A tidal wave of loot kicks off book 3. Help me out here.
Added 2024-12-13 16:42:34 +0000 UTCAlright, so I started writing Chapter 84 which is right around where we are starting book three and the exploration of Floor 6+, and I realized I need to come up with A LOT of new Relics for the party and it's slowing down the chapter designing and balancing. I've separated them into 4 categories if you wanna help. I even wrote in a basic guide for how I'm designing them.
#1: We have auction items. these are Sacrifices or Relics with 10-20 total stat bonuses, 1-3 affixes, and these items may be tailored for any character you wish, with archetype or Ability boosts that match them, because in the context of the story, the Party members are each sorting through a large pile to find the synergistic items they want and setting aside the rest. The ones they choose will be the ones written about and the rest will be a undefined pile because I'm not making up a thousand items, damnit.
#2: the pearls. These items are probably going to include 1 amulet/ring that suits Will, a coin with a weird dimensional effect, some personal effects of no value, and maybe a weapon or two. I need about a dozen random items of various power. All items will have dimensional effects of some kind or another. useful or just interesting. it was a gamble after all, so bad items would be appreciated. Dimensional toilet paper?
#3: Mark Wyrd's Rings+ amulet. 15-25 stats. 2+ affixes. focus on lifesteal, damage manipulation, status effect resistance, etc. So I need to finally define what those Relics do. Ideas that have been put forward are boosting lifesteal on taking damage (which I repurposed for the dagger of sublime retribution) and converting CC status effects into plain damage (which would be highly advantageous for his build to avoid getting neutralized by CC)
#4: Nephir Akul's relics. Rings, amulet, headband. 15-25 stats, 2+ affixes, each. Boosts to Nuker abilities and shield effects/manipulation. Yes. This is a huge windfall for Mason, because his Build starting point is identical.
Relic slots for reference:
Rings, Feet, Legs, Neck, Head, Hands, Torso.
As an aside, does anyone know where I can find a character sheet program online that allows me to fill in those exact slots with custom content?
Right now I'm using an Excel spreadsheet, and it's clunky. Will include it at the bottom. it's a bit... messy and incomplete, but still slightly useful. And it'll demonstrate how badly I need to change my strategy keeping track of equipment.
If we can't find a good tracking program, I'll change it to vertical information, 1 page per person instead of clumping them all together in a confusing list. Sometimes writing problems out helps me think.
As always, ridiculously overpowered items will most likely be skipped/nerfed, while interesting items will more likely be at least mentioned.
Items that aren't used directly go into the pile to fund the creation of a Stronghold on the 10th Floor.
I'm excited to see what kind of cool stuff you guys think of!
In the comments, assign the group number and the person it's for to the suggestion to help me out with sorting the items.

Fuck you - a chopped off hand of something humanoid forever raising the middle finger. It’s a belt buckle.

2025-01-31 02:17:19 +0000 UTCLoth: Bottle of infinite scale polish. For 1 charge applies a lustrous shine to scaled humanoids. 10% chance to deflect a single attack causing scales to look dulled and lifeless. May attract aggro of enemies with low mental stats. Can only be applied out of combat consuming a single charge.

2025-01-22 09:44:06 +0000 UTCFirstly: is it from super suporitive? Second: it would be curse of old wounds, where heals that weren't done naturally (not including hastened natural healing) can be undone through said curse

2024-12-21 00:52:29 +0000 UTCI know i am a little late to the party. Pearl Item - Contact Lense of Holding: Dimensional storage Item that allows you to see inside the dimensional storage and manifests items directly in front of your eye. Original use was to record what you see and lets you review them. (Doesn’t fit any relic slot I know. Just liked the idea)

2024-12-16 09:01:04 +0000 UTCCoin of Lensing A coin which, when flipped, alters the next ability the user activates. When the Concave side lands face up, the area the affected ability applies to increases the further it is from the user. When the Convex side lands face up, potency of the affected ability increases the nearer it is to where it is targeted. intentionally left out of description are downsides of reduced potency when spread over greater area and reduced area when potency increased, degree to which ability is affected increases with higher toss/more rotations, and ability to rig results by weighting a side down with charge.

2024-12-16 06:46:53 +0000 UTC#3 Mark Wyrd - Ring of BoneWeight. Line of sight invisible attack. +3 Focus, +6 Kinesthetics : Targets bones (or chitin) to, when joining an attack, become [ATTACK STRENGTH] times as heavy, flesh and tendon cannot bear the weight of such heavy bones. Joints misalign, timing and balance fails, agony in bone joints as lubricant just can't, and it's bone on bone. Bones break, joints wear out, arthritis afflicts. If you cleverly reflect the attack, the attack instead turns your bones light, and uncontrollably lifts you off the ground. Duration 2 X Kinesthetics seconds

2024-12-16 03:36:09 +0000 UTC2. A coin shaped like a star. It has the ability to absorb bad smells from around it but only at a slow pace. IE: hold in your mouth for 30 minutes and bad breath is gone. When the coin is full. It will emit a whine and a glow. Then rapidly shoot all those bad smells out to it's immediate vicinity. You have no control over when it's full but do not be present when it goes off. And it's been ready to go off for a long time...

2024-12-16 01:35:48 +0000 UTC#2: Anti-Dimensional Ring: Passively increases resistance to dimensional effects on the wearer. For one Charge, user may disable dimensional effects within 3 meters of the ring - this can be used to turn regular dimensional rings inside out if you want. If the resistance includes positive effects depends on how useful you want it to be.
JACOB HEBERT
2024-12-15 20:12:46 +0000 UTCThe Miserable Misericorde: : +6 Kinesthesia. +11 Strength. This dagger has a small, narrow point to its blade that cannot be dulled. For charge this dagger penetrates 1 layer of armor per layer of protection. For example, this attack can bypass the many layers of protection a Wyrd would have, with each layer of thorns costing a charge.
chris
2024-12-15 06:57:12 +0000 UTCI was thinking for her an amulet that can help with her mental resistance. That it would take half her stats and dump them all into her focus temporarily. It would let her resist charm effects but severely weaken all her strength and regeneration. Kind of like an oh shit button for her.

Macronomicon
2024-12-14 16:02:48 +0000 UTCdon't worry about the balancing so much. all ideas are going through the 'me' filter. If there's a fun idea in there but it's too powerful, usually i can tweak it to retain the fun without destabilizing.
Macronomicon
2024-12-14 15:56:54 +0000 UTChow about a witch hat of the evil eye?
Macronomicon
2024-12-14 15:55:02 +0000 UTCIn group one for one of the nukers or for Alice, the reversed cursed witches hat, creates a field of misfortune around the wearer, making projects miss or destabilise, melees to lose traction etc basically the opponent gets cursed when trying to harm the wearer. Can be made of witches skin and turn the user into a flying rodent if they shout the command word….BAT.

2024-12-14 15:47:09 +0000 UTC2: Bag of bag This is a very physically large dimensional bag, but the circumstances of its creation have caused it to get stuffed inside itself and tangled up. You can reach into the opening to pull out more and more of the bag, but it will eventually catch and you'll need to reach in again for a new piece to pull on. It may have taken on some permanently knotted shape and be impossible to untangle. Or maybe it's just really hard.

2024-12-14 14:18:37 +0000 UTCDimensional trash, Bib of the Gourmand/Cannibal: Enlarges the wearers mouth certain amount (based on some stat) to envelop objects. Does not actually improve biting force.

2024-12-14 11:41:13 +0000 UTCJust as a programm recommendation I can recommend ms one note. You should hav access to it if you have excel You can create notebooks which have chapters which have sub pages. You can hyperlink between each and fill them with a mix of text, files, charts, etc. I use it for running D&D campaigns which feels similar to keeping track of a books progress including characters and enables you to easily link character pages with a click so you don't forget any connections they might have to each other. :) I'll try to think of some items but there are many cool ideas here already and I'm not confident in understanding your balancing tight now tbh

2024-12-14 09:01:37 +0000 UTCFuck me. Thats a lot.
Emily Gurnavage
2024-12-14 06:46:05 +0000 UTCOn another fiction I read there was a 'curse of old wounds' - which I thought was brilliant - bringing that idea over to this universe, I'm thinking that If a priest like Steve were to have an anti-heal debuff like that, and you cast it at an enemy, and one of their past wounds (within a point bracket based on the casters level) could reoccur. For example, if Steve were to cast it on Will, he might get re-inflicted with that fugal spoor attack from the 4th floor. No attack needed, it just bypasses everything and manifests as an injury again. Not the spoors, just the injury. Turning it into an artifact, it could be an amulet or a bracer, or even matching arm guards, one heals, one casts old wounds'.

2024-12-14 04:46:36 +0000 UTCFirst in group one: Warhammer of Stability, this is a one handed hammer on a long handle with a hooked spike on the back. It is dull grey like lead with brass accents and a pebbles leather grip. +* To resistance +* physicality Expend one charge while blocking to negate the inertia of a blow against you. By striking a limb on the ground said limb becomes fixed in place for up to(stat/2) seconds. That one is for Reggie Hair comb of Synesthesia, a silver hair comb with mother of pearl inlay and prismatic blue gemstones inset. No idea for stats Allows wearer to apply bonuses and abilities intended for one sence to another at will. Causes escalating confusion, vertigo, and hallucinations to anyone who is looking at the wearer with hostile intent, the longer they look the worse it gets. This is ment for Alicia obviously, it would allow her hearing to penetrate walls but might also make her smell people's bones. For group 2: a. Dimensional storage ring but instead of the classic style it acts like a portable hole. It has a cubic meter of storage space but can only hold things that can pass through the finger hole of the Ring. When the ring is worn the finger is in the dimensional storage and disappears. I originally came up with this as a throwaway item, but it might be something that Will could find a use for. This next one would be good for Alicia or possibly June. A quiver of instant arrows. These arrows after being fired from the bow travel instantly to impact the target without crossing the intervening space. There would of course be a limited number of the arrows to keep it from being abused. A flower pot that actually contains a full acres worth of dirt. I think that one would be good for Loth as a place to house some of her insects. The only thing that I can think of for group 3 is a ring or something that allows the castor to put shields further away from themselves but makes the shield stronger the closer it is to the caster.

2024-12-14 03:37:28 +0000 UTCA sacrifice that lets the tank ‘Take Two for the Team’ is both amusing as a name and a big qualitative upgrade if it lets him protect two at once, while not being world breaking bc he’d need the defenses/health to survive three allies worth of tanking
Jordan Leighton
2024-12-14 03:14:01 +0000 UTCFor dimensional trash, maybe a Spoon of holding; all it does is increase the volume of liquid it can hold, like you could scoop up an entire bowl of soup in one small spoon. The reversed cloak of expansion, rather than being bigger on the inside, it makes the outside bigger than the inside, a pseudo gigantification effect when wearing it A dagger that shrinks if you expend charge making it effectively useless
Ryan
2024-12-14 02:16:59 +0000 UTCAccidentally pressed enter instead of shift enter once so hope you saw the second part as well. Let me know if ya need more or have a specific path idea for will, love doing this :)
Aloysius
2024-12-14 01:34:03 +0000 UTCMaybe an amulet/ring that sacrifices a different kind of relic slot but allows two(?) duplicates to wear different relics of said sacrificed slot to gain the effects of (effects aren't given to original), basically giving up two slots to give the duplicates a specific boost each
Aloysius
2024-12-14 01:30:27 +0000 UTCBoots of Boost: the further the next step is away from the last, the faster you go, gives charm and gives wind/sound resistance (due to speed lol) based on charm scaling
Aloysius
2024-12-14 01:26:21 +0000 UTCI could mayhaps recommend Fantasia Archive for a character sheet? Its free and I quite like it, it is geared towards writing with quite an eye towards dnd/litrpg i suppose
Aloysius
2024-12-14 01:17:25 +0000 UTCyes, and the next sacrifice after the lunar chronos eel would be twice as strong, but happen a twenty eighth as often. To offset how good this would be it would make all light effects more effective on Will, no matter whether those effects are beneficial or detrimental. Lunar for the 28 and light effect, chronos for time, and eel for before and after because eels have multiple metamorphoses in their life cycle.
Thomas
2024-12-14 00:37:45 +0000 UTCI could see this functioning as a disposable item for most classes who have higher than X REsistance, and a death sentence for those below.
Macronomicon
2024-12-13 23:57:06 +0000 UTCThis is a bit hard to parse. The previous sacrifice would be...axolotl? So the effect is limb regeneration, which would be halved, but the tick rate would bee way faster?
Macronomicon
2024-12-13 23:55:08 +0000 UTCNeck or Head - Mouth Harp of Miss-placed Mockery: Taunts, Distractions and re-directions of aggro made using the annoying mouth harp can be made to sound as if coming from anywhere within your range of vision. (Taunt the enemy onto the potted fern, the art deco lamp or the polar bear rug)
Ryan Bimson
2024-12-13 23:49:56 +0000 UTCThere's some good ones in there.
Macronomicon
2024-12-13 23:39:29 +0000 UTCGroup type #2s: 1. Bandages that absorb all blood and filth into a dimensional storage (breaking it lets it all out and all pus/blood/whatnot is just as fresh as when it got absorbed. Does have a volume limit so as to not be able to drain too big pools of water...) 2. Pants that give charm boost but the pockets are dimensionally enlarged when you reach into them (look like female pants...) 3. Map that you can keep unfolding to be able to write more on it (turning it around so you see the back lets you go up or down a floor depending which way you turn it) 4. Spatially enlarged shoes (These will fit no one...) 5. Massive ring that shrinks everyone/anything that passes through it temporarily (the more mass*volume it shrinks interconnectedly the shorter the durations and the more it is used after each other the less it shrinks until everything it shrank has returned to normal, such that having a stream of water going through it counts for using it a lot after each other and shrinking a gold statue doesn't last for long, because it is a ring it has to be worn) 6. Deck of cards that always remains full (if you pull a card out of it, it is in a juxtaposition where if you damage the card you pulled out you also damage the one in the deck as well as any other copies you pulled out of it, the deck is fully random and can't be shuffled, a card pulled out of the deck can be 'cancelled' by putting it back in, combining a full deck from juxtacopies allows that deck to also cancel or pull new copies, but the deck relic is completely broken if less than two cards remain whole in a deck) 7. Club that gain volume and mass for as long as you hold it (when let go it immediately shrinks even further than that its baseline depending on how big it had gotten, think of pulling an elastic band and it snapping back before being normal again, slowly enlarges) 8. Bow that can be pulled back further and further (the bowstring keeps lengthening so you don't actually get more tension but it would let you use comically large arrows I suppose) 9. Acoustic music instrument which sounds echo in closed spaces more than it should (the strength of the sound is strengthened to be just as loud in the enlarged echoing space as it would have been in the normal dimensions) Group type #3: 1. Ring that converts pain from received injuries to thorns (sadly, broken hearts only count if they are literal) 2. Amulet that creates a shield that has thorns (if Mark has/had a ring that converted some lifesteal/regen to shield regen then that could be a softset?) 3. Amulet that lets him select one, or more, CC effect(s) that instead become(s) damage over time for the duration of the CC 4. Ring that converts slow CC to health regen. 5. Ring that gives a few percentage lifesteal/thorns for the day depending how many charges get spent on it for that day with a cap. 6. Amulet that reduces being displaced my others and converts the reduced displacement into damage 7. Ring that very temporarily boosts lifesteal and health regen depending on shed blood/bleeding injuries (consumes the blood that's shed quickly but not immediately, only takes fresh blood, the higher the lifesteal and health regen due to shed blood the quicker it depletes, the depletion rate rises far faster than the lifesteal and health regen does, is a softset with the blood absorbing bandages from type2item1. Group type#4: 1. Ring that enriches any flames/flame abilities with more oxygen 2. Headband that lets any active shields also shield against extreme temperatures and also lets how much the shield has to protect against these extreme temperatures improve Fire/Frost abilities depending on what time extreme. 3. Ring that let any heat from Fire abilities that don't do damage stay within a certain radius (thus heating up the radius even more due to not losing that excess heat) Group type#1: Alicia: 1. Quiver that attaches an ethereal rope to every arrow you put in, costs a charge to reel the rope back in (of course a limit of how heavy something you could reel back in depending on stats and if it resits or not) 2. Reading glasses that lets people focus on nearby text/objects and even 'highlights' any letters and numbers (the fact that alicia can see very far away combines with the 'focus on nearby text/objects' to let her zoom in while using them, the 'highlights any letters and numbers' lets her know there is text somewhere and by focusing where she knows is text and where isn't she can kind of eventually figure out which letters or numbers she isn't seeing) 3. High heels that lets her do more damage against anyone she is positioned higher than (checks their relative eye heights) 4. Sacrifice of a Flying Snapper (flying fish but then piranha/eel style) that lets arrows shot continue on their own trajectory for a while (like the arrow whistling from guardians of the galaxy) 5. Sacrifice of a Shadow parasite (invades your shadow and slowly debuffs you to death, preference for lifesteal and it has overheal for doing so) that either lets her attack through insubstantial means (such as shooting someone's shadow now inflicting damage, whereby any shadow connected to said shadow counts as their shadow as well for damaging purposes) or gives any injuries she caused a curse/parasite summon that slowly increases their debuffs and/or gives slowly increasing general lifesteal if the injury isn't treated. Mason: (eh let him have Nephirs shit I suppose) (current items I thought of makes him a high quality summoner, was interesting) 1. Amulet that changes his damage type to an adjacent damage type and is kinda random but sets itself after being worn once (adjacent such as that acid and fire both 'burn' but that fire and gravity have barely any adjacentness and as such isn't likely to be selected when worn) 2. Amulet that instead lets you spawn an elemental sprite, looks like navi from zelda, when trying to use an ability (the ability used decides the sprite's elemental type, personality and defensive/offensive/utility focus. Needs to be fed with the same ability through use of the amulet once per [time] and will disappear if the ability is used again but isn't fed to it. Limit on how many abilities give rise to sprites based on stats? Only abilities you can spend a charge activate this) 3. Ring that lets you spend a charge on passive abilities to slightly empower them temporarily (this ring lets passive abilities count as active for the amulet of type1Mason2) 4. Whip weapon that gives shielding based on the damage summons do and take with the active ability letting you deal full lethal damage to a friendly summon 5. Ring that increases the damage summons do as well as take 6. Sacrifice of an item/creature mimic, lets the ability assume a solid shape mimicing an item or creature, can shape them by focussing on them (this would either let him shape his fire or shields into items, lets the sprites shapeshift themselves into any usefull item, heat and such from any such ability shapeshifted items would count as friendly fire (literally if it is a friendly sprite lol)) 7. Sacrifice of a Glacier Whale (Looks like a regular glacier in the sea but then rises up to reveal it was a whale, grows semi solid ice on its back that hardens when it wants to rise and becomes far more fluid like water when it wants to sink) that lets abilities take on some properties of its semi solid ice (basically so the fire ability can become solid on Mason's will to either give burning blunt damage or become an impromptu shield) Loth: 1. Ring that switches the effects of a discovered trap with an nearby undiscovered trap (unsure if to make it only work on traps discovered by enemies and if to make it only switch with traps made by the wearer, and whether it needs an charge cost) 2. Kidnap ball, could come from group type 2, lets you capture entities and put them into a dimensional ball from which they can't escape if successfully captured, can be opened again to release said entities, all released entities are beserk and enraged and will only not attack their fellow kidnapping victims (all boosts and such from connected parties remain in tact of course despite them being beserk and enraged) 3. Sacrifice of a flesh golem hive queen (so you know how there are wasps that make their nests out of a kind of meat substance? What if a small colony of those instead made a flesh golem where they also attached body parts of deceased monsters/people to get a shadow of their abilities?) that lets her incorporate monster parts into traps that enact part of their innate abilities. Travis: 1. Panflute gauntlets, has wood/reed tubes on the back of each finger on the gaunlet that mesmerises one enemy type that hears it, they will then in a daze follow behind the user for as long as they play (they can also be mentally given instructions that they all will follow as long as it pertains to following a route and will not directly harm them, pied piper vibes) 2. Dastard's cape that instead makes any taunt abilities only target anyone that is behind the user while anyone in front instead gets the urge to make way/space for the user, gives minus charisma but makes people that lost sight of the culprit slowly forget them/forcefully lose their agro. 3. Sacrifice of a haunted puppet that lets him switch his taunt into a fear effect while also letting him move faster towards any feared target that can't see him anymore (creepy bloody haunted dolls and all that, moving when you don't see them) Reggie: 1. Boots that connects to whatever surface he stands on and makes him harder to move the longer he stands still, can cause part of the surface he stands on to come away with him if the effect is over powered however. 2. War banner that lets him use his protection effect on more people 3. Ring that gives him shield and damage reduction depending on the number of different damage sources (the damage absorbed from people he protects could count as separate than if the same if that same person that attacked them also is damaging him) 4. Sacrifice of the Hobo Crab (like hermit crab but bigger and can use everything such as buildings or ships as it shell, but is very aggressive) that lets him apply his own resilience partially/to protect the environment/boost the resilience of the people he protects (which would then of course also lower the damage he takes through protecting them) June: 1. Sacrifice of an wheathobgoblin shaman which lets her imbue her arrows with the 'spirit' of plants (such as giving her arrow poison properties through the use of an poisonous mushroom or giving her arrow penetrating/rooting properties through the use of a particular carnivorous vine) 2. Cape that lets her transform into the last animal/monster she has stained the cape with blood with, size difference is a factor that limits the transformations but there must also be enough blood on the cape (if the cape is washed, accidentally or not, then it is reset. When transformed only the cape will adapt to still be worn regardless of the size change) 3. Sacrifice of a munition ant that lets her shape other munition than just arrows so that will could also use them and/or so that she could make even more interesting projectiles 4. Sacrifice of the island tree (like the world tree but instead only keeps a floating island together with its roots, roots that will attack) that lets het take control of any flora she shoots/that has one of her arrows in it (if alicia uses one of her arrows for an arrow rain then June could control a wide range of Flora) Breanna: (no clue what would be interesting or would affect her build lol) 1. ??? 2. Amulet of regretful moments, reduces strength but increases will, makes the user remember the past better, especially important moments in their life, spend charges to have access to once more have access to a previous version of an ability (still have to spend charges on said ability and will revert to the current version after use, the further back upgrade wise the previous version is the more charges you have to spend to access it) 3. Ring of delegation, spend a charge and divest a portion of cc effects and/or debuffs upon an ally/summon/clone, while in exchange giving them strength and focus for a separate duration. Will: (could basically be anything that gives opportunity for interesting synergies lol) 1. Swordhilt that with a charge absorbs materials it touches and uses it to form a temporary swordblade (could make the phantom hand 'solid' and maybe even absorb other relics which strengthens/shapes the blade depending on what physical stats the relic gave) 2. Turtleshell shield that disperses any force the user receives over a far wider area (given newtons laws, will standing somewhere exerts pressure on the surface he stands on and vice versa, thus improving his aspect) 3. Lamp that gives light and anyone that sees it feels compelled to look at the light 4. halved scissors (so only one blade) that form ethereal copies beside it that slash the same target, the ethereal copies can combine into full scissors which can very easily break cloth relics and cut through other thin planes 5. Sacrifice of a fake serpent (you know, those limbless lizards?) for I suppose aspect that makes him stand out less as different (but only in a bad way?) and also gives more environmental protection maybe 6. Boots that form a small platform under themselves but can only do so once after having been on the 'ground' (Will could extend these platforms to the surface area that aspects provides as well as have these platforms rise up to meet his feet once again if he jumps off of them, temporarily forming a flexible barrier wall, he could also have the ground rise up to meet him to once more activate the boots) 7. Sacrifice of the poltergeist, gives the ability to still affect items if recently touched/if there is a link (for either phantom hand or titan's grasp, PH so that Will loses his own relics not as easily, for TG if taken so that he can pick up further away items using TG and not just weapons/items in his hand that PH would struggle with) 8. Piercing Root spear (of island tree monster) that lets you feel vibrations through the area you stand on around you, has an active that lets you charge forwards as long as you are touching the ground. 9... for any more I need more inspiration for a direction for these lol fun to think of these, a pleasure

Mondred
2024-12-13 21:43:37 +0000 UTCMight be an idea to make an item based around splitting with Brianna, perhaps based around giving more stats when split or speeding up separation or something along those lines. It all depends on what role she will have in the party going forward. A necklace that is shared between duplicates that allows 1 other piece of gear to be shared out of slot so 1 split has one less item but all the others benefit of an extra. Would play into the dimensional aspect of the oyster auction items. Could also make something that does the opposite and buffs many merging to one like a mega zord but only for a certain time after a merge. Could have the merge speed up to make splitting more realistic in combat.

2024-12-13 20:10:16 +0000 UTCVarious fun side effects for pointless gear or added to gear for joy. Alicia: Monocle of Moments: Aim assist for casters eyes that draws their attention to a person who will have something embarrassing happen to them in the next 5 seconds Literal Lenses: Contact lenses that give a text description of any item one looks upon (William Oh is a climber who climbs etc) could lead to a some funny descriptions Mason: Ring of Lust: Every time he high fives anyone there pants drop Explosive Envy: Explosions cause everyone in a near by radius to gain a sudden fixation on the casters "beautiful" features as they are highlighted by the backdrop Loth: Staff of Observation: Every time someone comes close to a trap the practitioner has placed an announcement sounds in their head from admiral Admiral Ackbar... "Its a trap!!" Cap of Contradiction: All traps placed by the practitioner cause an inverse effect of what they are designed to do Will: Mythical Medal: Causes all that gaze upon the wearer to imagine a receiving their ideal want from the wearer Boots of Boosting: Causes the wearers footsteps to emit sounds as if they were a 200 ton monster rampaging

Macronomicon
2024-12-13 20:08:39 +0000 UTCFor Brianna: Aegis of Attention. +20 Focus. This large tower shield has a silvered mirror like shine to the point that it can be used a dressing mirror. This shields wielder has a high passive resistance to mind altering or distracting effects. For 1 charge the next attack blocked by this shield is returned to its attacker as psychic damage. Designed to give Bri a much needed boost to Focus and a way to empower herself.

2024-12-13 20:03:14 +0000 UTCGroup #2: If we're allowed to make proposals for all within the category, mine are; For Alicia? Bad Penny (coin with weird dimensional effect) No stat boosts Upon flipping the coin into the air (even horizontally), it begins to grow in size based on number of rotations. If intended to be a less useful/useless item, does NOT increase in *mass*, only size. For anyone? Bee? Change Purse (also coin with weird dimensional effect) No stat boosts Looks like a normal coin. Contains a pocket storage area which can only hold coinage. If placed into any form of dimensional container, destroys both its own storage effect and that of the container. All items in destroyed storage effects released into immediate area. Potential troll/strategic use; load with lowest value coinage to absolute mass limit, give to annoying/enemy person, let them destroy their own holding item and be instantly buried in nigh-useless currency. For Will? Loth? Someone else? Supporting Cameo (amulet/necklace, small keepsake) Maybe stats? Originally party buff aura equip, previous owner kept their lover's picture in it (which provided no effect, was just for the usual not-magic reasons). Due to dimensional shenanigans while stuck in oyster/pearl, mutated to gain small storage for one picture of wearer's lover which makes that person the recipient of a buff copying wearer's stats (either flat or scaling percentage based on acuity/whatever). Possible restriction in that wearer needs to have romantic feelings/attraction for person whose picture is stored to restrict gaming it too badly (pet build having their battle pet wear it and gaining pet's stats wouldn't be allowed, would have disturbing implications if it worked). Also shouldn't work for narcissists storing their own picture, unless you decide it should for teh funneh. Obviously not intended to be final-use descriptions, tweak/rework as wanted/needed if you even feel they're worth using.
Joshua Lawvere
2024-12-13 19:56:37 +0000 UTCNephir: Ring 1: Ring that lets its wearer condense an explosion, increasing damage while decreasing blast radius. Ring 2: Ring that lets it's user change 1 large explosion into multiple explosions splitting the total explosive force amongst them. Amulet: Animal tooth necklace that adds shrapnel to all detonations. Headband: Headband that helps it's wearer calculate the probability of enemy movements for target acquisition.
chris
2024-12-13 19:46:28 +0000 UTCMark: Ring 1: Ring that lets you delay damage and release it later at once so it can be healed by someone else. Ring 2: A ring that heals its wearer a small amount over time. Amulet: An amulet that will teleport it's wearer to a pre-selected location when they are close to death.
chris
2024-12-13 19:35:14 +0000 UTCPearls: Assuming the victim was a Swimmer Hunter build when they got got by the clam. First effect is from the item, second is from the clam.#1 Weapon that puts it's victim in time and space stasis.#2 Shoes that transform into flippers that give their wearer a speed boost and increase accel over time.#3 Ordinary underwear that now are always clean.#4 Pearl Necklace that let it's wearer breathe underwater and move freely underwater.#5 Shorts that make swimming easier and allow their wearer to teleport a short distance. #6 A blindfold that gives it's wearer blindsight and remote viewing within ten miles. #7 A scarf that increases resistance to cold and allows its wearer to expand in size. #8 An ordinary dear John letter that now can be linked to other pieces of paper for long range communication. #9 An ordinary small snuff box that now makes any powder placed within it highly hallucinogenic. #10 An ordinary toe ring that now causes its wearer excruciating pain. #11 An a waterproof satchel that is now a dimensional storage space. #12 Ordinary lip ring that now can never be removed once pierced with.
chris
2024-12-13 19:27:11 +0000 UTC#1: (auction item coming from the upper reaches of the tower, not a wearable item) Shiny metallic ball of 3.5inch diameter in stored in a heavy box, deceptively heavy for its size, seems to generate heat on its own. Proximity to the object caused painful burns and eventual death in some climbers, modulated by resistance. Seems to drastically heat up when thrown into water. (This is supposed to be a chunk of refined plutonium that emits radiation, water is a neutron reflector that significantly increases the reaction speed.)

2024-12-13 19:22:57 +0000 UTCWill you also be doing relics and sacrifices for Brianna since she's joining them?
Mariposa
2024-12-13 19:20:25 +0000 UTC#1 I'd like June and Reggie to have more to their tool kit since I don't remember what they do very much. For June: Sacrifice of the Tar Fiend. Upgrades an ability to allow her to create tar pits and manipulate it at higher levels. Adds high CC to her kit. Or to make this suck, it covers her in tar for armor. Reggie: He would be amazing as a thorn build with his take one for the team ability. I don't have any fresh ideas for that though 😕
Mariposa
2024-12-13 19:19:59 +0000 UTC#1 Sacrifice of the Blue Shell. For mason, causes massive explosion on strongest being in a 60 ft radius. Does not exclude User or allies.
Mariposa
2024-12-13 19:06:11 +0000 UTC#2 Dimensionial shoe: A single shoe that is bigger on the inside. Nothing inside is made lighter, smells. Dimensions chair: Plush chair that uses dimensional magic to let you sink into it further. Can cause you to become fully absorbed into the soft velvety plushness. Demensional pocketwatch: Keeps track of its current position in 5 dimensions. Clicking the button allows you to shift the display to the different demensional faces.
In-Game_Name
2024-12-13 19:05:13 +0000 UTC#2 Some sort of bottle or container that is too small for most things. Potentially has holes so it can't hold liquid. But it's just large enough that insects can fit inside and can replace Loth's barrels by being bigger on the inside.
Gibby
2024-12-13 19:00:21 +0000 UTCFor Wyrd maybe ring spreads damage out over a short amount time, so his lifesteal/thorns could kick in to keep him from being oneshotted
Darren Deloach
2024-12-13 19:00:21 +0000 UTC#2 Dimensional weapon that swaps places with opponent. Can be resisted. Might be good for Travis to increase his survivability and use for the team. Sacrifice or relic that increases a stat based on how far away a marked opponent is. Soft set with previous weapon.
Mariposa
2024-12-13 18:58:13 +0000 UTCFor Will: Digger's Dirk. +3 Focus, +14 Strength. This long knife may look as if it was mistreated for decades down some mine, but it's blade is sharper and stronger then the mightiest maul. for 1 charge, when stabbed into earth or stone, the material solidifies into a large boulder that it's user can carry and swing as if weightless, despite retaining it's mass. Designed to give Will a one handed weapon that he can comically swing like a wrecking ball.
chris
2024-12-13 18:55:43 +0000 UTC#1 Sacrifice of the Doppleganger for Will. Possible sacrifice for phantom hand or sour dough. For phantom hand allows it to temporarily copy a known ability from user. For sour dough can copy an effect or ability from one consumable and transfer to another, allowing Will to cook up new or rare consumables, but doubles the time it takes to create per transferred effect.
Mariposa
2024-12-13 18:51:24 +0000 UTC#3 Mark Wyrd: Crown of Pain: +10 strength +10 resistance. All damage done to you is doubled. You stop feeling pain.

Baines
2024-12-13 18:46:31 +0000 UTCFor Loth: Manacle of The Minionmaker. +9 Kinesthetics, +4 Acuity. This single manacle still has it's chain links attached. For a charge, it's wearer summons magical clones of all their minions for 1 minute, or half again as many minions for 1 hour. Designed to give Loth a larger work force a large boost for a short time in combat, and the opposite during more long term projects.
chris
2024-12-13 18:44:39 +0000 UTC#1 torso piece for Travis or Reggie. Scales with resilience. Ability: gives .5% passive healing per enemy focused on wearer. Expend 5 charge, wearer can pass healing effects to another but also transfers all agro to them.
Mariposa
2024-12-13 18:42:38 +0000 UTCFor Mason: Belter's Belt. +6 Resistance, +5 Kinesthetics. A leather belt with the visage of a beautiful opera singer etched into it's buckle. All explosive attacks do additional sonic damage. For 1 charge, the next explosion cast by it's user has it's damage type changed to sonic and the explosive radius is tripled.
chris
2024-12-13 18:38:47 +0000 UTC#1 head piece that uses 5 charge to turn User invisible/less noticable as long as their eyes are closed. (You can't see me if I can't see you joke) Useless for most people, but maybe useful for alicia as a sniper? Sacrifice of the Golem Eye: Alicia upgrade marks a spot on enemy and allows it easier for it to be hit by allies Relic for June: summons treant for 8 charge. Has strong/magical branches June can use to make arrows from when at their base camp. Her living quiver. #2 A dimensional storage that turns everything put into it into trash
Mariposa
2024-12-13 18:32:19 +0000 UTCFor Alicia: Cheater's Choker. +13 Focus, +1 Acuity. This seemingly simple lace choker will help it's user always hit their target so they never see them coming. For 1 charge, any ranged attacks can abruptly change angle of attack, looking like a controlled ricochet, doubling it's velocity in the process. Synergizes with Alicia's artillery Barrage ability allowing her to change each arrow's angle independently. Designed to make Alicia's build even more unfair.
chris
2024-12-13 18:32:02 +0000 UTCFor Reggie: Mirthy Mouthguard. +15 Resistance. A mouthguard made of an unknown but highly flexible materiel, this gaudily colored mouthguard perfectly reforms to it's wearers upper teeth. When worn, it's wearer becomes immune to all mental debilitations when struck in the head, though damage still occurs. Designed to so Reggie never becomes punch-drunk.
chris
2024-12-13 18:23:46 +0000 UTC#1: For will (and memes): **Dagger of Mad Creation**: 40 charge: Use this dagger to cut off your hand, the flesh is sacrificed to the Tower and becomes a ring with abilities based on the sacrifices in the wearer's build. Holding the dagger induces subtle mental manipulation that tries to convince the user to use the effect. And for the created ring based on Will: **Ring of the Eidolon Snake**: The user's Regeneration abilities extend to Eidolons under the user's control. (idea is for Will to eventually grow out the hand into a full humanoid eidolon, who can then wear even more relics)
JhanicManifold
2024-12-13 18:20:58 +0000 UTCFor group 2 a good bad item could be a pair of socks that disappear when they are taken off by teleporting randomly to a nearby location.
Matthew Kidd
2024-12-13 18:20:29 +0000 UTCFor June: Fascinator of The Facilitator. +9 Focus, +3 Acuity. A fascinator rumored to have been worn by the legendary figure The Facilitator, who is known as mythology's greatest supporter. For 1-5 charges, it's user chooses one person in their line of sight to have a temporary boost to all stats equal to the charge spent for 30 seconds. Designed to make June even better at directing a battle.
chris
2024-12-13 18:19:42 +0000 UTCFor Travis: Speculator's Spectacles. +7 Kinesthetics, +8 Focus. Large coke bottle glasses with lenses made of perfectly clear volcanic glass. For 1 charge, the user can see a fraction of a second in the future. Designed in mind for Travis to be more combat capable as a dodge tank.
chris
2024-12-13 18:13:32 +0000 UTCFor instance toilet paper so incredibly absorbent (leads into another dimension) you could empty a lake with the entire roll. With that one piece goes a long way
Jake
2024-12-13 18:12:46 +0000 UTC#1 sacrifice of the lunar chronos eel for Will on the immortal serpent sacrifice. Decreases the effect of the previous sacrifice by half but increases the frequency of the effect by 28. Doubles the effect of next sacrifice but decreases the frequency of the sacrifice by 28. The user is 8 times more affected by light effects.
Thomas
2024-12-13 18:11:25 +0000 UTCConsumable Item: Golden Ticket: Good for one free immediate resurrection.
Bob
2024-12-13 18:05:05 +0000 UTC2. Dimensional toilet paper if it works in a good waybsounds absolutely godly for a bunch of people continously travelling in the wild.
Jake
2024-12-13 18:02:33 +0000 UTC#2 for Will: **Ring of a Foolish King** 1 charge: All matter in a radius (scales with acuity) around the ring turns into gold (including the hand of the wearer and the ring). ( essentially a Ring that is uniquely good for Will, since only he could cast the effect more than once )
JhanicManifold
2024-12-13 17:56:12 +0000 UTC#1 For Will Satchel of the Spellthief: +5 Acuity +9 Focus User may expend 1 Charge to steal the effect of one ability being triggered in a radius around them which scales with acuity and store it in the satchel. User may then expend another Charge to release an effect stored inside the satchel at a later date, effects scaling with whatever stats the initial effect scaled with. Spell storage space of this satchel scales with users focus. If this bag is ever destroyed, or if it’s ever filled beyond its capacity, the bag will rupture— releasing all stored effects at once centered on the wearer.
Zach Schmidt
2024-12-13 17:50:57 +0000 UTC#1: For Loth: Chestplate of the Cruel Queen: 1 charge: pick a minion, for a time (scales with focus), all damage done to you is transferred to that minion. (idea is to find a ridiculously resilient insect)
JhanicManifold
2024-12-13 17:45:36 +0000 UTCAs far as we know right now, he was last seen being kidnapped by people working for Wyrd. Its likely that the retreat and final stages of that operation remained the same despite the death of the man in charge. So id wager that either Mark Wyrd has the man, or a part of the family that doesn't want to be loyal to Mark took him before Mark even learned of his existence. No way his dad told him about such a big secret.
Emily Gurnavage
2024-12-13 17:38:50 +0000 UTC#2: Cursed Amulet of the Rogue Teleporter: +30% Rogue Archetype Abilities, No charge: Wearer May Teleport At will in a Radius that scales with acuity. Each time this ability is triggered, The amulet permanently tightens around the wearer's neck. Amulet cannot be taken off. (Idea is for Will to avoid the cursed effects by feeding this to the hand)
JhanicManifold
2024-12-13 17:37:14 +0000 UTCA relic that summons magical bananas that give temporary buffs such as an extendable nose, finger growths that are rockets, and a boost to pottery. The rarity of the banana is a gacha game and everyone is super impressed you got the legendary blue spotted banana that grants proficiency in golf
Floop
2024-12-13 17:33:48 +0000 UTCFor those stepping on her traps, yes. Lol
Emily Gurnavage
2024-12-13 17:33:39 +0000 UTCI'm thinking about that loony toons skunk for this design. I also think it's the sort of thing that either Travis or Alicia might want for the the stats, but would really prefer to never have to use the ability.
Xeophyn
2024-12-13 17:32:03 +0000 UTCMutated pants of the Skunk. +8 res, +4 kin, +20% to charm. 1 charge: Release blinding stinking cloud to aid in disengaging from foes.
Xeophyn
2024-12-13 17:28:19 +0000 UTC#1: For will: **Earth-Mover Pants**, 1 charge: target mass of matter (mass scales with focus) picks up the velocity of other target object. (idea is to target a huge mass to the same velocity as the pellet the phantom hand shoots out, letting Will eventually launch meteors. He could also create 'blades' of immovable air by immobilising it)
JhanicManifold
2024-12-13 17:26:20 +0000 UTCI might put together a character sheet thing as a break later today - if I make it pretty simple are you comfortable using a jupyter notebook? If you never have, it's really easy and you can just install VS code and it'll run nicely in that

Josh Cothran
2024-12-13 17:23:10 +0000 UTC1: for Travis: Amulet of Enrapture Capture, the wearer temporarily steals resistance/15 stat points from the highest stat of any creature directly focused on the wearer. Maximum number of targets equal to 2*resistance.
Vinohr
2024-12-13 17:19:01 +0000 UTC1: - Dimensional Oyster Sac/Item for Travis that lets him throw/relocate his voice. Now his taunt becomes an offensive option to redirect agro. - Relic that lets someone share a passive of theirs to an ally within X feet. Lets Alicia give the other DPS her ability to see weak points. Lots of creativity here. - Relic that converts psychic damage to physical for Reggie - Something that adds Thorns to TOFT - Dimensional storage for Loth's bugs 2: I think it's fun to add QOL items here and random stuff someone who fought the oyster might have had. - Dimensional hardtrack - Bag of Holding - Two rings where putting something through one makes it come out the other - A knife that always bends around its target, making it always miss - A pencil that is actually bendy 3: - Thorns damage is calculated prior to resistance right? If not, then a relic that makes it so would be very strong. - Relic that grants lifesteal on physical damage that was not done by one's self 4: - Regain charge on kill - Hitting a vital spot regains charge. (Blowing someone up naturally hits all their vital spots) - Damage to shields empowers next ability - Some kind of ability that lets wearer actually multitask instead of splitting between attack and manipulating shields

Macronomicon
2024-12-13 17:13:22 +0000 UTCDimensionally Warped Fermenting Barrel: Previously a barrel relic that would over time turn any plant placed inside into a sauerkraut like food to allow food production on higher floors but after spending time in a Dimensional Oyster it now produces fermented vegetables on demand via teleportation by spending Charge and only has a tiny chance of summoning a horrible plant monster. For Reggie Mutated Anchor Boots: Normal version being boots that prevent being knocked over/away by anchoring the user to the ground these boots will allow users to spend charge to send incoming damage up to a maximu value directly into whatever they are standing on for a few seconds. For June Spatial Quiver: Dimension Oyster empowered Quiver that will allow all ammunition inside to be empowered by spending Charge. Upon striking an enemy any other empowered ammunition gains X degrees of correction towards the same target with X scaling off of Acuity and every subsequent strike by empowered ammunition will deal stacking damage based on the previous number of successes.
Exrotes
2024-12-13 17:12:53 +0000 UTC1: Sacrifice of the Insurgent Jellyfish Found on the 6th floor, these creatures tend to propagate when attacked, slowly overtaking their target with number, poison, and mass (Propagation does not work on other Insurgent Jellyfish) ‘Where there is one more will spread, we shall strike back against our oppressors’
Michael
2024-12-13 17:11:55 +0000 UTC2. No person in particular, trinkets from the gacha oysters. -Amulet of Thirst- +3 Resistance +2 Focus "*Slowly* desalinate a *small* container of salt water. No effect on other contaminates. Slightly more freshwater will result than should normally." ×The idea is that it only works on such a small container of saltwater, and takes long enough for that small container, that its practically useless but at the same time coooould maybe save your life. It came from an oyster, so workin with water seems fine. Extra water is the dimensional effect. Very little extra.× . -Mermaids Dice- No passive stat boost "When rolled, the resulting number is how high the rollers charm is boosted for the next 30 minutes. Effects breaks on combat." ×The dimensional effect is that the item *looks* like a normal 6-sided die but once you roll it its suddenly got many more sides. You pick how high, Mac. I have it break on combat since this is meant to be a meh trinket.× . -Minor Ring of Storage- "Capable of storing twice the size of the pearl's worth of material within this ring." ×So basically nothing, lol.× . -Taste of the Ocean- "Consuming this (looks like dried kelp) allows for underwater breathing for 10 minutes. Single use." ×Perhaps Will puts it (or one, if they get more) in his Sourdough bin?× . -Pretty Necklace- Just a pretty necklace. . -Shiny Rock- A *very* shiny rock, congratulations. ×No hidden magical uses lol, but its shiny.× . -Regenerating Canteen of the Stout- Those who drink from this heal slightly faster. If drunken while laying down, gain +10 strength for as long as you remain lying down. ×The regen part of the name is meant to be a small troll to get a climbers hopes up that its a regenerating water source but it aint. Name still fits though.× .
Emily Gurnavage
2024-12-13 17:07:46 +0000 UTCI propose a toe ring with a luscious blue feather attached. The effect of the relic would be feather falling (30% of normal speed); +10 kinesthetics, 5+ focus; Ability: (cost 1) catapulting the wearer upwards for 65 feet at high speed with a 99% probability, or at 1% of casts he is catapulted downwards with the same force.

2024-12-13 16:50:10 +0000 UTC1: - I think it's time for Travis to have an interesting offensive-ish option. What about an item that charges based on the amount of people taunted and when it reached a particular threshold it launches an aoe psychic wave that stuns people for like 10 seconds. - For Reggie, something that lets him go invuln for one second. That could increase his skill threshold, now when he target someone with his TOFT he can go invuln during a huge hit, and tank it fully. - June: An item that let's you combine summoned arrows them to make even nastier arrows. Or some item that lets you shoot it in the air and release an aerosolized can of buff mist on the team. At least that's the way I currently understand her kit and build, considering Alicia is the super offensive archer.
