FOR DMS: New Tricks from just DMG magic Items

[Kyramus]

I figure DMs are always making npcs or monsters that use different things from the magic items that will be part of the treasure that the players will use.

What unusual combos have you used or thought of OR just found from looking at the magic items list?


Here's an example.
Portable hole
Ioun Stone- Iridescent
Ioun Stone- Clear
Add in 2 assassins.
One hides in the portable hole and don't have to worry about food or air.

The Bounty Hunter
Iron Bands of Bilarro
Rope of Entanglement

The 6 million dollar man
Belt of giant str +6
Boots of speed
ring of jumping
Eyes of the eagle

Suicidal Tactical Nuke
Fighter with very low reflex save.
Necklace of missiles.
blows up a fire ball centered on him, if he fails ALL the beads blow up as well.

 

[Kyramus]

I am born of a dragon!
Potion of fire breath
potion of bull's strength
potion of protection from elements fire
potion of alter self
used by a fighter or barbarian.

Does anybody else miss the old 'potion miscibility' table from 1e?

I do, but going with the flow of the system, with enough preparation time many things can happen.

Not until a monk quaffed a potion of bulls strength, cat's grave, endurance and wisdom one after the other.

I was wishing fot a gut-ache then and there. Or an explosion. I ain't picky.
