- In this video, we will be covering some of the weirder Legendary and Artifact items in DnD5e. Magic items of this rarity tend to have effects that are so overwhelmingly powerful that they can change the course of a campaign in an instant, which can make them extremely hard, or outright impossible, to obtain under normal circumstances. So, instead, we will be going over some of the items which have more whacky and outlandish effects than other legendary items or artifacts.

While capturing a creature using the Iron flask, you must yell: "MAFUBA"
Orbs of Dragonkind actually have a lot of neat history behind them in the Dragonlance setting, which is why they have such a smorgasboard of really specific effects.
The Iron Flask makes a delightful appearance in Baldur's Gate 3, along with your own Pokemon inside.
Indeed.
Interesting tidbit is that one of the earliest trap in the Dungeon of Death (a dungeon from 2e, I think) has sovereign glue in it. I ran the dungeon for e5 and I think the entire team got caught in it. Lucky them, all of them wore gloves. Not so lucky was that one pair was a gauntlets of ogre strenght.
So interesting thing about the Orrery Of The Wanderer: if completed and attuned to by a level 20 artificer - a fitting class given the artifact's clockwork construction - because each part counts as an attuned item without consuming an attunement slot, Soul of Artifice gives you a +7 to all saving throws for just one slot (technically a +8 due to each component giving a +1 for each stat individually)
I gave my players a deck of many things in my first ever campaign (because I thought it was cool) and I had a custom deck of cards.
The party only used it a handful of times after they drew the Dunjon and realized they didn't want to mess with that...
Until the final battle with the arrogant head of a doomsday cult. The player who had the deck asked to convince the BBEG to draw a card from the deck, and after he rolled a nat 20 on the charisma check, I decided to play along.
Except I drew The Void.
From WoW, to YuGiOh, to D&D. I keep organically finding your videos. Glad to have found another place to indulge your content.
He also has a pokemon channel called "the dex logs".
The Orbs of Dragonkind go back to dragonlance, where they couldn't just summon dragons, but enslave them. The 'summon only' version is a bit of a downgrade.
agreed, in my game they still can if you come across them.
The original version from Dragonlance never gave the ability to enslave. It specifically called out needing to use other methods of control or negotiation. The usage of the orbs in the novels was summoning dragons to be trapped and killed in High Clerists Tower.
Raistlin using it to summon Cyan Bloodbane and commanding him was a measure of his personal power rather than from the orb.
Prior to Dragonlance, in the AD&D DMG, I think the 8 different Orbs had a dominate ability.
There's also the Mask of the Dragon Queen, an artifact that's built from component legendary items, that acts similarly to Orrery of the Wanderer. Not nearly as niche, since it has a multitude of powerful effects that are pretty generic.
I got the deck of many things once.
I used comoners that had fanatical devotion to me pull the cards out.
In the end, there was 6 dead commoners, one dead world eater, and Vecne handed over to The 13 Powers to face justice for his crimes.
Session 3, we completed the entire campaign and it only cost us 6 old men who were all happy to put their lives on the line to ensure their grandchildren had a future.
The moral of the story? This is why you don't force players to have magical items they don't want, no matter how cool you think it might be.
The moral of the story is probably more along the lines of "If you think your party will face an interesting dilemma, you can just watch them completely break everything you thought you had to pieces."
28:01 So another CZcamsr stated that the original creation of the deck of many things that it had a dungeon was created for it to be used with. I think if you were going to use the deck and you're afraid of you know destroying your campaign make it like the movie. Hell rising. They have to play the game or they're trapped in a paradise for all eternity. But there is a loophole within the deck. There's a card that allows you to teleport so we can teleport from the queen of pure beauty to back to your home world. Some of you might think way. Would you leave a place that's beautiful. There's no food, no water, and it's just an open field for miles it's just very nice that's it.
I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention the Ythryn Mythallar.
Knew about the Deck of Many Things but had no idea it had such OP effects in it!!
~_~
OMG!!! Your voice again. So happy you made this channel. I was already over wow content, but still liked your presentation style. Gonna stay here for dnd content for a year or so.
One thing with gluing creatures to object with soveren glue I have is... Why can't you just cut it off without the skin it's glued to? I mean, it's gonna be painful, but it's better than being glued to stuff until you die and naturally rot off them; it could be counted as lingering injury (nothing about it in item description, but if you say that there's no way a square foot wound would heal, I won't disagree with you), but at the point of the campaign when you can get such stuff, you probably have spells that can heal them
29:55 I'd rather want to know how to use the wish spell myself with no chance of failure (this question has 3 parts: a: casting it myself, b: no chance of the effect being anything unintended, c: not hitting the 1 in 3 chance of not being able to cast it again, as b and c are considered failure and unlike wish, this answer shouldn't try to trick me)
The Apparatus of Kwalish, forged of the mystical metal oron
Cool
It's gooo
I’d love a video about the deck of many things.
0:42 imagine getting stuck on spider web and using legendary item to break it
Well, if it is Lolth's web, I certainly will use anything that comes to hand to get out of it.
The Tarrasque is one of the only ways to actually destroy a god in 5e. So if you ever need to go god slaying, using it and another item that I wont mention since its a spoiler for a module lets you drop both on any god or devil lord or demon lord and they are powerless as the tarrasque tears them apart.
Also a warforged attuning to #2 removes the downsides since they are immune to all magical aging xD. Pretty sure Plasmoids are too, but with how half baked Spelljammer was, I doubt they included that.
And for #1, if you EVER want to completely upend the entire DaD world, just have your fates thing be "Karsus never existed.". No Karsus's Avatar, no death of the first mystral, and no collapse of the Netherese empire. Now your world has 10-11-12th level spells and everything.
I like the Karsus take. Also depending on your level, that super powerful Wizard in your party suddenly just becomes a random wizard, because his most powerful spells suddenly are outclassed by miles.
Depending on who is talking about Karsus i would ask myself how close to meta gaming we are getting.
The Wizard ? Sure he will know about Karsus but he should also know that changing past events could have devastating repercussions especially when they happened ... thousands ? of years ago (you know Chaos theory and oh boy if he goes though with it my thought process would be:
Ookay~... session ends. Next time prepare new characters as i doubt your current ones exist (or at least met like you did) in the present as you changed too much.
I guess i will take a break while i piece together a couple hundred years of lore that were shattered ... oh wait i dont have to (evil smirk)... yeah make new characters
Next time you will have to fight the Phearimm (i guess i can make them 11/12th level casters that can cast all their spells at will with some weaker minions like Mind Flayers, Beholders, ... and since they are evil creatures that have mind slaved followers that do their bidding i guess each of them have a couple hundred slaves that do manual labor and stuff)
I hope you are ready to rewrite about 2000 years of arduous history. Not like there were devastating events that made life for mortals very hard (forget Quantumogres i can have Quantumgods walking my setting for a time XD) .
Difficulty setting for campaigns moving forward: grimdark.
Get in the flask!
Take your like, you son of a bitch. And maybe pick up some Popeye's.

This is the content I live for
Yes
Here to boost the algorithm for this pog video
22:15 there's also the Mask of Tiamat
Would the nightfall pearl work against the dragon that lives in the core of a star?
Would the Loc-Nar be a sentient artifact or a monster?
I once played in a high level one shot where the DM forced every character to draw from the Deck of Many Things right before facing the BBEG. I drew the Void. The rest of the party proceeded to loot my soulless body and I just walked away.
12:38 cool dm item
24:51 cool dm item
28:13 fuck that one
Could you do Top 10 best Ritual Spells?
The Nightfall pearl wpuld be great for a vampire villain
If marvelous pigment isn't on this I riot
Pigment is a Very Rare
Riot away
👍
Many of these items are obviously not intended for the PCs to have. They are lore items meant to enable the DM’s worldbuilding or create plot hooks.
Ah yes… the Infinity Orrery
23:49 would this not affect you with the monks ability?
That depends on how you want to read that attunement ability. Because if you read it as one, then yes, the Monk will just completely negate that effect with level 15 or higher. But you could also read it as different effects that are put together. In that case you wouldn't suffer the direct negative effects like half speed and reduced sight, but you still would die in 3d8 days, because that time would mark the end of your natural life, which the Monk wouldn't prevent.
@@Schilani so it depends on if the dm rules the "The creature will reach the end of its natural life span in 3d8 days" as part of being magically aged up or not, is what i'm getting
@@KingBeevee pretty much. If the DM rules it as different, then you have a very healthy monk that might just keel over at any point after 3 days have passed.
The Dungeons Masters Guide??
WHAT DO YOU MEAN GLUE IS A LEGENDARY ITEM???
In all fairness, it's probably the gluest glue to have ever glued.
Want to stop a Tarrasque from rampaging? Sovereign Glue plus immovable rods or glue it’s mouth shut. Lol
Is this hirumared?
Wait the deck had that strong of stuff... Maybe 5e did but I am pretty sure the 3.5 version was far more lame. Full of RP effects but nothing that actually caught my eye as useful.
13:02 iron.
It is not hard to run spell checking on anything you write.
This is not 1991.
Why are some of these hearthstone art? lol
He acknowledges a Tarrasque becomes a joke with a bow & flight, but still felt it deserved a spot on his top 10 deadly monsters list, instead of Tiamat or Bahamut. Confusing..
Did both videos get released simultaneously? It wouldn't be surprising if they got a comment mentioning this on that video and learned about it then.
@@piemaster831 could've been what happened
You can talk your way out of a fight with Tiamat, I don’t think you can do so with a tarasque (only reasoning I can think of)
It's just a list, not that deep dude.
The best use of the Tarrasque is arguably not against players, but anything the players care about. Most cities/towns aren't gonna be loaded up enough to take down a Tarrasque, so it's more-so a walking disaster than a proper monster.
Sucks that pokemon d&d got shit down. Nitendo need to be sued for barring fair use.
First
