Look at that child radiate happiness! They’re positively glowing!
As a boring killjoy D&D rules lawyer, I might point out that this will definitely lead to “them” winning, since you are killed when you attune, and therefore can never deal the 1d8 bludgeoning + 30d12 radiant damage.
Isn’t attuning only for magic properties that you have to activate? The post seems to treat it like something it just does, like a silver weapon.
I’m not aware of any nonmagical items that require attunement, so I think that point also stands. If you were to use such an item without attunement and it were magic, you would do the bludgeoning damage and not the radiant damage.
Past a certain point death is a formality in d&d, so I don’t think that’s true.
I thought death broke attunement, and you had to reattune after being resurrected?
Going to become insanely OP when I find a way to make myself immune to radiant damage.
Plumbum Armour, but I’m concerned about the movement…
When you’re doing 30d12 to everything within line of sight, movement penalties become less of a concern.
Let my enemies behold their slowly-approaching, inevitable doom!
They won’t be able to see you, but there are like 30 other human senses + made up ones
And the reduction of your Intelligence stat after you wear it
Lead lined armour with tinted lead crystal face shield, lead woven gambeson and skull cap… you can’t have any gaps.
Non-magical??
This is literally one of the most magical things we have.
Magic rock go boom
This reminds me that there’s a quick reference in the Mage Errant series that one of the most powerful characters in the world actively hunts down and exterminates anyone who shows an elemental affinity to a “poisonous yellow stone”, fearing it’s power and potential for unintended harm to the user and those around them.
I love this so much. I have to figure out a way to work this into my next sssion.
Welp, that was fun, ready for the new setting next session?
Lol. I would obviously need to work in some fun and potentialy precarious radiance immunity mechanic.
