Twisted, and almost useful to some adventurers. Of course it raises the question if you can only breathe water in the bucket what happens if you cut a viewing slit or eye holes int he thing? Any water that enters the bucket is now technically "inside the bucket" so would then be breatheable? (I just know most players would try this to make the bucket more useful)
We should have more magic items like this in the Citadel -- simple, amusing, and of a reasonable power level for lowbies. I can already imagine some of the things my group would try to do with it. Great quest sub!
Random Guest requests a magical moustach, and a magical moustache appears! You're Welcome!
Thank you! (I am that random guest) Well, i was googling for inspiration, thinking something along the same lines this morning, but this is a lot better than what I had in mind. Whisker-Fungi!
I guess my first question is, can these fungi pass for an actual mustache upon close inspection?
I am picturing a gnomish stache-farm, where the wee whiskered ones, breed, raise, and sell the fungi.
I'll take 2 handle-bar ticklers and a doom-stache please (can also be used to drill into into someone's eyes.)
Good show, Agar! (cute name too, Nose Neighbor)
Nice item. Items like this are more common in the mytho-historical record than the uber-swords. I read once a myth about a viking Grotte (I think) who had mill stone that would turn anything into anything. His successor up asking for salt and Of course things went wrong and now the oceans are salty. Then there was the Strega Nona's pasta pot. You stone here will be a nice for players it doesn't have a down side or relgious trappings. I can see the players messing with it.
Excitable Player: "If we hook this up to a wind mill and maybe a sand chute, we could make a kiling sellting grain."
Roleplaying Player: "By the Gods dear sir, you would take Hannetta's blessings to all men and use it for such base self-advancement."
Meta-player Number 1: "Yeah, if we do that the GM will have drown in grain or something."
I want this to be the focus of a save-the-town quest. Everyone is starving, quickly! Find and lug the heavy stone object through the dungeon, across the rickety canyon bridge (WHUMP!), over the lake in the leaky boat (*gurgle*), up the hill, up the hill again, (Damn you Sisyphus!) et cetera. It makes me snigger with evil DM delight.
I like it. Simple, useful, sentimental, and not at all overpowering. How big an object will fit into it? If someone's hand is caught in it, will the millstone magically keep grinding and pull them in or does it require manual turning of a crank? If gold is ground up, will the resulting bread be a sparkling glitter-gold bread?
As strange as it sounds, I could see this item as a way to "destroy" an indestructible evil artifact. The artifact wouldn't be destroyed; it would just change forms to flour and thereafter baked into safe, edible, and tasty bread. "Give us the Conqueror's evil Medallion of Malice, or we will kill you and take it anyway!" "I ground it into flour to make my bread! What now, punk?"
.. Amusing, and well characterized. These are the kind of 'personalized' touches a crafted item should have, imo.
