What would be the names of the magic items from the old D&D Cartoon...If they are not to OP I want a group to find the remains of a group of adventures who have them (The DM will be the BBG)

Silver Crusade

I doubt if there are exact equivalents to those items in Pathfinder. I'm not sure if they were ever specific items in any version of D&D. But I bet someone out there has made up their own versions and put them out on the internet somewhere. Try google.

Hank and Presto are your only real problems. Everyone else can found or made pretty easily - Cloak of Invisibility, Quarterstaff of Vaulting, reskinned Mattock of the Titans, reskinned Force Bracers, etc....

Hank's Energy Bow

Apparently if you can locate Beneath the Blade of Sword Mountain, it has all the kids and Venger statted up. Presumably that includes the rest of groups items.

I don't know about BtBoS, there's a 3rd edition book called, "Animated Series Handbook" that stats each of them up as seventh level, gives stats for Uni (she's a CR 2) and has an adventure written out - it has maps of encounter areas and the dungeon maze, it has monsters from the Monster Manual (and their page numbers) listed, and it stats out Venger and Shadow Demon.

It's pretty amazing...

... not that I've ever read it or anything.

*Cough*

(Looks like they bought it!)

A bit of google-fu turned up something called Beneath the Blade of Sword Mountain. It's apparently an 3.5 adventure that's packaged with the DVD Boxed set.

Ah that's it. Editing!

They stated their items up with the release of the D&D cartoon on DVD. They also gave stats to the kids, Venger and Shadow Demon. This was for 3.0/3.5.

That said, something I didn't do last time was Link what I'm talking about.

Weirdly, it's not listed under published D&D adventures or rulebooks or even under books under the show's page on Wikipedia, so it's pretty obscure.

Picture Proof that it does exist, though.

That adventure is actually part of the Animated Series Handbook. :)


I have not seen all of the cartoons yet but I recall Hank's bow being more awesome than what got linked to here in this thread.

I remember an episode where he uses the bow to locate the direction they need to go

Spoiler:
straight down into a sand whirlpool as it turns out

In another instance I remember an episode where he uses the bow to

Spoiler:
lasso/bind up a mega beast of some sort.

The Cloak of Invisibility was the simplest item but maybe that was just the show writers. The rest of them had what I would call Artifact level magic items. See my description here to avoid confusion.

You're not going to stat up Hank's bow as seen on the show, as it was a plot device because the cartoon couldn't show people taking an arrow to the knee. Presto's hat was similar - I recall him pulling a cruise ship out of it at one point after all.

As for Sheila's cloak not being an artifact, just give it mythic-level invisibility and combine it with a cloak of protection - or anything else you want.

Hank did shoot enemies dead on with the bow, but it was an energy hit, rather than piercing damage. The main thing that's hard to stat up is that he routinely used it to create pseudo-ropes of energy, to wrap up enemies, for climbing rope, etc.

Some sort of Brilliant Energy analog lumped together with the unique effect of the Cornerstone Crossbow is kinda getting there, but it feels a bit rough on both counts.

Hey since it's related, Paizo stated one of the Kid's Greatest Foe the Demodragon in Dungeon #147.

When the show consists of an Intro, a Problem, a Struggle, a Resolution, and an Outro; all in half an hour minus the time for commercials + opening/ending credits; well, lets just say everything is a "plot device".

And the cloak did seem to make the thief almost incorporeal as well as invisible. All those last second Hood-Up maneuvers and the character should have gotten clobbered anyway.

I just got the DVD series for Venger's stats...

Wasn't a cruise ship.

He pulled out an aircraft carrier.

"Abara ka Daisy! United States Navy!"

That CR 2 baby Unicorn killed Lolth would you believe. How embarrassing.. You'd have thought endless armies of murderous Drow would be after the gang, going bonkers about demonic sacrifice, but no.

DM held their hands all the time, amateurs.

They should remake it starring the ogres from Hook Mountain Massacre.
