Handy? Convenient? Yes.
Writing is OK.
But, for a magical world, it seems to make the wondrous mundane. I used something similar back when I was 16; now I recall I should have done it differently.

Truth be said, I'd prefer extraplanar pocket realms to be more mysterious, personalized, surreal than an utilitarian hideaway that is on sale. Go to Comment

Well presented. 4/5 Go to Comment

ah, the tiny hut of Mr. Leomund re-imagined. The presentation is good. I also like the plothook involving succubi and the ghost of the owner, who has paid a steep price for his horniness :)

I usually shy away from "Cute magic" and in my opinion extra dimensional space is deal changer in all games, but this is fantastic. In my younger gaming days, things like this were the end all of be all of the fantasy setting. I like the plot attached, the mechanics of the item and the presentation is wonderful. Really a useable submission well put together and with fun tone to the piece. Go to Comment

Cool item - the plot idea at the end really made it for me! Go to Comment

Thank you for the comments. FYI I only presented it in a salesman type way for fun and to see if I could sell it to you as authors or DMs. Yes, I would think an object like this would be very rare and if it were on sale I would suspect something pretty bad to come of it (i.e. a dumping feature similar to the damning sack by valadaar). I think that utility magic is always underrated and perhaps the power level of this item is too high. Go to Comment

wish I had one of these cause its bad ass

I wouldn't say we don't like stats at all. They can be useful in understanding the properties of an item, if used properly. Don't get discouraged, it's just a site policy (That I think some are overly zealous about) to remain system-neutral and try to make submissions able to fit into anyone's game. All in all, very nice first post. Keep them coming. Go to Comment

3.5....-0.5 for the stats, otherwise it would be a 4. Go to Comment

We don't really like stats mentioned here very much. Go to Comment

Yep, we are a stats-free site, but you can always put into words what the effects are.

I like the item. Protection for the gore-hound :) and nice quirks on the potential drawbacks. Go to Comment

I like it, too. It would be useful to have when running around dungeons and mysterious ruins. Just hope you don't run into a pack of undead. I think that a character may be well-advised to not charge it until the first creature killed outside of town, to avoid getting suspicious glances from the constabulary.

 Which brings me to a question: Does the Blood Cloak always have the same amount of blood dripping from it? Or would it gradually lose liquid as the charge is used up? For instance, if you've almost run out of stored blood, might you only appear as some sort of crazed murderer with a few splatters?

 Bonus points for providing a cursed equivalent.

Nice idea, developed well enough to be useful and with some nice hints about expansion. I know a few players who would really enjoy this.

Could you put the coat on pigs and then slaughter them to charge it?

Neat item

Now, there are few grammar issues you might want to clear up.

"When the wearer takes damage from a piercing, slashing, or hacking weapons the number of hitpoints the wearer loses are added to the cloak's hitpoints as long as that does not take the cloak above it's maximum (providing the wearer does have blood sorry warforged etc.)."

I'd break that into a couple of sentences with one specifically intended to screen out beings without blood. The provision there simply does not fit as part of the current sentence.

Just so I don't mess this up again in the future... What was wrong with the stats? Thanks. Go to Comment

Obviously, feel free to tailor to your uses. Here's what I had in mind: When it's fully charged, the wearer looks like they just went for a bath in a river of blood. As it looses charges, the points of impact are 'dried' and become the original brown color. So yes, I agree with your statement that the wearer of a slightly charged blood cloak would look like a crazed murderer with just a few splatters. If the wearer receives a cut, his own blood makes a big red spot on the cloak at the point of the hit just like blood would spread in normal clothes.

Thanks for the comment. After all these years you wonder if anyone looks at your old submissions anymore. Go to Comment
