the 2024 dungeon Masters Guide includes
0:02
a magic item called the Rival coin now
0:05
this is a common magic item with one
0:07
charge that regains its charge at dawn
0:09
you can flip the coin as a magic action
0:12
and on a heads you pick a creature
0:15
within 30t that you can see that
0:17
creature takes 2 D4 damage and
0:19
disadvantage on its next attack roll on
0:22
a tails you take 1 D4 damage now
0:26
obviously that's not a fantastic combat
0:28
option it's uh it's Vally similar to
0:31
vicious mockery they do get a save
0:33
whatever um but the fun part of the
0:36
magic item is it doesn't require
0:38
Attunement anyone can use this so if you
0:42
have a whole bunch of these things you
0:44
can have a bunch of random commoners
0:46
walk into a room flip coins just murder
0:49
somebody if you have a whole bunch of
0:51
these loose in a city you could have a
0:53
string of unexplained murders where a
0:55
bunch of people are just dropping dead
0:57
from Psychic damage with no explanation
1:00
and then eventually the players trace it
1:01
back to a bunch of coins that are being
1:03
used to attack people out of nowhere
1:06
like the implications of this item in
1:09
any kind of plausible world are kind of
1:12
insane you're not going to use it a
1:14
whole lot as Adventures realistically
1:16
but it's fun to think about
