    Anyone else imagine themselves at a seminar in a prestigious college in a fantasy world/realm listening to "Professor Pickett" every video?😋 That, or we're all newer Gods and Goddesses listening to an arch/old God about how to mold the worlds we'll soon be overseeing

    I supose you could have the leader of a bunch of petty empyreans use one of these as an actual throne. Then as the said "god" slayer sits on the throne to establish their new order of rule, after the ultimate conquest. They're just teleported to a celestial plane to the sound of crying children and the sight of a huge glass being placed over the top of them. As a vast sheet of rectangular paper is slid underneath their feet. "nasty little critters aren't they dear?" ans "honestly darling i don't know why you let the kids play such dangerous games?"

      Edit: I also wonder if this means the throne has a equivalent level of power possessed by a deck of many things, or if it's due to the "gambling" nature of the deck?
      Then again, I believe it's easier to destroy a deck than this throne.

      When you block a person from your channel because they have posted offensive or abusive stuff, they still have access to the like or dislike button, so, my guess is what you are seeing is essentially the wailing, voiceless tantrum clicks of the guys who thought they could say whatever they wanted and not have any consequences. What they will never understand is that those downvotes are like the notches in my axe that I look at with pride, for they are enemies who I have vanquished, to protect the friends who have graced my channel with their awesome presence, warm hearts, excellent ideas, and stunning insights. Well, that is my theory anyway.

      However, the Baremettle channel recently uploaded a demo video of some upcoming content for their game, namely their Thaumaturgy system.
      I Highly recommend checking them and Exanima out, it's a difficult game but it's incredibly satisfying once you get the hang of the controls.
      ( It's even more amazing when you realize that there's only one dev that is able to work full time, and he is the lone coder/programmer for their game.
      On top of all that, he is making their game engine from scratch, so it goes with everything else.)

    so Thanos finds the Throne of the Gods. Stands in the seat and casts polymorph on the throne and turns it into a gauntlet. With a clear and persice image of half the life in all realms connected to the throne he slides his hand into the gauntlet.
    With the power coursing threw his body. He doesnt waver in his image. His finger some together with a snap.

    • @AJPickett
      @AJPickett  5 років тому +5

      1) Yes and no, what I am really saying is the game designers say "You can put one anywhere, the gods made them, they are not specific to one location".
      2) Yes, though the designers imply that a character can ask for other things, but the gods (The DM) may react unpredictably. The Throne does give one of the best chances of increasing multiple attributes and giving a level of experience, which is a fairly major deal in any edition of D&D.

  • @supercalifragic1551
    @supercalifragic1551 5 років тому +9

    Seems pretty (Extremely) weak for an epic interdimensional throne connected to all gods, made with the power of all gods. It's far worse than finding just a Manual of Bodily Health and or the other ability tomes, and those have no risk chance to use them, and those exceed 20. Wtf was Wizards thinking.
    Who would have thought that some paper bois would exceed the power of all the gods.
    A good high level plot element could involve the Throne where a cabal of cultists seek the throne to use as the catalyst for a spell to slay all the gods using a similar item made from Elder Evils where on contact with the throne it acts like a virus tracing the Throne to all associated powers. The throne being associated with all the gods, is a critical crossroads of all their influences. The elder evil item being something like a heavily cursed totem of twisted patchwork flesh the cultist high priest had been wearing mounted on their back the whole campaign, annihilating the throne like a Matter anti-matter reaction.

    Using this in 3.5e, should you double the bonuses/penalties?

      Perhaps for the magic item bonuses.

    Wish to destroy it 1000 times!That's crazy.Imagine all the mountain dew and oreos I could have if i had 1000 wishes.Imagine all the naked men and women that would surround me on my private island full of loyal devoted followers to their queen me.Imagine the awesome military that would fly around on winged dire T-rexes with lazer eyes and regenerating troll dna. ensuring that noone would fuck with us.Why would anyone waste 1000 wishes on destroying a throne?lol

      Someone who really wanted to destroy it so they used simulacrum wishes to chip away at the throne every day for about 3 years, practically an afternoon nap for a long-lived Elf let alone a deathless Lich- Or any high level caster with Clones.
