      Staff of Defense sucks. You can cast eith mage armor or Shield... as an action. But you can't cast shield as an action, because it requires a trigger that doesn't exist while you're taking your action.

    Can we rename this series “Ted’s Top Ten”? Keeps the TTT from “Top Ten Tuesday’s”, but makes it so you don’t have to constantly apologize for not getting it out on a Tuesday, lol.
    Seriously though, love the videos, greatly appreciate them and refer to them constantly. Keep up the good work!

    I personally like the shadowfell shard better than the outer essence as it allows you to give disadvantage on any save until the end of your next turn. That's 2 spell saves given disadvantage if they use the same ability at the cost of 1 sorcery point if you use something like subtle spell, plus any other party's spells and effects that use that ability for the save aswell.

      @konahrikvolkihar0185 Před rokem

      Not to mention, if you use the Meta magic that gives disadvantage (for three points, but still) that can be TWO creatures making saves at disadvantage, used that a while back with Enemies Abound to turn a couple beefier enemies against each other...and they even took out a couple of their weaker minions as well.

    Not sure about staff of defence as it says as an action and shield is a reaction normally so it’s really only useful for mage armour. Maybe cloak of displacement instead as a better option for protection

    My dm let me buy the Bloodveil Vial+1 as a clockwork soul sorc although im just level 4 sorc and level 1 cleric, at level 6 I can spend 5 sorc points for maxed Bastion of Law giving me 5d8 damage negation. When combat is near I can upcast Armor of Agathys with a 4th level slot, then when it starts I can move close to enemies and use Wither and Bloom to let me roll a hit dice restoring all of those points. I'm also a Goliath so I should be able to use 5d8 and 2-4d12+8 to make those 20 thp last for way longer than normal while the enemies take 20 damage whenever they try to hit me. Should be so much fun!

    Well, guess I didn't do too bad by comparison. Currently playing a lvl 18 Sorcerer that got his hands on a deck of many things. Among losing all my magic items, gaining a keep, and lvl 4 fighter, I got the 50k in gems. The party had access to one of the best cities to find magic items so made a "wish list" of sorts (probably around 40 items expecting to find maybe 5 DM returned with Close to 30 so I bought the lot. Plus we came across a couple of legendary items so got roughly half the list the rest is augmented by legendary items or artifacts.
    Had 4 sets of Elven chain, lost one to the deck but was able to procure robes of the Archmagi.
    Helm was unavailable. not big on blast scepter so got staves of fire and frost. Got robe of stars and staff of defense. Definitely went for a staff of power and a blood well Vial. Haven't done anything with the shards so guess I should look into them. Right now my big side quest is trying to get an Internal tack. We have a lead to a guy that has either that or the flail of Tiamat either way I'm gonna get me a new toy.

  • @IstanaghVlandis
    @IstanaghVlandis Před 9 měsíci

    Staff of defense has a pretty significant downside, which is that you have to spend your action to cast shield, which is normally a reaction spell. The staff is still good, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to point that out.

    For the outer essence shard, if you’re dealing the extra necrotic damage to a creature that succeeded the save against your spell but still took damage for like a fireball, is the necrotic damage halved too?

    • @konahrikvolkihar0185
      @konahrikvolkihar0185 Před rokem

      No since it's a different source of damage, the save is for Fireball/lightning bolt/etc, the Shard is just a free bit of damage

    For staff of defense, you gotta use an Action to use shield or am I interpreting it wrong?

    • @matthewhood7635
      @matthewhood7635 Před rokem +1

      As written, yes. One of the worst written magic items in the game. Though, since it's from Lost Mines, it's one of the earliest magic items exclusive to an adventure.

    The Staff of Defense isn’t as good as you think because it says you have to use an action to cast the spells meaning if you want to cast shield with it you’re using an action not a reaction.
    Still probably worth it on a sorcerer for the free +1 mage armor tho.
