this sounds like a good time to tell a story about an item you got or were given just because you/they thought it was cool. |
6th May 2016, 8:23 AM"silver sword"
one of my players had a silver sword before the game because he thought it would be cool. I didn't warn him about how soft silvers was.... anyway halfway into our first combat he bent the sword against a shield. when he asked me how that happened I had to tell him that silver is a soft metal and therefore it might look cool but be utterly useless..... except against creatures weak to it |

In fiction where they are used silver swords usually aren't pure silver but a mix. |

So I had homebrewed a Negative-channeling Druid class called Leafblight for a character in my Ponyfinder campaign. |

I once picked up two crystal balls, each about an inch wide. One had a swirling darkness inside, and the other held a glimmering white light. I put them on either ends of a plaited leather belt because I thought they were neat. They were sitting on the villain's desk. |

The first campaign I was in, first mission, we attacked and then negotiated with a goblin tribe for a couple of magic items we were sent out for, and I don't remember why but we ended up deciding the quest giver was shady and attacking him (we were right but I don't remember what tipped us off) |

Not so sure about "cool", but my very first D&D campaign was with a DM who was super into house-modding. He created his own magic items (among other things). The first battle reward my Star-Path Warlock ever received was a set of leather armor that, basically, glowed in the dark (IIRC, it actually was a bit beneficial when combined with my Boon). Anyway, he gave it some name like "Armor of Twilight Sepulchre", or something like that, which quickly got bastardized into the "Armor of Twilight Sparkle". |

In a 3.5 Campaign I got a graft after getting injured but rather then replacing my lost arm I was given a wing that gave me flight. Later on I re-grew the other arm so I was Sephiroth(which was helped by the fact my flight movement speed was double my 50ft movement. |

DM tried to railroad us by making the door we needed to pass through to advance the story made of a unidentifiable invulnerable material. druid used a stone shaping spell to make the door fall out of the frame and the party barbarian used it as a giant shield/club combo for the rest of the campaign complete with enchantments. |

That has happened more than once in the games I have been party to... |
6th May 2016, 11:31 PM"Don't make the vault worth more than the contents"
That reminds me of a time when our group was trying to steal from a bank by breaking into a vault. To make things difficult for us, the DM chose to make the vault door of solid adamantium ... we put the vault door into a portable hole. I sadly cannot remember how we got the door off the hinges, but that vault door turned out to be worth more than the contents of the vault. |

In this one campaign, I bought several empty bottles and a large keg of Dwarven Fire Whiskey. Just for the sake of making Molotov Cocktails. Which are cool. Plus my premade Sorcerer didn't have any AOE spells |

We're just starting up a 15-years-into-the-future-commandos-in-the-jungle action hero campaign. In GURPS. |

Ten thousand Beli says that special ability is or is tied to unlocking Conqueror's Haki. |

But I'm gonna go with gear second and third since those are kinda like haste and (partial?) Enlarge person(self). |
8th May 2016, 2:07 AM
For my money I'm going with gear 5th or higher. I expect it to happen when most of us have forgotten it exists. |
6th May 2016, 1:58 PM
In the current 5e campaign I'm in, we happened across a cane fashioned into the visage of a scorpion. Thinking that it had to be important, my gnome rogue/alchemist grabbed it out of instinct and began experimenting with unleashing some magic power. Still nothing yet, but our dwarf has used dragonbone to forge it into a threaded cane more fitting of my style. |
7th May 2016, 2:17 PM
In a 5E campaign I played in, my character started off having been raised by wild animals. Because of that the DM decided that all my equipment would essentially be stuff my character either found or pieced together and would have a high chance of breaking. |

Am I the only one that wants Luffy's Gear Second and Gear Third to be Hat Magic? |
11th Nov 2017, 10:57 AM
The hat magic would probably be the thing that let the sea king or the giant elephan talk to him. (and somehow allowed Roger to understand the poneglyph). |

composite bow/bazooka. Was planning on getting a composite zweihander/knuckledusters. Note: when I say composite here it means the weapon has two forms it can shift between |
