    Default Xykons magic items

    He said he can only craft stuff for like 8 hours in a prior comic (or some other time frame I forget)

    What kind of cool magic gear do you think he made? Some stuff to improve his stats I'm sure, but will we see some hilarious junk that subverts our expectations?

    I'm thinking something along the lines of the insanity bouncing ball, but newer, and goofier.

    And on that note, what do you think he made and why? What kind of things is he limited to making if any? I don't play D&D so I don't know what his in-game limits are.

    As a skyrim player, I enjoy decking myself out in enchanted gear, so I'd assume he is taking precautions but also stupid crap like a coffee maker that is attuned to his lich body so he can actually drink it like he used to. Again, something dumb and a throw back.

    Let's hear your thoughts guys and keep it serious, but also in line with xykons character, as he's terrifyingly serious and goofy when the plot needs him to be.
    Vae Victus!

    At the very least we know he has an item that gives him fire immunity (he mentions it in 653). The crown at least isn't magical in any way, shape or form (as far as we know). His robes probably have some magical effects though.

    He's got whatever Rich needs him to have in order to best facilitate a good story, just like any D&D game's BBEG.

    I do think he's probably invested in some way to block sunbeam and sunburst by this point. Darth V probably hit him for ~130 points of damage with that one, likely doesn't want a repeat.

    That's certainly true for the comic, though for a D&D game's BBEG, I'm not sure that's entirely kosher.

    Technically this wasn't a crafted item; it was a spell effect on an object. Unless he crafted the superball. What's the Craft DC on one of those?

    Still, it does tell us something about his crafting.
    Either, he did not craft any boots at all, or whatever he made was not as useful as freedom of movement.

    Given that he wasn't wearing boots when he went in, I'm betting on the former.

    He certainly also has a metamagic rod stashed in his robe which grants him the Still Spell feat.

    FIGHT!

    Good point. I will assume he didn't make the ball but perhaps made the enchantment.

    What magic items do you think he'll either make, or rather what enchantments will he place on items he might pick up?

    I don't think we should take notes from Tsukikos diary as canon.

    It's not often that I physically laugh out loud from a forum post. Well played Riftwolf.
