Both of these things added to my list, and that second one is definitely being used to pull at the heartstrings of my party at some point. I swear I'm malicious for how much I do this

In a video about the worst homebrew magic items, I come across a comment which describes the best magic item

Does the act of throwing the stick conjure the ethereal dog? Or is the stick the anchor of a bound spirit dog?

@@devonm042690 good question. I guess my version would be the dog is bound to the stick and whenever its thrown, the magic activates and the dog relives its favorite memories of its owner and itself playing fetch. But, because I don't know when to stop, I would probably also make the bone burnt and the dog be obviously fire-damaged, but he doesn't act like it. Then my players would be obsessed with finding out what happened and the new BBEG would be the guy who burned the dog and boy while they played fetch in a fireball because he was bored. :)

I think it's a joke item based on the darkvision thing. That seems to be a joke about the anime eyes (big eyes = see better)

"The DM's poorly disguised fetish"

The anime girl ring sounds like a zombie virus that can only be spread with a kiss or hugs what would happen when a careless player or DM decides to throw the whole into chaos and be patient zero of the giggle horde or something that someone who can come up with a better name for that zombie virus or plague

It could be an interesting magic item for a one shot campaign trying to figure out how to stop the curse.

I like the anime ring is built to spread like a curse on the planet to turn all things into anime weeb creatures.

Personally I kind of see the sword (minus the whole 50-100 damage thing) pretty interesting, and just a little different. The idea that disintegration is always just "the entire item poofs into dust" always bugged me. What law of even magic determines what one item is? A magic effect can't discern what a sentient being considers a single whole object and that really has always made me believe that the whole disintegration thing would have to be more direct. I feel like the sword, specifically the blade, would essentially de-atomize anything it comes in contact with, slicing through mundane materials and leaving no displaced debris in its place, but only where it came in contact with. So a stealth would be completely useless, but you could set it down, simply you'd have to be careful. The blade guard doesn't have the same effect like the rest of the hilt (or else the wielder just loses their hand when picking it up) and just slices a sword shaped hole in the dirt when put down. Dangerous? Obviously. Completely unmanageable? I honestly don't think so. I also like the idea that it's only mundane materials, so magic items and creatures, or even spell effects could nullify its effect. Thank you for coming to my TED talk about a random magic item.

So let the wielder walk up to the BBEG, brag about their awesome disintegrating sword, and get murked. BBEG picks up the sword, intending to say something sarcastic.

TF did you even find this? As far as I can tell, the only mention to this is some random fandom website, and nothing else.

To get the same mass as Earth, you would need about 478 sextillion skeletons (4.78×10²³). Since Earth is ~2.98 times as dense as bone, the skeleton planet would be 9168km in radius, and would have a surface gravity of 4.74m/s² (48% Earth gravity). To get 1g at the surface, you would need 4.22 septillion skeletons (4.22*10²⁴), a planet with 8.8 times the mass of Earth, and a radius of 18,956km (2.97 times Earth). 43,010,752,700,000,000,000 Skeletons (43 quintillion, 43*10¹⁹), would be just 0.01% the mass of earth, with 2% the surface gravity, comparable to Ceres. Not enough to clear it's orbit, but enough to round out into a nice bony sphere.

@@TlalocTemporal I'd like to know how you got the radius. The closer to the core the skeleton would be the more 'force" would it experience, eventually reaching a point where it would be crushed. Did you take this into account?

@@balintkeszthelyi1293 -- I did not take compression into account, no. (Forgot to mention that, oops) The radius is calculated from only the mass assuming a constant density of 1.85g/cm³ and that the skeletons crush solid easily. If that average density rose to, say, 2.50g/cm³, the 1 earth mass planet would be 8292km to the center, and have 5.8m/s² at the surface (0.59g). The 1g planet would be 14,040km in radius, 4.85 Earths in mass, and 2.32 septillion skelies strong (2.32*10²⁴, only 55% the uncompressed version!). I have no basis for 2.50g/cm³ (not a lot of people think about the behaviour of bone at hundreds of gigapascals), but it's neatly between the ~1.85g/cm³ of intended use bone, and Earth's ~5.51g/cm³. That's probably not too far off, seeing as calcium and phosphorus are 1.55g/cm³ and 1.82g/cm³, while diamond is ~3.52g/cm³. It would probably change over time as the organic components ferment, then either rise to the surface with the water, or sink and become diamonds, and the released heat might drive bone slurry volcanoes full of diamonds.

I think the answer is one very very very big skeleton. No rules stating that the undead Creature has to be from the mm so why not just summon one super-mega-ultra-omega-skeleton and let the sun perish

I was thinking since the skeletons are made of mostly carbon if we put a bunch together they’ll immediately collapse into a white dwarf. Hurl that at the sun and the denser white dwarf will eat the outer layers until it passes the 1.44 solar mass limit and boom - type a1 supernova.
