Love the Penn & Teller reference in TFtI#10.
Hmmm, bargain bins…gonna have to remember that one.
Deck of Just One Thing would be quite the substitute for a Deck of Many Things. Think the players may get suspicious after the fourth draw…
I have so got to plot in “Dollar/Copper/1-credit Store” supply shops now.
Heh, bag of moulding would allow a lot of cheese, throught.
Hmm… I’m more than positive I could find some way to put that bag of molding to good use. A constant source of vegetation for Entangle for one.
What about a Cod of Wonder? Or a Portable Hoe? The paladin seems to have one of those.
Ring of Three Fishes.
i’ve been in a campaign where one of the other PCs had a Meatier Ring. needless to say, we didn’t need to use any trail rations.
Ring of Visibility: You gain -20 to Stealth Checks, everyone else around you gains +20. Launch a “one man” assault on a castle while a hundred of your unseen mates assail the walls!
Recanter of Endless Water: Never have to fight with a Water Elemental again!
Deck of Just One Thing: Take the risk to draw one card. If it’s a good card, you’ve got another 21 of them to use whenever. If it’s a bad card and you survive, (Note to self: “give” all your stuff to someone else in the party to avoid it being destroyed. Including your clothes.) then just hide it somewhere you think your enemy will pick it up and wait for them to suffer the misfortune.
Bag of Moulding: Erm… nope, I’ve got nothing.
If you wanted to hide a body, you could cut it up and put the pieces one at a time in the Bag of Moulding, where they would rot away to dust?
Bookmarking for further deviltry, heh, heh, heh…..
Recanter of Endless Water… I could have used that in my last adventure…
Oh Dick, you don’t even breath. But I could see you using it to torture Hctib Elttil.
Somebody commented on DM of the Rings that he killed a dragon with an enchanted spoon that would fill any vessel with gruel. They sealed the dragon in its cave by having the spellcaster cast Mud to Stone a whole bunch of times, then punched a hole and stuck the spoon in it.
Actually, I used a Ring of Visibility in my campaign once!
It was a Ring of True Seeing (Cursed). I.e the wearer grants True Sight. Everyone who had line of sight to him could see him perfectly and without err. Even if he was sneaking around (it was an assassin).
It was sort of a lesson in identifying stuff before you throw it on.
Actually, a bag of molding would be quite useful if you use the definition of “mold” that involves shaping an object.
Or, if there’s no specification on the type of fungus and the player can choose it (given certain limitations), easy hard-to-find-but-could-grow-anywhere magical reagents!
Everyone of them, except the Bag of Molding, has great uses on an adventure.
Wow, that Recanter of Endless Water actually gets used later on. And, although I don’t recall a bag being responsible, in that same chapter, things do get, uh, molded.
