Can I tempt you to participate in the Draw Steel jam we’re running at the moment? Leveled treasure is literally the theme: https://discord.gg/dGHxQ29h

this is fire holy shit

#

wait they're good magic items too?

#

how the fuck did you do this

#

ive noticed 3 elden ring references so far and all of them have been tasteful and rad

Thank you so much for the kind words! Also damn, good eye! I thought I hid those pretty well

this is super cool and a massive slam dunk

#

are these rewards intended to be granted fullsale to the party who defeats the associated boss?

The Decree of the Jade Hand 5-HR variant is meant to be a 3 cube, right?

Otherwise it is very underbudget for a 5-HR.

Generally I love this idea.

I also think Manifold Blade is kinda weak when compared to Steeltongue.

Also - I'd make the "increase potency" effect be just 1 HR.

Even if it were common, it's just ignoring a bane. Bleeding is much stronger.

Ok I changed it up a bit. I still like the idea of it being concealment-based, bc that's what the Shadow Elves statblocks are all about. Thanks for offering feedback on the items! I appreciate it immensely

hey - how much of the dragon phalanx heroic kit is built around heavy armor + medium weapon?

#

i was thinking of changing it to heavy/heavy, with a statline to reflect that

modest crest
#

Not restricted to that at all! Feel free to change it however you like; its your game! I had it as a medium weapon because Dorzinuuth (or however you spell it) was using a mace or flail of some kind.

#

sounds good, thanks!

#

for the heroic kits, is there a delieation between which benefits belong to the armor vs the weapon?

#

for the purposes of like

#

Any weapon ability that deals rolled damage using this weapon

#

this line thats on levelled treasures

#

For the heroic kits, the + bonus to stamina is usually taking into account the bonus from armor. For the weapons i believe i put an extra bonus in there saying something like +1 weapon damage per echelon. That ends up becoming higher than leveled weapons (since there are 4 echelons in the game) but i though a +1 difference wouldnt be too crazy.

Hope that answers your question!

for instance the dragon phalanx heroic kit has the 5th level benefit that when you are damaged by an adjacent enemy, you deal 3 lightning damage back at them

#

is that coming from the weapon or the armor

modest crest
#

Ah I see what you mean, sorry about that. That one specifically would be coming from the armor. Also the immunity to lightning damage and the flying from that same kit would also come from the armor. Everything else (the abilities) come from the weapon

But! Tbh I feel like you can decide what comes from what. The defensive nonsense could just as easily be coming from a cloak or a shield and some of the offensive stuff could be coming from the armor as well, why not.

hmmmm gotcha

#

thanks for the info!

#

I'm confused on how this ability works. Does this mean they are taking damage equal to the enemy that dropped the scrab or...?

Ah great point! Yes it should be from the enemy that dropped the scarab. I'll update the text for this whenever I get the chance; thanks for catching it!
