In Theros beyond death, Heliod was the main bad guy who eventually got what is effectively Atlas's punishment for trying to destroy/remove the other gods.

Fun fact: at the current point in the story for Theros, Thassa has lost Dekalla to a Merfolk planeswalker named Kiora, who hails from Zendikar. Kiora specializes in controlling monsters of the ocean, and gained control of the bident when she tried to take control of the leviathan that the lost city of Arixmethes was built on, and met Thassa face to face. They fought and Thassa was winning, until Kiora tricked Thassa into allowing her to talk and then planeswalked away with Dekalla. Currently, Thassa is using a spear made by Purphoros
If you're wondering why they fought it's because when Kiora arrived on Theros the Tritons mistook her as an embodiment of Thassa and Kiora used this to her advantage, which pissed off Thassa to the point of confrontation

@@NerdImmersion Akmon - the card Greates Golems, like the animate objects spell Dekella - the card compels creatures to attack, like the dominate monster spell Ephixis - the card has 4 effects, one for each season, although they don't really match the D&D effects Khrusor - the card can destroy one creature that damaged you each turn Mastix - the card drains your opponent's life and can reanimate dead creatures (dominate undead.)
I think the variations in Piety abilities are meant to be representative of the god tied to the weapon. Heliod is the authoritarian of the Theros pantheon, so it tracks that his weapon would care the most about your devotion to him. Nylea is the free spirit, so her weapon has the fewest abilities that care about piety.
That would be hilarious. "I think the DM really wants us to use this whip made of lightning" "why?" "Well we keep selling it but somehow it keeps ending up in the next bbeg's possessions." I guess that can be how certain cursed items might come into existence. Lore wise: an object gets frustrated at getting tossed aside constantly. DM wise: I really want them to use this whip. if i make it physically impossible for them to let go of it, maybe they'll use it.
I made a whip for one of my players who wanted to to a whip paladin. The Siren V3 (requires attunement) • +2 WHIP, d8 damage die, • Lightning Strike: On a critical hit this weapon deals the target creature 5 additional lightning damage. • Death’s Call: You learn the chill touch cantrip. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for it. • Siren’s Wail: 1/long rest you can cast thunder step as a bonus action • This item increases your Charisma score by 2 up to a max of 2
I have a character who uses a whip, reflavored as one of the chains that kept him chained to a wall, but the reason I think most people don't use them is because it's essentially a dagger but is restricted to characters with a martial weapon proficiency, so most classes can't even use it, and the ones who can use it have better options for damage output. Even the rogue, who would be able to use it the best, would probably prefer a regular dagger still because it has a thrown range and can be hidden away easier then a whip
I respect your love for Castlevania. I still hope to some day get a vampire killer type whip for my Belmont build and play Curse of Strahd. I would totally use your designed whips. I know my own group, no one uses the whip because of its lack of damage. A lot of players enjoy the sword and board build or the two-handed weapons to make them look more bad ass.
Fun fact, Erebos is isn't considered evil despite being the god of death. He simply manages the Underworld and exercises the inevitably of death itself. In Theros Beyond Death, Heliod was actually the bad guy as he had killed his champion out of fear and vanity, then begins to try to unseat all the other gods. This starts a war where his champion can escape the Underworld, and convinces the majority population that krusor, heliods real spear, was a fake imitation of her spear. Since Theros works off belief, the spear shatters. Then heliod gets a punishment not unlike Atlas, and that's the last we heard of him. Some GOOOOD Greek level stuff.
The titan in this book is one of the best monster designs I have seen in 5e "spoilers Multible stage monster" and I am in love really really love that design so much !!! its really how you can make an epic 1 v many monster. Edit: If you want to make a whip viable add more damage dice to be able to compete with other weapons and a type of ability. Trip attack . swing movement etc
The best one in actual paper magic is mostly considered to be the Bident of Thassa. This is soo cool though I had no idea Magic crossed into D&D it makes total sense though lol
Whip made of lightning paired with the booming blade cantrip would be awesome. Hit an enemy not by anyone and force them to either take damage from bb by moving up to melee or waste a turn not doing anything.
But Ted Guc is a god or at less have a seat waiting for him in Nyx according to Klothys. Yes Tartyx is Styx and True Polymorph is 1 hour to become that creature permanently. I want that Bow just because it's tied to Nylea. Nyx is the domain of the Deity's
I was kind of thinking these might be like the Wildemount ones. It does make sense to make them tied to the updated piety system though. Could be interesting trying to combine them in some way.
Well, given that were going for mythical feel, one would expect the concept of blasting people with magic be somewhat alien to the genre. Still, it is bit sad. Maybe they could have made up something tied with lesser gods, most of them aren't fighter material.
issue is they cut and pasted these from the card game. no ones main weapon was a staff. id assume if they made one fore Keranso or Karametra it'd be for casters
Considering the lore of Theros, it doesn't make sense for there to be things for casters. Magic comes from Nyx, the realm of dreams where the gods reside. It is an inherent ability of beings of Nyx, namely the gods and the Nyxborn creatures, or those whom are beings effectively made of magic. Normal beings able to cast magic do so through the power of Nyx and of the gods. Its more divine, a matter of faith, than nature. If you read what sort of stuff it says, its fairly uncommon and low magic outside of faith based stuff, at least thematically. Those who cast magic do so because they are destined, fated, chosen by the gods to accomplish great tasks, or because they worship a specific god enough to be granted the ability through them. Obviously, this is more through interpretation, but just look at how they explain things. There's little mention of magic when talking about lore, except when talking about the powers of the gods or the ways they help mortals. None of the gods really embody magic. The closest that really fits to aiding casters is the piety system often allowing innate spellcasting abilities. Besides, the artifacts are meant to be the weapons of the major gods, what they use themselves to fight each other, and when they have such innate magical abilities, it doesn't make sense for them to have artifacts with only use for spellcasting. Instead, the weapons they have give a weapon and grant magical abilities
@@danielgold9487 Keranos and Karametra are minor gods, not as powerful as the major five gods like Heliod. They wouldn't get their own artifacts. But even if they did, Keranos is iffy to say, but why would Karametra, goddess of harvest, get a caster ability? Most likely would be Kruphix and Klothys, gods of Destiny and Horizons, embodying fate and the future
Isn't Erebos a good guy in the lore? Idk I'm not well versed in the MtG story. I am however versed in ancient Greek Mythology and the Elysian Fields were NOT opposite of the underworld, they were PART of it. Everyone went to Hades when they died and were sorted depending on how good and bad they were
From what I remember Erebos isn't so much good as neutral. Death comes for everyone, and you can either embrace it when it's your time or you can try to escape it, kinda like that. He does however pardon Elspeth (the main character of the theros story) for escaping from the underworld and allows her to come back to life because she succeeds in locking Heliod in the underworld, and Erebos really hates Heliod.
I don’t play DnD but the fact you can turn Heliod’s spear into shadowspear true to mtg lore is nuts, also look up Erebos’s whip, it’s actually huge as fuck, which explains why it can reach to such lengths.
I would love to see a vid of your own home-brew magic items at some point. Big fan of whips here, too. I ended up making a whole class of "soft weapons" for my game - meteor hammer, rope dart, etc. one of my players has a shadow monk from a monastery known for using such weapons, and it's been fucking badass.
Regarding why the gods would give out these artifacts, the text at the top of each one's description states why they might. For example, Purphoros rarely lends it to mortals, but often leaves it unattended, so its more likely to be stolen than given. When it is given, its to create something special or to prevent something being destroyed. Also, in regards to destroying the artifacts, the alignments of the gods tend to be more... Subjective than objective, at least in terms of good vs evil, though the earlier chapters listing information about them will way what alignments best suit their champions, though does also say champions don't necessarily worship the god that champions them. For example, Erebos is often considered evil, ruling over dead and wanting the dead to remain that way. He is also against Heliod, whom is viewed as good. However, in the MTG sets that happened in Theros, Heliod started a war among the gods and killed his own champion because she was too powerful, thanks to his own influence. So Erebos is evil because he opposes Heliod... But Heliod is arrogant and prideful to the point of starting war to prove his strength and killing someone he chose to fight for him out of fear she was more powerful than him. And when Heliod lost the war, Erebos was the one to punish him, and thanked the champion Heliod betrayed by allowing her to return to life. So... which sounds more evil? Its a matter of perspective and situation. Another reason one might want to destroy an artifact of the gods, aside from a mission from an opposing god, would be if one was a Leonin or other iconoclast, loathing the gods as a whole. Or, one could be tricked into doing it by another. As am example using the lore, an Archon attempting to take back rule over Theros from the gods might convince a party that the gods have done something wrong and deserve to be punished by destroying their weapons, or might trick them into thinking the weapons were stolen and makes them think they are retrieving them, and may lead them to believe that what they are doing will return the weapons to the gods instead of actually destroying them, either option being an attempt to weaken the gods so the Archon might defeat them while pinning the blame on mortals should the plan fail.
speaking of whips... my DM gave me a whip called Nebula that deals extra 2d6 radiant damage on EVERY ATTACK and on a reaction i can attack my attacker. I am playing a monk and that was dealing an absurd amount of damage. Btw i am level 6.
I love castlevania and Belmont is one of my favorite characters and I'd love to use a whip in combat but I always have a hard time picturing one being used in combat
Sir, pertaining to your making of a whip, I was in a game where a swashbuckler had a rapier that turned into a whip like ivys sword from soul Calibur a simple switch turned it into the whip or brought it back to sword shape and if you caught them with it in the whip and, flip the switch if they were smaller than you they were brought to you and if you were smaller than them you were brought to them. My halfling swashbuckler loved it.
A couple things: Purphoros is neither good or evil (like all the Therosian gods). He's loving, caring, loyal and creative, but also explosive, vengeful and (again, like all the Therosian gods) spiteful. Also, destroying Mastix is even harder than you made it sound. Not only do you have to bring it to the holiest place in the realm of the gods, an UNDEAD has to unwind it there. The Returned are an abomination to most of the gods of Nyx, so getting one into what is essentially Heliod's throne room is going to get you smote with great prejudice.
@@Markcrazeer That would be the best way to convince him. As soon as you bring up trying to destroy it he would be practically salivating to get it done. That would honestly be a great way to gain a decent chunk of piety with Heliod
woo love it it when I'm early... kinda want to be an agent of erebos just so I could steal the spear and convert it into an evil version, maybe have it merge into the whip so it has multiple forms like a whip, a spear and...I don't know a sword. definitely might take some of these and turn them into weapons for my Percy Jackson game still need help designing my sword of hades edit spelling
I've been reading the comments and I noticed a lot of likes from NI and that cheers things up knowing he so quickly reads through peoples comments. I hate how the bow was designed honestly, because as one of the ONLY magical bows out there, it's too quirky. Not enough diversity, like the oath bow. And that's a huge issue because most bow users are trying to be creative and fluent and they just can't be. Could've done better is all I'm saying, cause for an artifact item it's not exactly what anyone would eagerly go for. Whip is a disappointment too, for that +1 detrimental effect it should have more spells related to the undead like how the hammer had 4. Theres plenty of necromancy spells to have chosen from, and for one of the two spells to just be something from the enchantment class is a bit of a let down. Hammer was well made, as was the spear. Bident would be an amazing thing to give a pirate tyrant of the seas too
This might have little to do with your video, which I enjoyed. Mainly cause it tells me is it is worth me spending the money. But I have been thinking a good bit lately about what products D&D has been putting out. Wildmount, Ravnica, and Theros might be cool new settings but how many people really wanted them? If there is a lot then fine. Always smart business to go with the masses, but I highly doubt it. Personally, I want old settings reimagined. I want Spelljammer, Darksun, or Mystara. I know I can't just get what I want but I know I am not alone. I guess I am not interested in any of the MTG inspired settings because they don't feel connected to anything else. I don't know anything about those settings and have not felt that just saying here is a new setting is enough to get our attention. Maybe it would be more interesting if there was something to pull people in. I literally don't know how I would add Ravnica or Theros into my game. All I see is the cool new races, subclasses, or ideas they offer like the piety system, that make me want to tweak it and use it in the Forgotten Realms. Mainly because we have gotten very little for the Forgotten Realms outside of adventure books. Personally, I own most of the 3rd ed Forgotten Realms books So, I can easily adjust this stuff for my table, but most people playing D&D today know nothing of the past. And I am sorry, but if you just want to kill what has been why did they buy it?
I think it is, which makes me sad. I am fine with it being a shortbow (although longbow would have definitely made it more powerful) but I would personally just put in an extra major beneficial property at 50+
Since the hammer makes you immune to exhaustion, it would go really well on a berserker Barbarian.
could a barbarian also wear the molten armour?
I thought the same thing

I literally put the Morning Star whip in my D&D month ago and it hasn't been used :[
I love castlevania I am working on a character like that uses whip like the varmpire hunters in the games
We have the same B-Day!
That hammer doesn't look very useable, due to the rounded edge
Like a double ball-peen hammer lol
That's how warhammers are shaped. It focuses the force into a smaller point.
@@calvinwarlick8533 Ahhhhhh I see, thanks!
How long have you been waiting to use that "Are you a God?" Line? Lol.
I made a badass artifact in the game I'm playing!
Both my hands can extrude whips with hands at the end now!
Don't worry I love whips. I wish my dm would do that.
A couple things:
Purphoros is neither good or evil (like all the Therosian gods). He's loving, caring, loyal and creative, but also explosive, vengeful and (again, like all the Therosian gods) spiteful.
Also, destroying Mastix is even harder than you made it sound. Not only do you have to bring it to the holiest place in the realm of the gods, an UNDEAD has to unwind it there. The Returned are an abomination to most of the gods of Nyx, so getting one into what is essentially Heliod's throne room is going to get you smote with great prejudice.
you might be able to convince him to let you do it because it would really piss off erebos.
@@Markcrazeer Ah Petty, one of my favorite motivations
@@Markcrazeer That would be the best way to convince him. As soon as you bring up trying to destroy it he would be practically salivating to get it done. That would honestly be a great way to gain a decent chunk of piety with Heliod
woo love it it when I'm early... kinda want to be an agent of erebos just so I could steal the spear and convert it into an evil version, maybe have it merge into the whip so it has multiple forms like a whip, a spear and...I don't know a sword.
definitely might take some of these and turn them into weapons for my Percy Jackson game still need help designing my sword of hades
edit spelling
did not know but thanks ...hmm probably still attempt in stealing it to see what happens when Erebos gets it
Is the lighting whip from ratchet and clank?
It was actually based off one of the Castlevania games
dat BOOOOOOOOOOOW
& whip.
but that BOOOOOOOOOW lol
I´m actually surprised the bident of Thassa doesn´t have that annoying ass blink mechanic Thassa herself has in MTG
I've been reading the comments and I noticed a lot of likes from NI and that cheers things up knowing he so quickly reads through peoples comments. I hate how the bow was designed honestly, because as one of the ONLY magical bows out there, it's too quirky. Not enough diversity, like the oath bow. And that's a huge issue because most bow users are trying to be creative and fluent and they just can't be. Could've done better is all I'm saying, cause for an artifact item it's not exactly what anyone would eagerly go for. Whip is a disappointment too, for that +1 detrimental effect it should have more spells related to the undead like how the hammer had 4. Theres plenty of necromancy spells to have chosen from, and for one of the two spells to just be something from the enchantment class is a bit of a let down. Hammer was well made, as was the spear. Bident would be an amazing thing to give a pirate tyrant of the seas too
Thank you.
You never heard Hades' Bident? like seriously?
Just came here to say:
That thumbnail looks an awful lot like my bathroom floor...
Are you a god?
Uhm... so ive been watching your content for maybe 7months now, without realizing im not subscribed.
My deepest apologies
This might have little to do with your video, which I enjoyed. Mainly cause it tells me is it is worth me spending the money.
But I have been thinking a good bit lately about what products D&D has been putting out.
Wildmount, Ravnica, and Theros might be cool new settings but how many people really wanted them?
If there is a lot then fine. Always smart business to go with the masses, but I highly doubt it.
Personally, I want old settings reimagined. I want Spelljammer, Darksun, or Mystara.
I know I can't just get what I want but I know I am not alone.
I guess I am not interested in any of the MTG inspired settings because they don't feel connected to anything else.
I don't know anything about those settings and have not felt that just saying here is a new setting is enough to get our attention.
Maybe it would be more interesting if there was something to pull people in. I literally don't know how I would add Ravnica or Theros into my game.
All I see is the cool new races, subclasses, or ideas they offer like the piety system, that make me want to tweak it and use it in the Forgotten Realms.
Mainly because we have gotten very little for the Forgotten Realms outside of adventure books. Personally, I own most of the 3rd ed Forgotten Realms books
So, I can easily adjust this stuff for my table, but most people playing D&D today know nothing of the past. And I am sorry, but if you just want to kill what has been why did they buy it?
Uh the problem with whips is it is relatively low damage and martial so it gets passed over for better damage options
1d4 and reach with a whip or ~1d8 and reach with a polearm
Yeah, the only time it's worth it is a Kensei Monk
Oink
So early 😄
Firsssssstt
Is it just me or is the bow underpowered compared to the others?
I think it is, which makes me sad. I am fine with it being a shortbow (although longbow would have definitely made it more powerful) but I would personally just put in an extra major beneficial property at 50+
