Just really neat

I started to type in ‘Exactly’ and then was about to type in your username. But I just started laughing my fucking ass off at ‘Brave Little Hitachi Wand’
Oh weird. Thanks to you I’ve discovered that my client doesn’t show display names, just usernames. I wonder if that’s a setting somewhere.

“The DM hands out magic items” has the same energy as “It’s an open book test”
You get it

And before someone screams about AAAAAAAAAAAA ITS UNBALANCED the DM can balance it back
And since you guys are all armed to the teeth, I figured you could take on this terrasque, ridden by Strahd, and flanked by 10 beholders. Also, you forgot to leave a watch or set up your alarm spell last night, so when you wake up in the morning you smell seafood, your heads feel kind of fuzzy, and there’s slime dripping from your ears. Enjoy the +2 greatswords!

You get it
An “open book” test means the test is about to get really hard. So hard that even with the book and ample class time you will still struggle to solve the exam questions and pass the test.

I’m pretty sure there’s one in the default lemmy. I think one in Alexandrite too. Not sure if you’re using a web client or an app. But I’m glad to help be that catalyst for you
and I wasn’t kidding either

and I wasn’t kidding eitherI found “Prefer user display names” under Misc on Summit and I too now see the wand name beside the TOE profile picture. Thanks for the assist.

I always had the most fun giving the parties items that were powerful but had some sort of risk or tradeoff. Something where they knew the risks, but accepted of their own free will.
Some examples for you to steal, though the numbers probably need tweaking.
Scroll of Immolation.
On reading the scroll, it is consumed and all creatures within 50’ in line of effect are marked for 3d4 turns. When any such creature reaches 0 hit points, it explodes in a fiery blast and is slain. Roll their hit dice for damage. The radius is 5’ for every two such hit dice, rounded up. Creatures exploded in this manner cannot be restored to life by spells that require an intact corpse.
For example, an Ogre with 8d10 hit dice will explode for 8d10 fire damage to everything within 20’.
Note that these explosions can cause explosions, and the player characters are likely marked.
(Inspired by crawl, a classic rogue like)
Helm of Debt
After receiving damage, the wearer of this helm may opt to instead receive no damage. If they do so, mark down the amount of damage that would have been taken. Keep track of damaged prevented in this manner as a running total.
The next time the bearer completes a long rest, they have two choices. They may suffer double the total damage absorbed by the helm. This damage may not be reduced or redirected. Doing so resets the total to zero.
They may instead attempt a charisma save with the DC equal to the total damage tracked. On success, no damage is taken, and the tracked damage total increases by 5.
Distance from the helm, breaking attunement, dying from other means, and similar effects do not end this process. The debt must be paid.
A creature slain while the helm’s debt is unpaid is immediately sent to the hells, and may not be returned to life by conventional means.
I feel like Scroll of Immolation could cause an exploding plague that would plausibly wipe out the entire population of anything more than a moderately large city where the population density was high enough.

Maybe! Most commoners only have like 1 hit die, so their explosions would be small.
I also intended only for the initially marked people to explode, but I realize I wrote it so it reads like “anyone initially marked or anyone hit by the explosion explodes”. The latter might be a “Greater Immolation” variant, where the explosions mark victims for subsequent explosions.

We’re level 6 and have been given one magic item that broke and one that has very limited uses.
My condolences.
