[Cogwork] Weapon - Telltale Tick

aripockily post [Cogwork] Weapon - Telltale Tick from patreon

Edit: Removed Attack action requirement to allow for weapon interaction with spells that grant additional attacks or the extra attack from the haste spell.

Welcome to the new month and year! Diving into this theme, I was really tempted to explore the lawful plane of Axiom (my legally distinct o...

[Other] Item - Box of Banded Aids

aripockily post [Other] Item - Box of Banded Aids from patreon

Sometimes you need casual low-level nonmagical items for your players. This would be a great way to reward your 1st to 2nd level players without needing to worry about magical healing potions.

[Other] Weapon - Rot

The original and only defining feature of this blade was the obsidian blade. I struggled with the hilt and knuckle guard's design but I like how the spikey bits turned out - it looks more like fangs now!

[Other] Weapon - Heartbreaker

aripockily post [Other] Weapon - Heartbreaker from patreon

This weapon is also from my home campaign. It took a little bit of tweaking but I like how the sweeps and knuckle guard shaped up to be a heart, complete with an angled crossguard that looks like a piercing arrow.

[Other] Weapon - Long-Winded Great Axe

aripockily post [Other] Weapon - Long-Winded Great Axe from patreon

This weapon was one of the first items to show up in my home campaign. It was first envisioned 3 years ago and had nothing more than the pun and the propensity for a character to spew often unrelated or useless information.

Originally forged as a vessel for a pirate's soul, this axe now exists as a simple ...

[Other] Item - Glove of Blasting

aripockily post [Other] Item - Glove of Blasting from patreon

Arcane orange lines thread densely beneath the thin leather of this glove, linked between circular gemstone nodes from the wrist to fingertips. Each node pulses with every charge absorbed from the spell, flickering with dim unrefined energy. Despite the arcane power that flows through the glove, it remains unnaturally coo...

[Infernal] Monster - Sombragon

aripockily post [Infernal] Monster - Sombragon from patreon

Among the greater agons’ intangible domains of dread, the sombragon is the titular fiend of darkness. Few have seen its true physical form since it is always shrouded by darkness, even among those with darkvision.

The sombragon was designed to fully embody the fear of utter darkness and cre...

Can't have a fiends themed month without something dedicated to slaying them! Silverspawn is a sort of upgraded silver designed to make this slightly more effective than regular silver.

Since switching to non-upfront payment to avoid double-charging patrons, I'll be trying to release compendiums on the 25th each month instead of 4th week of month.

I thought I had planned rather well at the start of the month - about 20 items, 3 monsters, and perhaps a couple pages of lore fo...

[Infernal] Item - Tormented Chain

aripockily post [Infernal] Item - Tormented Chain from patreon

My initial idea for this was just a basic black chain but it kinda looked pretty boring. Things came together when I decided to add a fiendish head to it so now it's more like an ... evil snake?

[Infernal] Wand - Scepter of the Mad Fiend

aripockily post [Infernal] Wand - Scepter of the Mad Fiend from patreon

Looping back to what I said earlier about a diverse breadth of items - I haven't created a staff or wand in a while. This one is a little experimental in that it modifies spells to do something beyond their written effects, which I really like.

[Infernal] Item - Fiendish Talismans

aripockily post [Infernal] Item - Fiendish Talismans from patreon

For every monthly theme I always try to include a broad breadth of item types (which are sometimes unpopular but I like the versatility). These are semi-consumables - usable until a certain requirement is met. I really like these because they're not technically "one-use" but also not overly powerful due to persistence.

[Infernal] Weapon - Shrieking Skull

aripockily post [Infernal] Weapon - Shrieking Skull from patreon

Drawing a skull was actually surprisingly easy? I don't know how I managed to make one that looked pretty decent and believable but I'm happy I managed. I also think I got a better handle on fire this time, though the png blending modes don't look kindly upon fire.

[Infernal] Item - Devil's Shackles

aripockily post [Infernal] Item - Devil's Shackles from patreon

Another item themed around the devil's contract. This time, it relies more on another fiend granting these items to an unsuspecting character. I think auto-failing death saves as a condition for their use is quite fitting with a devil's desire to accelerate deaths and steal souls.

[Infernal] Item - Circlet of the Contract

aripockily post [Infernal] Item - Circlet of the Contract from patreon

I wanted to lean harder into the infernal nature of devils (contracts, fire, etc) and make them prominent for this theme. This circlet relies a lot on the GM to adjudicate, but I like the idea of forcibly entering others into a devilish contract without their knowledge. It's something an evil devil might do.

[Infernal] Weapon - Obsidian Cull

aripockily post [Infernal] Weapon - Obsidian Cull from patreon

Scythes are pretty cool. I had forgotten I already created a scythe with the "exotic" tag and nearly skinned this weapon as a glaive. I played around with the scythe shape before resting on this one - turns out there's a lot of ways to make them unique!

January Theme Poll

Thank you thank you for all the new and current supporters. What a pretty cool month this was with all the infernal stuff - I got to imagine a couple Lower Planes-adjacent fiends and hopefully my attempts to making something new (the agon fiends) will pay off. I can't really do any of this without your support.

[Infernal] Armor - Bonecage

aripockily post [Infernal] Armor - Bonecage from patreon

You can't really have demons without bones! This would fit really well with the Fiendish Mask rangers' whole deal with crafting their armor/accessories out of demon and devil bones. I also knew that bone armor is pretty impractical so now it's a bone that sort of grows around a character. I also like the idea of trading some ...

[Infernal] Weapon - Squirm

aripockily post [Infernal] Weapon - Squirm from patreon

I like the idea that this weapon might try to kill you (and has the means to do so) if you don't listen to it. The balance for the weapon seems fine in the final inspection - it should be hard to get the maximum extra attacks out of this weapon unless you're really multiclassing (it should be rewarding if you're an Eldritch K...

[Infernal] Weapon - Soulsnare

aripockily post [Infernal] Weapon - Soulsnare from patreon

The sword originally looked more like a rune-etched blade, but over the course of design I added the mouth and really wanted to try a split-blade look, which led to its current magma-filled interior. The sword also leans on the devil's contract theme, drawing most of its power from the summoning aspect.

[Infernal] Weapon - Bleeding Heart

aripockily post [Infernal] Weapon - Bleeding Heart from patreon

This is the first of three legendary weapons, one for each of the three types of fiends: devils, demons, and a new custom type called agons. I really like the idea that "bloodstone" in demon terms is literally a type of gem with a literal heart inside it.

A very simple weapon. I'm a really big fan of the hook+rope type weapons and I can't seem to stop making them. I like the idea of the red cracks against black metal as the fiends' sort of design, too, but I should make sure the future items won't all look the same.

New month new theme! Welcome to the Furnal Planes, the homes of devils, demons, and a new type of fiend called agons. It's going to be an interesting one considering all the creative obstacles this theme will have to navigate. To kick it all off is this fire-spewing hand cannon filled with hellish flames.
