Top 5 Underrated But AMAZING Common Items In D&D

Mastiff is GREAT as a find steed, I had a big lady as my Kobold Paladin

Ok now I want t ask my dm to include a snow/mountain halfling warrior clan that use mastiffs instead of ponies in his next world

My 2 favorite magic items are not actually useful at all, the Cloak of Billowing and the Doublet of Dramatic Demise, they just make roleplay so much fun

Well you can actually MAKE a dog just not a living one.

Never thought i could use my moon touch sword like that, interesting 🤔

Going into a one shot and we are allowed one common magic item. This is a great video reference :-). Took clockwork amulet for my cleric and suggested our warlock take the dark shard amulet as they have proficiency in arcana. 😊

"how to be annoying with magic items for no reason"

The "lights off" trick of the sword didnt actually work.
Yes, you turn off the light and the enemy has disadvantage to hit you because he cant see you, buuuut, he also has advantage against you because YOU cant see him, so yeah, it cancels the disadvantage and per raw, those dont stack so the attack is a Normal roll, so yeah... in RAW, a pair of non-darkvision creatures, fighting on the dark, knowing where the other is but without seeing it, will fight at normal attack rolls, just like on normal light... 😂🤣🤔🤔🤔

Can you use a disguise kit on a dog?

Lots of fun could be had with that.
Be a grung that rides in on a mastiff sized dragon

Technically you can create mastiff if you artificer of right sub-class

Halflings being able to mount smaller creatures is amazing, one of the members in my party has a large chicken she rides

You think that Mastiff is awesome on it's base form?
Try making it a Warrior Side Kick.
Fighter Dog.
Fighter Dog.

I used the robe of useful things to get 2 mastiffs. Both died in one hit in one turn and then were turned in c6 zombie dogs. Yeah not a fan lol

…I feel like such a knobhead now. I passed up many of these items after reading their descriptions when choosing what magic item my artificer knows how to make. I ended up choosing the cap of waterbreathing.

Firebolt wouldn't ignite the wizards book as long as it is being worn or carried by the wizard. It's like one of the most important lines of text in firebolt: "A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn’t being worn or carried."

P.S. fireball won't ignite it the book either, because it has the same line of text. the reason this is done is for the exact reason you described. Its so players that are spell casters and have cloth clothes, or light armored classes like rogues in leather armor don't burst into fames. Another reason is because fireball and firebolt, depending on your DM, make magical fire and would ignore certain resistances and immunities as well.

Where i can get this items. What book i need to look for them?

I like mastiffs they are powerful polymorph targets. A loyal dog with the stats of a great ape or if your dm allows a trex is vicious

The keen hearing and smell gives the Mastiff 13+5 perception on hearing and smell related checks, but it stays 13 for everything else?

I wasn't allowed to have a Mastiff because my DM said they were to broken :c
