100th and most beloved character: Some dude with a knife
6th character is poor Mr Snake’s long lost twin brother Snek
Your 7th is Solidus Snake
8th is named Badger. Still a snek.
9, 10 are actually just a coupla wild & crazy fun guys…
Snek with 98 mage hands because frankly 100 was too many what was he thinking
I always enjoyed this aspect of D&D games: the creative, interesting enemies, places, and artifacts that you could find in some of the books/tomes.
In fact, i was able to find the exact book i was thinking of at archive.org! The AD&D 2nd edition Book of Artifacts: https://archive.org/details/tsr02138add2ebookofartifacts/mode/1up
Here’s one of my favorites from the book, though it’s been so long i really could do to give in another gander:
That’s a direct ripoff of Slavic folklore, FYI
It directly says so in the text of the book.
Yeah, I didn’t read the text on the page, only the title.
I saw that too!! I was googling about it for a while this morning, fascinating stuff! I enjoy the ways that they recommend introducing the character and house into a campaign etc in the Book of Artifacts, too. I think it’s cool they use real folklore to give the game flavor and interest.
Everything is derivative.
Lol shockingly similar to one of my characters who was a squirrel wizard.
"Mom can I have dragon?
“No, we have dragon at home.”

Another one of those cases where the “within field of vision” part of mage hand isn’t really adhered to.
So I checked and it depends on the species but one flying snake has a field of view of 308.5°. So for some species they’d be able to have hands way apart from each other
A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range.
Where would that part be?
probably a previous edition?
Quiet you, those rules are for the players!
Brilliant! What book is this from?
According to here it’s from Tome of Beasts 2.
Tome of Beasts 2 by Kobold Press
Yeah. And even when someone challenges you to play another noble paladin, they never get less weird.
Ohhh, I thought you said ignoble, sorry
