the current DMG. Which is basically not having a gold price. Id even say id they went uncommon items are 400 gold is still not really giving magic items a gold price as the particular items are significantly varied in power even for items of the same rarity.
everything showed here was exciting
23:45 D&D listens to Rolling With Difficulty confirmed???
My goal has always been for my players to wield weapons and those weapons to *become* legendary in the process.
We have the thing players are exited about (magic items and all other crafting rules) so we didn't put it in the player book 😅
of course herbalism kit being an exception from 2024 PHB and doesn't require spellcaster/knowledge arcana
Pre-ordered
Crafting magic items? Cool. When are we getting Artificers?
Artificers?...
Artificers! Thanks.
Eluveitie is a good band that has a hurdy gurdy.
