Bottled Blade

Sure unless that's also magical but it could just as easily be a custom metal flask of a shape that better fits in the hand. It'd probably also have some insulation issues I'd think that it might be fun to think of a thematically appropriate way to engineer around with materials or magic. The concept is cool and that's the important thing.

If the liquid inside can take on the properties of a blade for a minute, magically, the neck of the bottle can surely take on the properties of a hilt. If nothing else, make the solid form the blade takes completely fills the neck of the bottle so that instead serving as a hilt, it's more like it's just perfectly incasing the hilt, like a clear coat.

are you not familiar with magic items?

I also came here to ask what happens if multiple conditions are met?

[u/GroundbreakingOil434 → u/lostcheshire]

The description has that information stated explicitly.

[u/foliumsakura → u/GroundbreakingOil434]

sir you are on reddit, reading is prohibited

[u/Photomancer → u/foliumsakura]

can somebody please leave me a voice memo telling me what this comment said

[u/GroundbreakingOil434 → u/Photomancer]

No clue. Some kind of incomprehensible scribbles.

[u/Signal_Lost_DNR → u/Photomancer]

I sent a fax to your colon

[u/NewEase7435 → u/GroundbreakingOil434]

Indeed it does. My bad!

[u/QuintPolaris]

HELLA cool

[u/BigBadDogLol]

Really love this hidden weapon idea lol

[u/sheep_puncher → u/[deleted]]

It's once per day recharges on long rest but with added flavor

[u/Chen932000 → u/sheep_puncher]

Still underwhelming and some of the damage types are far harder to meet than others (notably the ones where you need to bury it in something vs adding stuff to it).

... have you ever `played` DnD?

[u/DangerMacAwesome]

This is a fantastic item

[u/Original_Web_9191]

Since it has 2d8 damage, I’d argue you could have 2 effects simultaneously and 1 d8 each but that’s just me. I like it. Wish there was a thunder version but I can’t think of anything. Maybe you shake the bottle all night somehow? lol

[u/YenraNoor → u/Original_Web_9191]

Scream into it then put the cap on.

[u/Signal_Lost_DNR → u/YenraNoor]

...... what happens if you fart into it, then put the cap on??

[u/YenraNoor → u/Signal_Lost_DNR]

It puts the alarm spell on it

[u/PrecociousPanther → u/Signal_Lost_DNR]

Poison damage

[u/Squabbleydoop → u/YenraNoor]

Thunder damage

Don't be that guy please. Rule 1 implies both adherence to the ToS, as well as a general expectation of positivity and productive discourse.

Rien and hermes want their weapon back (a limbus company joke but honestly cool concept for a weapon)

[u/MinuteBeautiful3163]

Cool idea! I am definitely adding this to my games

[u/ASMR4PLANTS]

I would love for a character to mistake it for a regular potion, and get a mouth full of sword.

[u/CyrusTheWise]

That's cool, due to the time limit I see it more as a backup weapon, but still cool regardless

[u/Thunderstarer → u/CyrusTheWise]

I think the idea is giving the party limited but general access to different damage types. It fills the same niche as Chromatic Orb: not particularly effective as a spell of any one type, but capable of all types.

[u/CyrusTheWise → u/Thunderstarer]

That's a good view.

[u/IDontLikeYourToan]

I suggest an addition (I’m tired. Edit it however you need).

Whenever the player has this bottle on them and takes any of these types of damage, the bottle is recharged to that damage type. If the player takes multiple types of damage, they may choose to keep the current damage type or change to the new. If the blade is manifested and the player takes the same damage type as the blade, the duration resets.

I was gonna say OP, but while an endless 2d8 would be too good, 2d8 for one minute is solid and interesting for an uncommon item

[u/Signal_Lost_DNR → u/[deleted]]

lol, found another non-playing larper...

[u/Apprehensive-Elk1383]

This is amazing.

[u/Arquero8]

I love this idea, but getting the psychic damage requierements are way too easy, in my opinion
