@NautArch I would assume it was as total not spent but who knows

That is an interesting kinda loophole

Hmmm, gain a level of exhaustion for doing it?

@NautArch So if you don't need to recover hit die or have exhaustion then it shouldn't be an issue to sleep in medium/heavy

@MikeQ I got it, and I like it enough that I may well put some kind of joke about it in a game from an NPC that's selling armor

Unless we all sleep in armor like weirdos

@NautArch That would probably be his first assessment, I would likely then make a comment along the lines of "there's something about it taking time to put on armor, so technically we shouldn't have it on right now"

But that's more he doesn't know about it

My DM probably wouldn't even consider the whole don doff rules for armor if he did throw and encounter at us mid rest

@Rubiksmoose The DM really has to be like targeting it for some reason tbh, because off the top of my head there is no real threat that will come up in 99% of cases

@MikeQ That's the reason I said that you might need to clarify that you may need to "fine tune" the item, because like you said you don't want to let a loophole in rules make everyone a wizard. So just make it clear, if they are understanding there shouldn't be an issue as they will also realise that you can't account for every situation

@Rubiksmoose It's not like it comes up often anyway

@Rubiksmoose I think full plate is like 10 mins in 5e to take off

@MikeQ You could always just say to your players that you may need to "fine tune" the item if it doesn't work quite as you intend, but I kinda go back to my opinion of "if you want them to have it, then just give them it" it's your choice as DM

I see that you are a barbarian @Rubiksmoose

Since you said other players

5e has prereqs too I'm just making a hypothetical

@MikeQ If it's scrolls that other's can use, just ask your self if it's a problem if (just for example cos I know 5e mostly) the barbarian is now able to chuck out a cheeky fireball during combat

@MikeQ Well, scrolls only I might argue makes more sense than crafted items so that could be a good move. With one at a time I am assuming you mean like there can only be one "active" copy?

@MikeQ Personally I feel that if as DM it is something that you want them to be able to do then go for it, but in terms of maybe balancing it you could chuck a limit on how often they can do it

@kviiri Still a crow though right?

Can't be faulted for not knowing everything off the top of your head

A type of crow right?

Awww not the first most? :(

@kviiri Hi! Been here for a little while now though but thanks for another welcome aha

@nitsua60 you can hit the share button on the video and then choose for a time to start at

@Rubiksmoose Yeah I appreciate it, I was getting so many questions for info that I hadn't even thought of initially that I definitely couldn't keep up aha

Kind of ironic the the inverse question would be asked so soon

Or could have

@Rubiksmoose I did do an edit with some of the stuff but you seem to have gotten the essence of everything I said, probably summed it up better than I did

I'll definitely see if there is anymore great advice waiting to be posted

@NautArch I'll probably end up checkmarking your answer again in a day or two but for now I will leave it open then :)

@NautArch Yeah that answers the question and it is a great help to have the example questions too

Your judgement can be a bit clouded sometimes when you are too involved in something you know

All good, I'm just glad to have outside opinion on how to approach this

As it was my first game

He helped me make them when I joined

I was given a rundown of what was going on

Oh just to mention in relation to the session zero stuff, I am not sure if they had one but I didn't actually join until a little while in due to other commitments

It was like alchemy supplies or something, but they were the only one that did that so they couldn't actually buy them anywhere

Artificer class*

They were playing artificer wizard, so they were the only one in the town

Another player

Not the barbarian

@Rubiksmoose I haven't asked my DM yet but I didn't know how to approach it to begin with

The biggest thing that has happened with a character's backstory was that they were the only person capable of certain things in the city so when they wanted to go find some specific supply they couldn't actually get it

That was the part that irked me, he wanted the backstory but ignored it pretty much

Yes he has actually asked for backstories to be done

Hello, thank you. I will try to answer as best I can
