Message: <blockquote data-quote="tglassy" data-source="post: 7446932" data-attributes="member: 6855204">Things I've gotten as a player:Rod of Security.  Me and my party just got out of a dungeon, having barely escaped, only to get caught by a side bad guy that we had escaped twice inside the dungeon (I had a tendency to wiggle out of my DM's traps).  The guy grabs my character, shoves a sock in his mouth (to keep him from talking more of his men into attacking him), and tells me either I give him the magical items we found in the dungeon or he kills us. I ask the DM "Is my hand free?"  He says, "Yes, please try something."  I said, "Ok, I reach around to my pack, grab the Rod of Security strapped to the outside (I had specified this beforehand) and press the button.  Me and my team are instantly transported to a Beautiful Desert Oasis, complete with gorgeous serving girls willing to wait on us hand and foot."  Dm says, "D*** it, Tony, you get out of everything!"Frostbrand Rapier: Became my character's iconic weapon.  Considering he was rogue who could halve damage when he FAILED a dex save, halving fire damage even further was amaz-ah-zing.  Best items given out as a DM:Vorpal Sword to a lvl 8 Champion Fighter.  They all decide to take a long rest in the middle of a Dracolich's lair, because they have Leomund's Tiny Hut.  They didn't leave a watch.  They wake up surrounded by skeletons and a Dracolich, who's head is inches from the top of the 'hut', waiting for it to go down.  They all get ready, drop the hut, and the fighter wins initiative.  Crit.  Dracolich's head goes rolling.  Then they the Dracolich gets a new body and attacks again.  They get away, barely, only one surviving with enough hit points to get them all to the Astral Plane using his Staff of the Magi I gave him (I wanted everyone to have legendary items).  They find the Dracolich's secret chamber with the Phylactery.  The Dracolich is obviously waiting for them, and prepared this time.  He activates his Fear, and the Fighter fails his save.  Yes!  He closes in, the fighter attacks with disadvantage.  First attack of the battle: 19.  And 20.  He's a Champion. He crits on a 19.  He lops off the Dracolich's head right as the party Warlock, with the Staff of the Magi, casts Banish on the Phylactery.  The Phylactery is not on the same plane of existence when the Dracolich dies.  Therefore, it is snuffed out.  Truly dead.  OMG.  Huge battle planned.  Done in moments.  Vorpal Swords are awesome, but even more so in the hands of a Champion Fighter.  I know technically the sword doesn't cut off a head on a Crit, it has to be a roll of 20, but I find that a poor distinction and have no qualms with changing it to work on a Crit instead of a roll of 20.  I suppose this would be even worse for an assassin...</blockquote>
