I should start immortalizing cool people in my #TTRPG world.
Let me know if you want a town, character, spell, monster, etc named after YOU!
@aspecurian I do believe I would. Preferably a character, but I'm okay with being a monster, too.
@ProjectShadow Hmm. Well you already have an entire type of undead and a plane of existence (the Shadowfell) named after you just by sheer coincidence. However... I think I can work it in. You may end up being a powerful magic item.
@aspecurian I'm okay with either of those. If I end up being an item, if possible, I'd like to be a sword, because swords are awesome.
@ProjectShadow Shadowboon- +2 Longsword, deals an extra d6 of psychic damage, cloaks its weilder in shadows (advantage on Stealth checks in dimly lit areas) and grants the Shadow Step monk ability 3x/day.
The blade will never rust or corrode in any way but has a peculiar quality: once drawn from its scabbard, it must be bloodied (deal at least 1 point of damage to a living creature capable of bleeding) before returning to its sheath, or ALL attack rolls with it suffer disadvantage.
@aspecurian Ooooh, I like that, especially the ability. Well done.
@ProjectShadow They are awful, giant clicketty cockroach-shrimps that eat ferritic metal via an extraordinary ability to cause rust. 1st Edition was the worst- the damn things' BLOOD would rust your weapons. So just attacking them could destroy your Sun Blade or Wakizashi of the Crescent Moon that you went on a specific, sessions-long quest to get. No thanks, and no wonder they were later nerfed.
@aspecurian Those sound horrible, ESPECIALLY the 1st Edition ones. Now I have an even greater appreciation for you preventing my sword from getting rust/corroded.
@ProjectShadow NGL, the image of the party rounding a corner and the fighter in full plate leaping, Laurel and Hardy-style, into the mage's arms? Pretty good. Arneson and Gygax may not have been perfect human beings, but they had a sense of humor.
@aspecurian Haven't encountered one of those before ( then again, I've played literally one game of D&D; impossible to find games locally ), but the note of not rusting or degrading in any way didn't escape my notice.
