Mysterious Wonderwares
Added 2019-05-03 09:05:05 +0000 UTCThis month I'll be adding a couple of bonus things to the Patreon after having been challenged to do some art "collabs" by a fellow creator on instagram. As he generally focuses on magical items, I decided to start creation of my own set of what I call my mysterious wonderwares. The design was made with a possible printed set in cards for the future and might see some changes over time in order to find good icons to display the core abilities of each item.
I've dropped the first two in the Back Catalogue for you to find! I'm also opening up the suggestion box on discord so people can post their ideas for magical items in there as well.

yeah, I do indeed currently fall back on spell stats to help me build items. I don't have enough knowledge of 5E to make them completely up myself and don't have the time to spend a lot of time studying the system. For now, I'll keep building them in this fashion and might expand once I start getting a feel for it. I've actually tried to do collabs with people who do have the know-it-all to build completely unique items but it was quite the hassle to get any work done. It might change in the future but for now I'm focused more on art / design / concept and trying to keep it as close as possible to what I know is balanced (meaning existing content to guide my creations)

I would suggest charge abilities that aren't exactly the same as existing spells though (looks like you got Burning Hands, Scorching Ray, and Erupting Earth here). Some kind of innate pushing on hit if a DC is failed could be fitting (and not particularly powerful, mostly just a fun flavor thing) too, as surges of water blast out on impact to shove the target around like the tides.

2019-05-03 19:04:52 +0000 UTCThe collab hasn't taken place yet, as I wanted to design my own unique layout for magic items first. This first item is completely my own. It's also not really an art collab in the sense that we are doing a single piece together more of a challenge where we are going both create items designed with the same very loose concepts in mind and see who comes up with what. At first I am just planning on us each coming up with an assigment ourselves and afterwards possibly having people give us assigments to create our unique take on the concept. The fella I'll be kicking these of with goes by the username jaaamesperrett
