Sympathies. Best hopes for your sister's recovery

So Thursday I got word that my little sister was diagnosed with a stage two invasive breast cancer. Its essentially the same one that took our grandmother and great aunt. Im seeking a 2nd job to help with upcoming medical bills and will do my best to keep up with my commitments here becuase i'll need something to distract my mind. If i seem distant or vacant feel free to give me a nudge i wont hold it against you.

You and your family have my sympathies, as well.

Look out for yourself and your family first, but we'll be here when you have time for a fun diversion.

I wanted to consult you guys with an idea before acting upon it.

A friend has asked me to playtest a homebrew magic item he has concocted.

Would it be okay if it was one of the treasures waiting to be found in these ruins?

Fine by me.

Fine by me too!

Of course, if it curses Randu with compulsive jolliness I may regret that ;)

praying for you and your Family.

Cool item.

So first question would be...it can be flipped as an immediate action, but does it have to be in hand to do so? How is the action it would take to retrieve it handled? Or does it teleport into your hand if being targeted?

Also do you need to have a hand free (for example being targeted while climbing or casting a spell)?

Loot sheet updated

I actually discussed these concerns with my friend when he first pitched the idea to me.

Regarding the first question, in order to keep the item from being made useless due to needing a move action to retrieve, once the bearer drops to 10% HP, they find the coin appears in their off hand.

Regarding the second question, after watching my friend demonstrate being able to flip a coin while still holding both various household items and weapons from his display collection, I'm going to say that you do not need a free hand. If you're in the middle of casting a spell, though, it will require a concentration check to weave the coin flip into the somatic component.

Pardon the wall o Text. Randu was on something of a roll :)

So the loot sheet has been fully updated. Anyone see anything they particularly want?

Who got the light crossbow +1 :)
if no one Miya would like
The Studded amor +1 is free again
Unless someone needs the braces +2 as they cant use Amror

:)

Rrruh could use the crissbow.he has zero ranged attacks really.

Well, Randu already has magic headwear so he's trying to think who the Circlet of Persuasion would work best for.

EDIT: An no, not complaining! Freebies from kindly golem dwarf angels are always welcome! :)

Rrruh Crossbow is your if everyone is happy.

Circlet of Persuasion is yours Randu if everyone is happy.

Did someone claim the Belt of Str +2
I ask as the braces do less for Miya than the Belt as a +1 to hand to hand would be good. Happy to switch out.

Randu already has something for the headslot I think. Randu, can you even wear armor?

If he can't like most witches, then I think Randu should get 1st shot at no armor AC items. And if Randu getse the bracers, you can keep the studded armor and get the combat boost from the belt.

Randu already has a headband of vast intelligence +2 which helps his spells. So the circlet of persuasion should likely go to someone else. And nope, Witches are not proficient in any sort of armor or shield and Randu is no exception.

Rrruh punches things if no one needs the belt...

Im ok you haveing the belt Rrruh if others are.

Okay so we're looking at

Layla: 20 +1 merciful bullets
Miya: Bracers of Armor +2 (unless you want to wear the armor and give Randu the bracers since he can't wear any)
Rruh: Light Crossbow +1, Belt of Giant Strength +2
Randu:

Still up for gabs:
Pearl of Power (Lvl 2).
Soldier's Lucky Coin
Circlet of Persuasion
Cloak of Resistance +2
studded leather +1

I imagine the Pearl of Power would suit Randu fine. Never know when you'll need an extra spell when you're a caster. The circlet we can hand off to whoever does most of the talking.

Miya will give the braces to Randu and use the studded leather +1
Dibs on the Soldier's Lucky Coin as it seems fun. hehe

Enjoy! A ninja having emergency luck just seems to fit

That's very kind of you, Miya P. I wasn't going to make a big fuss over the bracers because well, it's useful for anyone but it is nice to get a bit more protection. VERY Nice. Whew.

And yeah, I think the Magic Coin fits a Fox related character :)

And yeah, I think the Magic Coin fits a Fox related character :)

This is actually humorously appropriate.

The friend who asked me to playtest the magic coin has the nickname "Coyote" among our friend group, and his wife likewise has the nickname "Fox" among our group. She loves everything fox-related, including kitsune characters in media.

They will both be delighted to know that a kitsune ninja tested out the coin.

Flips the coin and sees a head.

I have been a bit ill of late, so have at long last bitten the bullet and decided to take a year off work and write, just write, Get all these made ideas down from my head and into some form of writenessnes.

As my mate once said.

"We walk in other worlds, us writers"

Hope is to be one to.

Pearl of Power (Lvl 2). [Randu]
Soldier's Lucky Coin [Miya]
Bracers of Armor +2 [Randu]
Belt of Giant Strength +2 [Rruh]
Light Crossbow +1 [Rrruh]
studded leather +1 [Miya]
20 +1 merciful bullets [Layla]
Cloak of Resistance +2 [Layla]

Okay, everybody. Make sure your new stuff on your sheet and all cross them off the loot sheet. I'll grab the cloak if nobody minds.

Loot sheet updated.

Glad to hear the surgeries went well!

Great news! Wishing the best for you and your family.

Good news all round today :)

Miya, that's a 95,000gp item. That would take up your share of any loot we come across for pretty much the foreseeable future, for an item you can literally only use once a month with some pretty problematic consequences.

Holly Molly, ok did not expect a 95k items to drop, that adds a hole other level to this.

But I think even if it was worth a Billon gold, Miya would not want to sell it. She said to use it for the greater good or destroy it.

And there is the problem for the rest of the party.

Q: Is would your PCs be happy to sell such an evil thing? Miya is not, that's why she said 'Use or destroy it'

But Even IF used for good, The moral query... Using it or selling it for coin to be sued for good, Is this not just
greed for a greater good, and could it be not, just evil in another form?

That kind of greed can be very bad for one's life, spirit, and even soul. Heading one down a very slippy road...

Miya is a pragmatist but also does not want this to fall into the wrong hands. But is she wrong? is she starting on a very dark path, the same as the group if they sell this evil item...

As the saying goes,

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions. "

:)

I included the necklace, despite its value, because I was very curious to see what you guys would do with it.

I placed the note from Bloodeye as a failsafe in case you couldn't identify its cursed nature. I didn't want anyone taken out by putting it on. That just felt cheap.

I love it, makes us player think what our PCs would do.
