We got 6 new artifacts in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything! They are really powerful and really interesting, but as artifacts they don't get a lot of use in campaigns. I think these are great options to build campaigns around.

Magic missile would be a good spell to fight the mighty servant of Leuk-o as it can be affected by force damage.
I’m positive that the Deck is meant to be the basis of the greatest Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo style campaign of all time
Aaaand I now have my next campaign. Thank you for that
YeEessSSsSsss....
I was thinking the exact same thing
Bring on Vincent Price as the warlock group patron
A fun piece of linguistic trivia: the name Luba from Luba's Tarokka of Souls is one of traditional Russian names. Luba is short from Lubov, and the name literally means "Love" in the Russian language.
Dope
Imagine a Party finding a Full pack of the teeth, and going around the campfire one night each putting a random one in.
I was excited to see the Crook of Rao. I first saw it in the first issue of Dragon Magazine I bought (294 April 2002). Rao is a Greyhawk god of peace, reason and serenity and in that campaign world it apparently was used to banish a huge number of fiends that were being used by the army of Iuz the Evil. Definitely a powerful item that you could make the centerpiece of a campaign involving fiends.
Unless it misfires.
About the 'extra card' it can be anything. So like, as a DM, it could be a single card from the Deck of Many Things that you as the DM can choose for players to have or have it be a card that does whatever you as the DM want. Its a fun reward if the players manage to cleanse the deck because how the deck works, you will eventually cleanse it and lose said artifact.
Do the teeth specify anything about what happens if they're implanted in a creature that then dies? It would be really cool to introduce these via midboss encounters
If removed after the creature's death, the tooth vanishes. Note that this is not permanent destruction of the tooth. If the tooth vanishes in this way, or a couple other ways, it will reappear in the bag after the bag vanishes and reappears somewhere because all of the teeth have been drawn.
worth noting that the mighty servant can do a standing high jump for the 25 ft requirement for the crushing leap ability.
I definitely like the Baba Yaga’s Mortar and Pestle, Mighty Servant of Leuk-o, and Teeth of Dahlver-Nar.
Nice coverage! 33:33 Jander Sunstar is a reference to Descent into Avernus
Imagine an NPC "Dentist" that implants these teeth in people.
I love that you say you're not catching any references and then mention the MC of the first Ravenloft novel, Jander Sunstar.
I love the Crook of Rao just for the sheer setting ending potential
Daragotha is the infamous “Cr 50 dracolich chosen of Mistra” from forgotten realms lore, and the ashes of the ages of eternal fire I believe is a reference to Scanlan from critical role who gave up his wish to counterspell Vecna at 9th level hence the genies vs 9th level counter spell with a necrotic downside for not using it
I’m sure the others are references to something of lore of different worlds.
Besides the mortar and pestle, rhese items seem like something you could give to the players in the beginning of a campaign and they have to figure out how to destroy/deactivate it, or the players get their hands on it after already seeing the items destructive potential.
Little under 35,000 until 100k! I recommend all my new players to watch you to get a better understanding of the game
The Demonomican contains a pocket plane with the staff, would it not cause a bag of holding to implode if it is put inside?
_When you are mad at your players because they abuse RAW_
Players: How is this combat balanced!?!
DM: Servant of Leuk-o is technically CR 0, you should easily kill it right...
I think it's a typo. In the physical book, Servant's CR is - and its proficiency bonus is +7, which is equivalent to CR 21-24.
I add custom effects at very specific numbers. The numbers are determined and spread out before the item is granted. I don't change it for the players unless it's a really stupid death but if it's during a boss fight? Fuck no. I let the dice land where they fall.
With the teeth - the Donkeys dream is, i think, a refference to the D&D cartoon show where Uni - the petunicorn of the group got turned into a donkey after loosing its horn.
Nightmares of Kaggash is a selfrefference iirc to xanathars and that beholders dream other beholders into existence
The last Terraswue might be a refference to the last unicorn.
And i think there are also some MTG refferences?
And the Bag itself is the Dragons teeth myth.
The one with the vampire: Jander Sunstar. You can encouter him in Baldur's Gate descent into Avernus where he asks you to cut him down.I also went on the forgotten realms wiki to find that he was an enemy of Stradh?!
For the nightmares of kaggash, I found that: beholders dreaming beholders into existence is actually from Volo's; and Kaggash is a beholder hive city mentioned in the D&d 3.5 book Lords of Madness.
I'd love to find out the origin/reference for each of these legends!
@@christianadkins7199 You are right!
More info on some of the legends I've found:
Beyond the Rock of Bral: Rock of Bral is a Spelljammer campaign setting/sourcebook from 2e
The Golden Age of Dhakaan: refers to Dhakaani Empire, the goblinoid nation in the Eberron setting
Dooms of the Malpheggi: Malpheggi were a lizardfolk variant introduced in 'Hollow World Player's Book' way back when; basically the D&D version of the "lizard people live in the center of the earth" conspiracies
Incendax's Tooth: from 2e's 'Book of Artifacts' and it's interpretation of the Teeth (at the time spelled Dalhvar-Nar)
Dahlver-Nar's Tooth: based on the priest/cleric tied to the artifact's creation/origin; also briefly mentioned in Curse of Strahd, connected with one of the vestiges
If anyone has extra info on any of the stories we've already mentioned or any we haven't yet, please share here!
gonna use the deck as a campaign. Party has to track down and capture all the demons and when they think they are done a lich appears as the bbeg.
the mighty servant could be a sidekick
Hey Ted, great video as usual! Once you are done covering everything in TCoE, are you planning to do more DMsguild reviews? Because if so, I would be very interested in seeing what you think about what is personally my favorite series on DMsguild, Hamund's Harvesting Handbook.
Definitely
@@NerdImmersion Awesome, I can't wait!
When in doubt have your spells caster target you with a spell daily before a long rest to fizzle if you haven't used the CS in combat?
It would be fun to have a breakdown of Luco's parts if attuned seporatally. So you could drag out it's destruction and use it as the corrupting force of your campaign villains.
Re Mighty Servant: Also force damage as well as thunder.
My favorite artifact is definitely the mighty servant. It gives me major mecha anime/ iron giant/ pacific rim vibes. also at 24:39 it also takes full damage from force.
So when you sow one of the teeth does it come back when the animals disappear? If not then why is there a different section for destroying the teeth?
Campaign start with a Mighty servant vs. Tarrasque
Mighty servant stomps Tarrasque just because it has ranged attacks and resists piercing and slashing damage. It’s actually ridiculously broken for combat
@@josephwilliams5292 yup, ran the numbers, about 3 to 1 mighty servant wins
@@superblobfish2567 3 tarrasques it is
@@LethalLemonade by all means, but like, action economy wins there, try just 2
@@superblobfish2567 Or like, just one tarrasque, but when it dies it comes back as *Mecha King Tarrasque*
My artificer wants that servant! That punch and then bonus action cannons 💥
I love the robotsuit just for the campaignoptions. :p
i really want to do a game based on a less powerful version of the mech. it's so cool
Hmmm surviving the explosion of Leuk-o would i think need some kind planehoping spell. Contigency with banishment on yourself perhaps?
or be a level 7 rogue/monk with evasion, even if you fail you take half damage
There's a 9th-level spell called "Invulnerability" that grants the caster invulnerability to all damage for 10 minutes. However, this spell won't help you survive if you're inside the cockpit, since the pilots are slain without regard to the damage they sustain.
Not even a "Deathward" spell would save a doomed pilot, since it only protects you from dying from a nondamaging lethal effect (e.g. the "Power Word Kill" spell) or from dropping to 0 HP as a result from taking damage.
In all honesty, your most reliable (and cheapest) method of "surviving" the explosion is to have a cleric stand safely outside of the blast zone with a 300 gp diamond in hand to cast a "Revivify" spell on you (assuming the explosion doesn't tear your corpse apart; in such case, you'd probably want to have a 1,000 gp diamond on hand for a "Resurrection" spell).
@@jimmybob7873 "Creatures inside the servant are slain instantly and leave behind no remains." No remains means you'd need True Resurrection.
75d6, halved on a successful save, can be survivable if you're level 20, have a really high Con score, and a large Hit Die. A level 20 Barbarian with 24 Con has 285 hit points, a bit more than the average damage of 75d6.
@@aidenauty9716 that’s just too funny to imagine. Literally a nuclear blast and the rogue and monk are like. “I dodged it” ironically shield master works with this as well.
@@booxmowo2684 a barbarian can break 300hp no problem
ooh longer video today, cheers ted! can't wait to see you get 100k by your birthday
the minor detrimental are not minor at all. once heald an artifact and it gave me dissadvantage on all str and con ablity checks and saving throws !! how is this a minor thing I dont know.
It might be minor in the sense that it is a small problem compared to the major detriments possible. (I don't know any off the top of my head) but I think literally tearing open portals to hell everytime you cast a spell (just an example) is comparitively majorly problematic compared to the minor one you stated.
@@xSilentStrangerx i just read through the table and to me it just looks like they didn't think it through at all. Two of the MAJOR detrimental properties are that you take either 4d10 or 8d10 psychic damage when you attune to the artifact. At the point in time where you're attuning to artifacts how is that possibly a major detriment??? Let's assume you're a wizard, the objectively squishiest class, and you have a +2 con. If you're level 16, which is probably still a bit low for artifacts to come in to play, you'd have an average of 96 hp. A max damage roll on the higher damage property still wouldn't even knock you unconscious. Comparably one of the MINOR detrimental properties is "while you are attuned to the artifact you have disadvantage on saving throws against spells." Now THAT is a major detriment imo. To clarify I dont think that everything is on the wrong table, but it seems like many of the options were either over or undervalued in their severity.
@@Karak971 Oh shnaps. Hmmmm. I would say maybe they were balances around the lowest level you can reasonably get the artifacts in most campaign? Which for certain artifacts could be tier 3 or so? In which case that damage can absolutely wreck you, and you could be knocked out, which sounds majorly detrimental? But I agree. The "spell vulnerability" is definitely a lot worse than some damage. Even at those levels you could just rest at the worst, have a healer for the better. So yeah, some rebalancing may be in order.
Really enjoying these explanations that you’ve been doing
The number 14 tooth (adult red Dracolich), could easily start the zombie apocalypse if you implant it. Also as a DM how much information would you give players about the negative effects of the different artifacts?
For that matter, would you even tell them what the tooth does? Or just tell them what it looks like and let them choose what to do with it?
I think with attunement that character would get some sense of the negative effects, but maybe not the exact details. They might know some of the teeth effects can do more harm than good because they're incredibly powerful. I'd probably give them a vague sense of the tooth's effects when they draw it. Through attunement, they might know tooth A has power over life itself or tooth B emanates the calm before a storm. But I think it's more important to give the players the sense that implanting these teeth is a dangerous, semi permanent bond with an artifact with power beyond mortal control.
Variant Human Artificer piloting mighty servant of Leuk-o. I am become Dr. Eggman
Yay! Jandar Sunstar!
always love the artifact and magic items videos
Doing a demon focused campaign so have to comment time stamp so I can review later.
6:32 Crook of Rao
10:32 Demonomican of Iggwily
Heyo, in the physical print the Mighty Servant does not have a challenge rating and so isn't a challenge rating 0.
I always think your rooms look so cozy
Err, wouldn't putting a book with a dimensional space in it into a bag of holding cause it to be destroyed and a porthole to be opened?
I don't believe so. The only reason we know of certain things causing portals to be opened/the items to be destroyed is because those types of items specifically say that's what happens. There is no hard and fast rule for extradimensional space type items, that states if you place one inside another they get destroyed/tear open a portal.
The crook would summon 94,608,000
fiends over 18 years. That is the end of a world right there.
Until you find out they're all imps or the demon equivilant. The downside? you just won the blood war for the side that didn't get summoned.
I have never clicked on a video so fast
That’s so cringe OMG!
The teeth all seem to be references the daughters of bell and rock of brall and last aresk are all references and the teeth as a set are a reference to a vesage from 3.5
100k boys lets do this
Impressive
jesus christ the explotion with the machine of lum is 225d6
Thank you.
Thanks for another great video, Ted!
The name Luba is pronounced "Lyew-ba" and means "Love" - it sounds so weird to hear it any other way :D
But I suppose it's fantasy so anything goes.
Do you play pokemon
Yup!
I saw a mech suit in the corner of the thumbnail and that’s why I clicked
First four of them doesn't deserve to be artifacts ( at least in my opinion, I like powerfull stuff and I'm quite demanding in this aspect ) but those tooths and mighty servant are awesome.
And why do you think Baba Yaga's Mortar and Pestle isn't powerful? Or the Demonomicon? Or the Crook? What is your definition of "powerful"? Do you think you can just hand these things to players?
@@artificerprime4154 I don't see any obstacles to give them those on 16 lv. Or higher. You are probably one of those guys that never gives player anything nice are you ?. Because what ? You are scared or something ?
@@ZMSKfullpower No, I'm not scared, but the fact that you yourself are saying that these are only fine to give to PCs in the highest tier of play in 5e proves my point. Also, what distinguish artifacts from other magic items is the fact that they are all unique, require special and usually difficult circumstances to even be destroyed, usually grant beneficial or detrimental properties, and have a story behind them that lets you use them as plot devices. All of these items check all the marks where that is concerned, and some of the ones you're dismissing like the Demonomicon and the Crook are dramatic in how badly they can go wrong.
@@artificerprime4154 Ok ok, maybe you got the point. I'm still new here and I'm comparing D&D to The elder scrolls or other video type RPGs too often.
Whenever I hear "artifact" in the rpg, I'm always imagine some really powerfull stuff that easly destroy worlds and ao on.
@@ZMSKfullpower the crook of Rao having a 1/10 chance to open a portal that summons a demon every 6 seconds for 18 years and then permanently links the material plane to the abyss isn’t powerful enough to be an artifact? It would literally turn any campaign into Oblivion
