A Handful of Magic Items 17
We’re back with the seventeenth installment of A Handful of Magic Items! I went for a trio of consumables for a few reasons this time around. First and foremost, balance is less of an issue with consumables. Even if your players have access to something maybe a little beyond their level, if you only give them one, once they use it its gone. Second, and building off of the first, it should feel great when they use it! They will accomplish some tough task, say “it’s a good thing we found that item!”, and be thrilled. And then it’s no longer a problem for you as a DM! So without further ado, here’s our items:
Phial of Ice
A Phial of Ice can be used in different ways. However it is used, the phial empties and is no longer magical. As an action, you can use the phial to do one of the following:
- A creature can drink the contents and then exhale, causing those in front of them to feel the effects of a magical blizzard. All creatures in a 15 foot cone in front of them must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d6 Cold damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful save.
- Starting with a space within 5 feet of them, a creature can splash out the contents in a 15 foot line, causing the ground to become slick with ice. For one minute, this area is considered difficult terrain, and creatures who enter into or end their turn on a space with ice must take a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, falling prone on a failed save.
- A creature may pour the contents onto a melee weapon or 10 pieces of ammunition. For the next minute, the first time each turn that that weapon or ammunition deals damage, it deals an additional 1d6 Cold damage.
Persuasion Check: Unearthed Arcana 2020 – Subclasses Revisited
Today we get a special treat as Wizards of the Coast have gone back and made changes some of the previously seen subclasses with updated names and abilities! The Revived Rogue becomes a Phantom, the Noble Genie subclass for Warlocks is now just Genie, and the Artificer’s Archivist is now the Wizard’s Order of Scribes! Let’s take a look at how these subclasses have changed and how they stack up in their current state.
As always, our Persuasion Check articles are less hardcore analysis and more commentary drawing insights and some direct analysis where needed. If you want a more flavorful approach to opinions on playtest content backed up with some insights, this is the place for you! Now, follow along and let’s dig into these subclasses!
