Second attempt at creating coat of arms for Barukkhizdin.


Second attempt, same technique as before.

The writings this time are done in Moria's runes (not sure if I should use Erebor's runes, will check). Also, font used is from http://www.dwarrowscholar.com/

I have tried to use some of the effects on the writing, but with little success.

Containers for magic potions and scrolls in Dungeons and Dragons

Image
Even the most common scroll or potion has a crafting cost of 25 gp (according to the Xanathar's Guide to Everything). According to this article , using the conversion of 1 cp = 1 euro (or 1 $), we could evaluate this as 2,500 Euros (or $); we can also compare this value to the cost of hiring an unskilled hireling, which is 2 sp/day (according to DnD Player's Handbook); so, with 25 gp we could by the services of such an hireling for 125 days, which is approximately 4 months.

I have devised the following table, based on the rarity of the magic work contained. For each ca...

Trenitalia e gli Eurostar

No, non è ovvio. Questo, che secondo me è un servizio che dovrebbero pubblicizzare, non viene praticamente mai menzionato. Contenti loro.

Magic objects, artwork and DMG

Image
  I always had the idea that magic items in Dungeons and Dragons and in RPG should be treated more like artworks or at most highly skilled craftworks than normal, mundane objects. As such, we should never forget that they have been crafted by someone, for someone else, with a purpose in mind. There is a very handy table in chapter 7 of the DMG, with four different tables for the Special Features of the magic objects. I think that rolling on these tables will add a lot of flavor to your magical objects, and help you create a little lore for your world. Let me show you how. I will start with a "simple" longsword +1, which is an uncommon magical object, and roll on the four tables for it. On the first table (who created or was intended to use it), I roll a 5. So, the weapon was created by celestials, or was intended to be used by celestials; it weights half the normal weight, and has engraved motifs of sun, wings, and other possible symbols of good. Fiends find the item's pr...
