    Now this is what I enjoy. Managing to sneak in demon content into the magic item Era.

    The Positive Energy Plane refers to the inner plane of positive energy. It does not refer to Celestia, Arboria, or any of the positive outer planes.
    It’s kinda boring there, but the Positive Energy Plane is the plane from which healing magic draws its power. It’s counterpart is the Negative Energy Plane, which is where undead get their animating energy from.

      In 5e, the Positive and Negative planes are around the Outer-planes, serving as the border of the Great Wheel, beyond which is the Far Realm

    You behold Orcus on his throne GRIPPING HIS TERRIBLE ROD!
    Across from him are paintings of Lolth, Malcanthet, and Tiamat's human sorceress avatar. You and him make eye contact. Embarrassed, he shuts the door on you. Both you and the demon lord agree to never speak of this again.

    Its a mace, but it can change size, so you could make it a giants club and make it 3d6 base damage if the creature can hold a Large weapon

    I’m not sure how much, if at all, the Positive and Negative Energy planes were covered in 5e, but they are separate, unique places outside of the other heavens/hells. Basically they are planes for pure radiant or necrotic energy, respectively. So basically you gotta have that bitch fried in the purest of pure radiant energy

      The only thing I've ever seen about the Positive and Negative Energy Planes in 5e is that they are shown as sort of the outer rim of the Great Wheel cosmology.

      @@brianroberts783 while that's 100% the case, I dont know that 5e changed the cosmology, more so that they just havent gotten around to fleshing out nearly as much as some older additions did. I consider these kinds things as "cannon until proven otherwise", but thats just me.

    Oh yeah you guys can start doing series on famous D&D artifacts. I absolutely loved your coverage of demons and devils.
    And really Orcus just wants peace and quiet. He just wants to be the last person in the room. Alone with his self loathing and smelly wand. He doesn't want to clean it anymore.
