I think the best part of the Daggers of Desecration is that they instant kill whoever you hit, but then you have to fight a tarrasque. And if you want to use them to kill the tarrasque, you summon another one. TLDR, you can turn any enemy into a tarrasque.
I love to imagine a campaign with the sword of effects that runs something like One Punch Man, where the party one shots any boss they beat in initiative order.

The dagger of desecration is kind of a problem though. Yeah you one shot the guy you’re trying to kill but the tarrasque you summon isn’t on your side, you just summon one. Then you can one shot that tarrasque to replace it with another one. Basically it just replaces whatever enemy you’re fighting with a tarrasque

Yeah, I would throw in little trinkets to my homebrew game with little effects like this. They normally seem absolutely useless or just pure flavor until the players get super crafty with them to solve a problem. Like the Ring of Stargazing that I made, which projected a picture of the stars above you as though you were looking at the night sky directly. Players were able to use it in an underground dungeon to orient to cardinal directions even when their compass broke. Or the spidergoat brooch that gave a goring charge action if you had a climb speed over 25ft, letting the barbarian knock a pesky enemy off the cave walls.

Actually, due to how 5e works when it comes to fall damage calculation, I could see that Dried Bird's Claw having a use. Since 5e only factors in height in 10 ft increments when calculating fall damage, anything that's not a full 10 ft is ignored (example: Officially, if you fall 55 ft, you only fell 50 ft in terms of damage calculation). So removing 5 ft from the damage calculation for fall damage would actually remove an entire d6 damage die from the final damage roll, which could potentially spell the difference between "you survive a fall with a sliver of health left" and "the fall kills you". Granted, this situation is so incredibly niche that honestly, once a week is overbalanced. It could probably be changed to 'once per long rest', and even that might still be overbalanced, I dunno.
The dice is absolute chaos because it says a spell so it even works with cantrips, imagine casting guidance for an investigation and just blow up because you roll 2 fireballs in the wild magic table.
@@apjapki Some enemies have a high AC? If you're fighting someone who's wearing plate armour and using a shield, they'll have 20 AC. Even if you have, say, a 20 in DEX and a proficiency bonus of +4, that's only a 50/50 chance to hit.

No, see the dried birds claw is actually super op because it doesnt require attunement. And due to the name it doesnt seem like it has any special crafting requirements besides drying out a bird claw. You can just stick it in a bag 500 birds killed later, you can now fall from 5000 feet total per week and take no fall damage
The way you balance out ‘Aaron’s triple bladed greataxe morning star jackhammer spiky lance rapier scimitar short sword javelin hammer trident war pick sword’ is that every time the player wants to make an attack with it they must be able to say the entire name of the weapon in order correctly within a 6 second round, if they can attack twice in one turn they must be able to say it twice in one 6 second round, and so on
taking damage in increments of 10 feet is just the rate per distance. That means at a fall of 0 feet you take 0x damage, at a fall of 5 feet you take 0x damage, at a fall of 10 feet you take 1x damage, and so on. So reduce fall damage by 5 feet means that if you would fall 14 feet and take 1x damage, you instead treat it like a 9 foot fall and take 0x damage
Aarakocra Claw seems like a mundane quest item that the DM felt obligated to make and publish a full homebrew item for. Also “you are frightened of all of your allies” on its own is a brilliant effect

5:30 That's an auto-population response. When you fill in the attunement details, DND Beyond will automatically insert the phrase "Requires attunement by a" in front of whatever you write. So, if you write "Requires attunement by a Wizard," you will get : Requires attunement by a Requires attunement by a Wizard." Yet another excellent example of why you need to click on the item yourself and see how it looks to users BEFORE you ever publish anything! Also, I recommend waiting to publish until you are absolutely certain you'll never make any adjustments to it, since once you publish it, you can't edit anything.

Just throwing this out there as a homebrew addict - when creating a homebrew there's a field called "attunement description" and whatever you put in there creates the attunement requirement header - except whatever you put in there is then proceeded by the default "requires attunement by a" and then concatenates your entry. So when you see a "requires attunement by a Requires Attunement by a Wizard" it's because they should have just wrote "wizard" in that field, thinking that they had to write the entire attunement description there instead. This happened to me on a couple of my first homebrews and I was confused by it until I realized you can't change the proceeding text.
I used to give my goblin NPC's fetish charms that would give something like +1 to hit once per day or +1 to Saving throws three times before losing its charge. The players started hunting goblins to collect them. Not even to use them because the effects were so minor. Just to have a collection of semi magical bone and feather fetish charms.
One of these days I would love to see a “Jacob reacts to YOUR homebrew” where people can submit their own homebrew to be judged. Sure a number of people will just submit memes but it would be cool for homebrew creators to show off one or two of their creations and get actual feedback on it.
The Sword of Effects is actually kinda fun. The wording "hasn't attacked you yet" also doesn't have a time limit on it, so if someone has ever attacked you before you can't auto-hit them. If this is the only attack the enemy has, it becomes a game of remove condition spells and avoiding the sword, which has the potential to be a really interesting fight
Here's a swiss army wand: A metal spike. Melee 1-handed piercing weapon, versatile, finesse. D6 Piercing damage (5ft) Can be used as a conduit for a prepared spell of upwards of level 2 once per day. When used to cast this spell, the user does not need to expend a spell slot. Casting the prepared spell otherwise follows normal rules. A spell can be prepared for this wand by a Sorcerer or Wizard over a short rest, or any other class by consuming a spell scroll with the desired spell in the process. Usable as both a melee weapon and a tool to cast one spell up to level 2, even by magic inept classes. Doesn't require attunement.

Oh just replace some training daggers, retreat to a safe distance and cook up some popcorn.
Including you. Most worlds don't have a consistent way of killing terrasques, so by the time someone manges to do it, youl probably also die
I guess you could throw it from a long distance next to a teleportation circle of some kind
@@segadoeswhatnintendontNot unless you stab the Tarrasque with the dagger, too. That, of course, summons a different Tarrasque, but you still get the XP, which means you can find a bunch of people to set up a Tarrasque farm with until you can kill one without using the dagger.
@@HunterTracks Indeed. Just stab Tarrasques until you reach level 20. You only need one original target. Each stab summons after all. They take Necrotic damage right?
"Touch it. Touch it hard" might be my new saying that I'll just say to myself randomly.
I think that is a terrible idea lol
I kinda wanna join you in this...
9:04 Anti-magic ring has a misspelling*. "If you WERE it, you can not be affected by magic." Just the ring is immune to magic, not its wearer.
*No pun intended.
Thats amazing, I love how useless this makes it 😂
hear me out, put it at the end of a flintlock, use shrink magic on cannonballs and load it into the flint lock and when you shoot it, as soon as it comes out the barrel it makes a cannonball you just end up shooting siege weaponry from your flintlock LOL
It indeed has a misspelling, but what it says is "ware". So you only become immune to magic if you sell it, or at least offer it up for sale.
Intend your pun, coward. It was brilliant
@@roygribbleston619 This sounds like an actual folklore item. A coveted magical artifact that people seek out based on it's reputation of affording protection from magic, but nobody properly understands how to use, so they _think_ it's a ring that protects them from magic when worn, eventually find out it doesn't do that, and then usually throw it away thinking it's useless or a fake, so few ever realise you have to actually sell it to gain the protection from magic.
“He was taking the word minor out of it” 😂😂😂😂
The absolute (doctor) disrespect.
The dagger of desecration is kind of a problem though. Yeah you one shot the guy you’re trying to kill but the tarrasque you summon isn’t on your side, you just summon one. Then you can one shot that tarrasque to replace it with another one.
Basically it just replaces whatever enemy you’re fighting with a tarrasque
not if you have means of fleeing
@@runeanonymous9760 I think if you have means of fleeing from the tarrasque, I think you would also have means of fleeing the person that you one-shotted in the first place
Infinite xp?
DM: alright here is your choice *hands over dagger* fight my hand-crafted lich, or a tarrasque
@@lmt831 Yep, you kill it until 20 and then leave the last one while you go level up.
Pretty sure "Dried Bird's Claw" would've probably saved the Fighter on one of my games. He fell exactly 103 ft from the parapet of a castle and took 10d6 damage. If he had fallen 98 ft instead he'd taken 9d6 and it just so happened that he ended up with exactly 0 HP...
yeah i was thinking about that, imagine a character jumping off a 10-14 foot roof, out of a tree, down a hole, whatever and taking no damage
@@kingofrats4944 Seems like this is an automatic -1 dice in a fall, unless we're rounding i guess. i've always just added diced after each 10 foot threshold, maybe im doing it wrong
Yeah, I would throw in little trinkets to my homebrew game with little effects like this. They normally seem absolutely useless or just pure flavor until the players get super crafty with them to solve a problem.
Like the Ring of Stargazing that I made, which projected a picture of the stars above you as though you were looking at the night sky directly. Players were able to use it in an underground dungeon to orient to cardinal directions even when their compass broke.
Or the spidergoat brooch that gave a goring charge action if you had a climb speed over 25ft, letting the barbarian knock a pesky enemy off the cave walls.
15:42 SCP-162 “The Ball of Sharp” says it all.
"I know we do this one a lot."

Wondrous item, Legendary

Bagpipes of Invisibility
When you play the bagpipes, you, any clothes you are wearing, and any items being worn or carried become completely invisible, including the bagpipes, but are still physically present.
Blocks spells that require seeing the target at least.
Safebladder Potion: Upon drinking, the user opens a portal to a pocket dimension within their bladder. They do not have to pee for forty days. At the end of the forty days, the pocket dimension empties out and the user has to take a 30 + 3d12 minute piss or get a urinary tract infection.
Sounds like a potion from FATAL.
Just imagine you see battler weary stoic warrior comeback to town after a long adventure and the first thing they do is piss for 2 hours
@@culteyeoftaxfraud1143the maximum time they could piss for is just over an hour
so outside the pocket dimension, is there just a bladder sitting on the ground? and is the one inside the pocket dimension missing the bladder? imagine walking into an alley and seeing a random bladder on the ground.
@@flamewing7851 The pocket dimension has no time, space, or direction. It's just a portal and urine.

Edited to remove “minor” joke will date this, but I still laughed.
I was curious about that, what is it a reference to?
@@baguettegott3409 Dr. Disrespect's tweet about his inappropriate messages with a minor. He edited out the part where he admitted she was underaged - he later edited back in when people called him on it.
@@baguettegott3409 Dr. Disrespect edited out the word "minor" from a recent apology-esque tweet so that he wouldn't seem so scummy for "talking" to a minor. Wasn't expecting the reference here.
@@DeathByMinnow wow. Every time I see that dude mentioned he looks even worse. Like, EVERY time. It’s the kind of consistency most people wish their shits could have tbh
Actually, due to how 5e works when it comes to fall damage calculation, I could see that Dried Bird's Claw having a use. Since 5e only factors in height in 10 ft increments when calculating fall damage, anything that's not a full 10 ft is ignored (example: Officially, if you fall 55 ft, you only fell 50 ft in terms of damage calculation). So removing 5 ft from the damage calculation for fall damage would actually remove an entire d6 damage die from the final damage roll, which could potentially spell the difference between "you survive a fall with a sliver of health left" and "the fall kills you". Granted, this situation is so incredibly niche that honestly, once a week is overbalanced. It could probably be changed to 'once per long rest', and even that might still be overbalanced, I dunno.
i feel like it could easily just be a passive always active thing, its only 5ft
The Dr. Disrespect reference had me rolling.
The dice is absolute chaos because it says a spell so it even works with cantrips, imagine casting guidance for an investigation and just blow up because you roll 2 fireballs in the wild magic table.

Dagger, 1d4 force damage, always hits
That's not a bad item at all, Just imagine a rouge with this thing, dealing 1d4 + sneak attack damage every turn.

@@apjapki Some enemies have a high AC? If you're fighting someone who's wearing plate armour and using a shield, they'll have 20 AC. Even if you have, say, a 20 in DEX and a proficiency bonus of +4, that's only a 50/50 chance to hit.

Come on David, be a bro.
Seriously tho David, it's gotta be versatile too. Man's gotta dual wield, or he might still need a shield with that 40 AC.
Just wield your jackhammer great axe sword in your other hand, and you can one shot tarrasques all night!
I made a magic item I'm pretty proud of, you can find "strong man sailor spinach (canned)" it basically temporarily gives you popeye strength for weaponless hits
No, see the dried birds claw is actually super op because it doesnt require attunement. And due to the name it doesnt seem like it has any special crafting requirements besides drying out a bird claw. You can just stick it in a bag
500 birds killed later, you can now fall from 5000 feet total per week and take no fall damage
Please never stop doing this, these videos never fail to make me laugh
The way you balance out ‘Aaron’s triple bladed greataxe morning star jackhammer spiky lance rapier scimitar short sword javelin hammer trident war pick sword’ is that every time the player wants to make an attack with it they must be able to say the entire name of the weapon in order correctly within a 6 second round, if they can attack twice in one turn they must be able to say it twice in one 6 second round, and so on
taking damage in increments of 10 feet is just the rate per distance. That means at a fall of 0 feet you take 0x damage, at a fall of 5 feet you take 0x damage, at a fall of 10 feet you take 1x damage, and so on. So reduce fall damage by 5 feet means that if you would fall 14 feet and take 1x damage, you instead treat it like a 9 foot fall and take 0x damage
Tip for anyone interested in becoming immortal: 'not dying of old age' and 'not aging' are VERY different
"How can you be charmed and frightened" someone hasn't seen the way dio talk to kakyoin from in jojos part 3
You cannot remove the “Proficiency with a [weapon]…” from a homebrew magic item on D&D Beyond. It is added to every weapon upon creation

Aarakocra Claw seems like a mundane quest item that the DM felt obligated to make and publish a full homebrew item for.
Also “you are frightened of all of your allies” on its own is a brilliant effect

It’s literally the second best series on this channel, we love it.

Scp-162 is a giant mass of small sharp objects like fish hooks. People feel compelled to touch it and Touching it will cause you to immediately get tangled up in it
5:30 That's an auto-population response. When you fill in the attunement details, DND Beyond will automatically insert the phrase "Requires attunement by a" in front of whatever you write. So, if you write "Requires attunement by a Wizard," you will get : Requires attunement by a Requires attunement by a Wizard."
Yet another excellent example of why you need to click on the item yourself and see how it looks to users BEFORE you ever publish anything! Also, I recommend waiting to publish until you are absolutely certain you'll never make any adjustments to it, since once you publish it, you can't edit anything.
Now make a 1 shot campaign where you can only use the worst rated home brew
5:55 - I need to create a wonderous item in there, describing how it looks like in detailed intricacy, but not mention what it does, and name it 'pot of greed'.
Pot of Greed?
What does that do?
I live for these vids, my mental has never been doing so hot so whenever I'm feeling especially ick I watch all of these vids - your laugh is infectious and these vids make this whole living thing feel a lil more worth it every time.
Just throwing this out there as a homebrew addict - when creating a homebrew there's a field called "attunement description" and whatever you put in there creates the attunement requirement header - except whatever you put in there is then proceeded by the default "requires attunement by a" and then concatenates your entry. So when you see a "requires attunement by a Requires Attunement by a Wizard" it's because they should have just wrote "wizard" in that field, thinking that they had to write the entire attunement description there instead. This happened to me on a couple of my first homebrews and I was confused by it until I realized you can't change the proceeding text.
I misinterpreted the potion of immortality as “for one minute you cannot die of old age” and I am OBSESSED with that because that is so gd niche
Don't feel like you do these too often, they're consistently hilarious.
I used to give my goblin NPC's fetish charms that would give something like +1 to hit once per day or +1 to Saving throws three times before losing its charge. The players started hunting goblins to collect them. Not even to use them because the effects were so minor. Just to have a collection of semi magical bone and feather fetish charms.

One of these days I would love to see a “Jacob reacts to YOUR homebrew” where people can submit their own homebrew to be judged. Sure a number of people will just submit memes but it would be cool for homebrew creators to show off one or two of their creations and get actual feedback on it.

The dried brids claw is just the aarakocra claw after its been sitting in your inventory for a year
The Sword of Effects is actually kinda fun. The wording "hasn't attacked you yet" also doesn't have a time limit on it, so if someone has ever attacked you before you can't auto-hit them. If this is the only attack the enemy has, it becomes a game of remove condition spells and avoiding the sword, which has the potential to be a really interesting fight
6:04 what more do you...wand?
Here's a swiss army wand:
A metal spike.
Melee 1-handed piercing weapon, versatile, finesse.
D6 Piercing damage (5ft)
Can be used as a conduit for a prepared spell of upwards of level 2 once per day. When used to cast this spell, the user does not need to expend a spell slot. Casting the prepared spell otherwise follows normal rules.
A spell can be prepared for this wand by a Sorcerer or Wizard over a short rest, or any other class by consuming a spell scroll with the desired spell in the process.
Usable as both a melee weapon and a tool to cast one spell up to level 2, even by magic inept classes.
Doesn't require attunement.

I think there's a really great version of the sword of effects where it's like a +1 Longsword, but requires a roll on every successful hit to determine at random
1.) What kind of damage it does.
2.) Which of those effects it has.
