6th character is poor Mr Snake's long lost twin brother Snek

[-] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

Your 7th is Solidus Snake

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

8th is named Badger. Still a snek.

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 3 months ago

It directly says so in the text of the book.

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 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 3 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

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 13 points 3 months ago

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

Where would that part be?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

probably a previous edition?

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

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

[-] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ohhh, I thought you said ignoble, sorry
