100th and most beloved character: Some dude with a knife

I always enjoyed this aspect of D&D games: the creative, interesting enemies, places, and artifacts that you could find in some of the books/tomes.

In fact, i was able to find the exact book i was thinking of at archive.org! The AD&D 2nd edition Book of Artifacts: https://archive.org/details/tsr02138add2ebookofartifacts/mode/1up

Here's one of my favorites from the book, though it's been so long i really could do to give in another gander:

That's a direct ripoff of Slavic folklore, FYI

I saw that too!! I was googling about it for a while this morning, fascinating stuff! I enjoy the ways that they recommend introducing the character and house into a campaign etc in the Book of Artifacts, too. I think it's cool they use real folklore to give the game flavor and interest.

Everything is derivative.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It directly says so in the text of the book.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I didn't read the text on the page, only the title.

Quiet you, those rules are for the players!

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

So I checked and it depends on the species but one flying snake has a field of view of 308.5°. So for some species they'd be able to have hands way apart from each other

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.

Where would that part be?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

probably a previous edition?

According to here it's from Tome of Beasts 2.

Tome of Beasts 2 by Kobold Press

Yeah. And even when someone challenges you to play another noble paladin, they never get less weird.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Ohhh, I thought you said ignoble, sorry

Lol shockingly similar to one of my characters who was a squirrel wizard.
