DND/Marvel Infinity Gems/Gauntlet

[Xar Zarath]

hey playgrounders, so ive been hunting around the net for clips of Thor2, the new trailer from Guardians of the Galaxy and such and this Infinity Gems rumours have been circulating...

so in terms of dnd how do I make such items, stats and such for real. With epic crafting feats or...

hit me with your best shots:smallwink:

Well, each one is a really powerful major artifact.


Soul (Green): Allows the user to steal, control, manipulate and alter souls, living or dead, and is the gateway to an idyllic pocket universe. The Soul Gem is sentient and has a hunger for souls.

Time (Orange): Allows the user total control over the past, present and future. Allows time travel, can age and de-age beings and also be used as a weapon by trapping enemies or entire universes in unending loops of time. Also at full potential grants Omniscience.

Space (Purple): Allows the user to exist in any or all locations, move any object anywhere throughout reality and warp or rearrange space. At full potential it grants Omnipresence.

Mind (Blue): Allows the user to greatly strengthen and enhance mental and psionic power and access the thoughts and dreams of other beings. Backed by the Power Gem, the Mind Gem can access all minds in existence simultaneously. When searching for it, the Illuminati apparently discovered that the Mind Gem was the personification of the universal subconscious.

Reality (Yellow): Allows the user to fulfill wishes, even if the wish is in direct contradiction with scientific laws.

Power (Red): Accesses all power and energy that ever has or will exist, and can boost the other gems' effects. Allows the user to duplicate almost any physical superhuman ability and grants Omnipotence.

So we're talking about artifacts on the level of making a wish as a standard action, unlimited uses (yellow). Abilities of a 20th level Psion and a +10 bonus to all mental stats (or something like that for Blue). And the other stuff is equally insane.

Yellow is probably the easiest to figure.
2,500,000gp (25,000gp*100 for the wish XP cost)
275,400gp (9*17*1800gp, for the wishes themselves as command activated)
11,016XP (for above wishes)

So that's just 2,775,400gp, 11,016XP for the Wishes.

Probably the cheapest, but in reality the Yellow Infinity Gem doesn't have a limit.

Time to break out Savage Species and start making anthropomorphic Raccoons

really? why not giant gerbils?

[hemming]

If you wanted to make them a little more attainable to characters and/or feasible for your BBEG to have you could do something analogous to the old SNES game versions:

-Soul (health boost) - +8 Con

-Time (speed boost) - maybe haste at will or always treat a move action as a free action

-Power (damage boost) - +8 Str

I can't remember what the other ones did, but you could make it a really cool powerful artifact without making it an insane game breaking artifact.

You missed a reference there.

[Man on Fire]

Somebody once asked to get him Thanos stated on these forums. I remember he ended up being epic level Goliath Cloistered Cleric of Death. Same person who stated him also made Infinity Gems.

I think this is it...


The Infinity Gauntlet, without a doubt, is an artifact item. It is an epic artifact among other artifacts, so beware because this next section is pure home-brew...

So not only is the Infinity Gauntlet an artifact but so is each individual infinity gem placed within the gauntlet. Each has its own powers and when combined create an amazing effect.

* Soul: At its base form it grants the user every benefit of the undead subtype without actually possessing it as well as being able to use any spell/power that is part of the healing or necromancy school (or subschool) (CL 20/ML 20). When used in connection to the Power gem it grants its user the Life & Death salient divine ability (Divine Rank 10). (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#lifeAndDeath)
* Time: At its base form it grants its user immortality and the ability to use Mass Time Hop, Teleport Through Time (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/pg/20030409b), Temporal Acceleration, Time Hop, Time Regression or Time Stop as a full-action once per turn as a SLA/PLA (CL 20/ML 20). When used in connection to the Power gem it grants its user the Divine Recall (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#divineRecall) and Know Death divine salient abilities (Divine Rank 10) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#knowDeath).
* Space: At its base form it grants the user the ability to use any spell/power that is part of the calling, creating, metacreativity, psychoportation, summoning or teleporting school (or subschool) (CL 20/ML 20). When used in connection to the Power gem it grants its user the Call Creatures (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#callCreatures) & Create Object salient divine abilities (Divine Rank 10) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#divineCreation).
* Mind: At its base form it grants its user unlimited-distance telepathy (planar & beyond) and the ability to use Hypercognition or Metafaculty as a free action once per turn as a PLA (ML 20). When used in connection to the Power gem it grants its user the Know Secrets (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#knowSecrets) & True Knowledge salient divine abilities (Divine Rank 10) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#trueKnowledge).
* Reality: At its base form it allows its user to use Genesis, Miracle, Reality Revision, or Wish as a full-action once per turn as a SLA/PLA (CL 20/ML 20). When used in connection to the Power gem it grants its user the Alter Reality salient divine ability (Divine Rank 10) (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/divine/divineAbilitiesFeats.htm#alterReality).
* Power: At its base form it provides an upgrade to every ability the user may possess. Caster levels and manifester levels are immediately increased by fifteen levels and the DC for any special ability is increased by +20.

When combined they perform such an act...

The Infinity Gauntlet (with all gems): When in possession of all the Infinity Gems this mystical & all powerful gauntlet transforms its user into raw divinity. The wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet immediately receives 16 divine ranks and everything else that comes with an immediate ascendance.

Along with this...

* Power: At its base form it provides an upgrade to every ability the user may possess. Caster levels and manifester levels are immediately increased by fifteen levels and the DC for any special ability is increased by +20. In addition it improves one ability score by ten points and grants its user the ability to use every maneuver & stance of one school from Tome of Battle (with a recovery style/system of a 20th-level Warblade). When used in connection with another gem the user is able to improve another ability score and learns the maneuvers/stances of another school (thus with all the gems together having a +10 bonus to every ability score and six out of the nine martial schools).
