Talk:The Oculus (5e Equipment)

If someone could help with the formatting on this page, that would be great. --OwenLeaf (talk) 07:28, 25 November 2014 (MST)

If anyone can find a way to use the preload on this, that would be extremely helpful. --OwenLeaf (talk) 13:27, 15 December 2014 (MST)

Well, it does follow the preload! I've removed that template. I suggest these changes. Choose a rarity from DMG p. 135. I know it's supposed to be unique, but the rarity defines its value and what character levels are appropriate. I would also like to see a smaller image. Basically half that size. I don't know if your source has a thumbnail for that image, but otherwise you could try your luck with deviantArt or Flickr (or draw your own?! :) ) Marasmusine (talk) 14:28, 15 December 2014 (MST)

Now that we all have the DMG, are we going to develop this? The rarity field is used to determine the items value and level-appropriateness (DMG p. 135): Even if there's only one of these items, it still needs to use one of the rarity values on that table. The alternative is that it becomes a artifact. As it doesn't have any magical properties yet, I can't suggest what to do. Marasmusine (talk) 04:00, 18 January 2015 (MST)

I was thinking about making it an artifact and decided that was a good course of action, can you move it to that for me? --OwenLeaf (talk) 09:07, 18 January 2015 (MST)

Thanks, I will do as soon as I make the list/template/preload for them :) Marasmusine (talk) 14:02, 18 January 2015 (MST)

BTW, I haven't been on much because of my robotics team has entered crunch time before our state championship. I'm trying to get back into this, however, so don't worry if I don't reply for a little while, I'm not dead. --OwenLeaf (talk) 14:28, 18 January 2015 (MST)

A weapon dealing 4d8 seems a tad high especially once including modifiers. My suggestion would be kicking it back down a little to maybe normal dmg + a static number (i.e. +4). Secondly, the passive ability to force a dc 20 con save for blind/incap is rediculously powerful. I understand that you want a powerful artifact weapon, but your moreso looking at godlike. --173.55.65.48 14:34, 8 May 2015 (MDT)

I'll change it some, but we all have to understand something. This is the primary weapon of a powerful deity, not an old relic or something of that ilk. It is designed to have godlike power. This is a weapon the PCs would acquire at the climax of the campaign from Jaenseth herself or one of her solars for use in defeating the BBEG and saving the entire world, or however your climax works. The PCs would probably then have to return the weapon to Jaenseth and be elevated to demigods or however the DM wants to wrap things up. The point is, this is a godlike weapon that would only be given out for plot purposes, and the PCs would probably only have the weapon for a short time anyways.
