I actually homebrewed a bow for my Ranger: Emerald Archer's Bow Longbow, Legendary Item gifted to the first Ranger, from Queen Olivia of the Star Lands. The magic weapon has 5 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d4+1 charges daily at dawn. Grappling Arrow. You may expend 1 charge to transform an ordinary arrow into a slender but durable grappling hook. You may fire the grappling hook at bow range, and a thin gossamer rope will magically uncoil behind it, matching the distance of the arrow flight. If you successfully secure the grappling hook (DM to determine difficulty), the rope is strong enough to support 1000 lbs. of weight. After ten minutes, the grappling hook transforms back into an arrow and the magic rope dissolves into nothingness. Smoke Arrow. You can use an action and expend 1 charge to fire an arcane arrow, which lands at a point within range and starts to emit a cloud of smoke. One round after it lands, the smoke creates a heavily obscured area in a 20-foot-radius. A moderate wind disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind disperses it in 1 round. Torch Arrow. You can use an action and expend 1 charges to fire an arcane arrow at a point within range. Once loosed the arrow erupts in to flame similar to a torch. Once landing the arrow burns for an hour and otherwise acts like a standard torch.

One more bit about the sun blade: shocking, the light it emits is counted as sun light which sorta makes it the bane of vampire and under dark dwellers with sun light weakness as well.

Glamoured studded leather is often overlooked in favour of the hat of disguise, but is actually a really useful disguise item. You can change it to look like any type of clothes or armour, meaning you could disguise yourself as a noble, or as a knight in full plate, or a simple peasant in rags. It comes in particularly handy for changelings who can change their body but not their clothes and would normally have to take a minute to get changed, but with the glamoured studded leather they can change their clothes immediately to match their new form.

For nova you get Hexblade’s Curse into Magic Missile. For control you can Wrathful Smite into Booming Blade, then next turn Cunning Action disengage into Eldritch Blast + Repelling Blast, and the target can’t get close to you. Because Hexblade allows you to just pump Charisma (leaving DEX at 14), after Arcane Trickster 9 Magical Ambush you can go straight into Sorcerer with maxed out casting stat and save DC and always get disadvantage to saves against spells you cast with Cunning Action hide.

Note about the animated shield: The penalty for using a shield when you lack proficiency isn't dependant on "using" a shield but "wearing" it so rogues, who lack shield proficiency, make good use of the animated shield

Great vid. I like the Sun Blade wildcard, but you didn't mention of of the best features, which is that the Sun Blade does radiant damage instead of slashing or piercing. Very few things are resistant to radiant and a good number are radiant vulnerable or at least can't regenerate if hit with radiant damage.

One common magic item from Xanathar's Guide to Everything that would be useful for a human, or anyone without darkvision is the Moon-Touched sword, which can be placed on any sword (or any weapon/armor with homebrewing). Basically, in darkness, there's bright light for 15 feet around the unsheathed sword, and an additional 15 feet of dim light past that. Useful in situations where you need to see but are unable to use a torch.

I've been going back and forth on giving the rogue in my campaign slippers of spider climbing, and if it's not going going be useful or maybe even too powerful. I'm glad to know it"s a good choice!

I've found most games don't worry about ammo counting anymore. In mine I quit making my players track ammo and the only time a "reload" mechanic comes into play is if you roll a natural 1 on a ranged weapon. In the case of a bow the string snaps or the dodge roll you performed to avoid getting hit spilled your quiver. Usually I just make it cost a bonus action on your next turn to restring or collect your arrows. That way the ammo is present but isn't as tedious.

OMG this is the first time I have seen the Kelly stache style. That rocks man good on you, looking great with that stache!

The weapon of warning is such a good party item. Everyone benefits from someone being attuned to it. My level 17 Horizon Walker ranger always had one on him

I like the idea of a Gloom Stalker using a Frostbrand sword. Not onlt does it add 1d6 cold damage and give you resistance to fire damage, but it can also be used to put out all non-magical flames in 30ft once per hour. Combat starts and it's lights out: Let the Umbral Carnage begin!

'Flight opens up many options' *looks at my Aaracochra and my Raven that, many times after performing actions, got the DM to say 'shit, I forgot you could fly'

The Cloak of Displacement is very nice in an arcane trickster using mirror image with the sentinel feat. I played a campaign where my character used this combo to somewhat effectively Frontline for a short period as well as getting some virtually guaranteed kills.

Great Kaiser Wilhelm mustache! Also great stuff. Thanks for posting!

New episode, yay :) Awesome!

Weapon of Warning is almost always my first choice when it comes to acquiring a magic item. Advantage on Initiative, and can’t be surprised? Amazing.

Love you guys, keep up the work. Do have to say though Rangers have the same hit dice as Fighters at 1d10 and with light armor a Dex class only has 1 less AC than a heavy armor wearer with plate armor. Goes down by 2 more for rogues if the person is using a shield but ranger has that option too. Not saying the item was a bad choice though, cloak of displacement is amazing.

As with the previous one, this is also a solid guide and I thank you for it :D

THANK you for mentioning drizzt when you brought up the figures

Alchemy jug. The sustainably is a very on point for a ranger, and the on-tap oil, acid, and poison is super useful for those who engage in creative play, and is an excellent tool to add to the bag of tricks. Though not a literal bag of tricks.

Love the stache Kelly. Just enough to get notice without being too exaggerated

I agree with Kelly that winged boots are a massive pain for DMs. It's hard to balance an encounter when your warlock says "I'll just fly really high and start eldritch blasting them with spell sniper."

Great timing, I'm playing a Ranger ina call starting next weekend, my Ranger is a Elf who is Insane so it will be interesting

First of all I played as a rogue that enjoys misdirection. As an arcane trickster I came upon a deck of illusions. I took a deck of illusion and upgraded the enchantment to have a physical form deal damage and do my command. It's quite fun to get a random ally or distraction.

Love the timestamps

I gave my party a hat of disguise after rolling it randomly on a table after a random dungeon. The rouge of course grabbed it and it became an iconic part of his outfit... he also may have used it to sneak into an elven palace and sleep with the princess which certainly led to some interesting events

You guys are great and so was the video!

Also an item for a campeign I'm working on is very similar to an animated shield only it looks like a crystal ball, shoots guiding bolts, casts light and requires spell slots to recharge it. The higher the level the longer it will last.

As a wild card item I have always liked the Glamoured Studded Leather. Just so much you can do with this in a city campaign where you have to BS you way through places.

This was a surprisingly helpful video! Every one of these items was really cool, I love all of your vids (=

AWESOME mustache. My last ranger character had the same. Very robinhoody feel

Haha. I am currently playing a human rogue with the goggles of night. They are very helpful. I would say that once you hit 5th level is a good spot to get them. The player has had a little while using torches or just plain not being able to see that they will really appreciate the item.

I play a Rogue (Scout subclass) in our campaign, and although it doesn't really tie into the standard rogue play style, she gave us a Decanter of Endless Water and I use that at every possible opportunity.

Kelly the mustache rocks brother. I rock the handle bar myself 👍

I'd also add the shadowfell brand tattoo. Darkvision, advantage on stealth checks and you can half damage against you once a day.

Fun fact: Googles of Night stack! The more pairs you have the farther you can see in darkness.

I had a Swashbuckler Rogue a while back who absolutely loved his Sun Blade . I currently have a Wood Elf , GloomStalker Ranger , Assassin Rogue with Goggles of Night ......... 150ft of Darkvision . At night most things don't know what just killed them .

For me, one of the best uses of the Sun Blade on a rogue is as a beacon for held actions, especially for other party members that don't have dark vision. Say a human wizard holds a spell for when your rogue in stealth/invisibility goes behind enemy lines to sneak attack the right enemy, to suddenly no longer have disadvantage on said spell. Can be a devastating combo for picking out ranged/squishy enemies.

My 1st character was a multi-class Wood Elf Ranger/Rogue. He did have 2 of the items mentioned: ▶Slippers of Spider Climbing ▶Goggles of Night Other useful items I had: ▶Gloves of Missile Snaring (if you don't like getting shot at or shit thrown at you, you can potentially catch the object and shoot or throw it back of the enemy!). ▶Efficient Quiver (3 extradimensional compartments Small holds up to 60 arrows or bolts, Medium up to 18 javelins (or similar), & Large up to 8 spears (trident, bows, etc). For a ranger or Rogue that shoots or throws things, it's helpful! ▶Blinkback Belt (Pathfinder Item: Can hold up to 4 small weapons and if you throw such weapon, it automatically teleports back to your belt at the end of your turn.) Rogues love their daggers, so this is invaluable! Because I had so many items, I made a specific set for Ranger only, Rogue only, or a mix depending on the environment I was in.

Kelly's Mustache looks like the one he envisioned for Wilhelm Wolfsbane

One possibility that is admittedly trickier to implement than the figurines is the Bag of Tricks. The randomness of the creatures spawned each day makes it harder to balance encounters, especially at lower levels. This is definitely an item you give at mid-level at the earliest, because speaking from experience, the person you give it to will love the little scamps and they *will* spawn all three critters at the first opportunity. Probably works best with campaigns focused on dungeon crawling.

Kelly should absolutely have the opportunity to get the Goggles of Night! I feel his pain as a halfling rogue, but I bugged my DM long enough that a set showed up in a shop eventually. I'm broke, but my wealthy party companion hooked me up. I'm also currently petrified at the bottom of a lake in a giant air bubble. Time will tell if/how I get restored.

I recently made a Hat of Disguise for the Forge Cleric in the first campaign I ever joined. From what we've gathered recently, the kingdom seems interested in potentially abducting her and forcing her to make magic weapons and armour for them. So we've taken a small group of us away from our home on an adventure to look into a prophecy we were given, as well as trying to look for any ruins of my people. I made the Hat of Disguise for her so she could protect her identity. Also, as far as decent magic items go, since Rangers have proficiency in Medium armour and are generally squishy, I think a fairly decent choice for bumping up their AC (which wasn't around at the time this video went up) is the Serpent Scale Armour. An uncommon magic Scale Mail that lets the wearer use their full Dexterity Modifier for the AC calculation (like a piece of Light Armour or Mage Armour) and doesn't impose disadvantage on Stealth could be a pretty valuable asset, and it doesn't even require an attunement slot

One item that I like that has some nice uses is the Quiver of Ehlonna.

I have a Lv 5 Character (Lv 3 Gloom Stalker Ranger/Lv 1 Rogue/Lv 1 Forge Cleric). She is a Harengon, so she has the ability to rabbit hop (jump) up to 5x her proficiency bonus w/o provoking opportunity attacks. This works really well when trying to get out of aggro range of enemies, and even stacks with the Jump spell for an additional x3 to the distance (so with Jump spell activated, she can hop up to 45 ft away at Lv 5 as a BA). She also managed to find some Night Foot Boots (the DM roles available magic items randomly from a very large list every in-game week). These boots give her advantage on all Stealth rolls (even against magical vision) and render her footsteps silent (even when unattuned). When combined with the Umbral Sight feature, she can travel in complete darkness (with 60ft darkvision) and be invisible to any creatures that really on darkvision. So when in darkness, her enemies (or allies) cannot see or hear her at all. I also took Blind Fighting as my Fighting Style, and have already used the feature twice. I would like to make use of the Fog Cloud spell to sneak up on enemies and attack them with this feature. She has +8 to initiative rolls, as well as advantage. Hare-trigger allows you to add PB to initiative. Dread Ambusher (Ranger) allows you to add WIS modifier to initiative. And Natural Explorer (Ranger) gives you advantage to all initiative rolls. Her other major attuned magic item is a Silver Spatula, that applies the effects of the Heroes Feast spell (6th Lv) to any food prepared with it. This gives anyone who eats the food advantage to WIS saving throws, Immunity to poison and being frightened, and an extra 2d10 to the HP maximum (that lasts for 24 hrs). It also heals all poison and disease. As she is a Cleric of a Lawful Good deity, I would like for her to start using this item to start healing diseases that usually seen as incurable. I put her 2 Expertise in Investigation and Perception, and Revised Ranger gives her advantage to tracking all humanoids (Survival). I have already used the combination of several of these features on 2 separate occasions. The first was to track the 1st major boss (by myself) from the tavern (following only faint muddy bootprints left about 1 day from the seen of the crime), through a crowded town, to an abandoned rickity shack where the boss was by himself with his dog asleep. I ended up accidently waking him up and managed to escape after seeing him by dashing across the room, hopping to the top of the stairs, dashing across the yard, and then leaping onto the roof tops in order to break initiative. The 2nd time I tracked people, I ended up following the footprints for an hour until they led into a pitch black sewer. I managed to keep the trail, and came upon a cult performing a ritual to animate a corpse using worms (this cult is a major part of the story/plot of this campaign). I watched the ritual until I failed a Wis saving throw, and something possessed my shadow (a Dust Wraith) that had been following me for awhile. I managed to get the High Priest (as a fellow Cleric, I had connections and woke him up in the middle of the night) to banish the creature from my shadow, but if it hadn't been for my Blind Sight, I wouldn't have even known it was there to begin with. Overall, I am really enjoying this character. This is the first time I have played a Gloom Stalker Ranger, and currently plan on taking 8 levels in Cleric and 11 levels in Ranger total. On the next Level, I want to take the Eldritch Adept Feat (for Mask of Many Faces) because with the Cult theme and in a campaign that has several themes from the Horror genre, there are going to be several towns that I need to enter that are not friendly to Fey creatures (like Harengon) and the ability to cast Disguise Self at will will be very useful. I am a small creature (3'2'' tall, or 3'8'' tall with my ears upright), so I plan on mostly disguising as Gnomes or Halflings. And to make the disguises more believable, I am going to carry several changes of clothes for certain occasions, and then use the Disguise Self feature to change the colors of the clothes, rather than the type of clothes themselves. I will also be wearing clothing that covers the majority of my fur, so that they can't feel it if they touch my hands or arms, etc. I also want to take the Crossbow Expert Feat, but am not decided yet on the other 2 feats/ASI's I would like to take yet. What do you think about this character build so far? Does it sound interesting to you? Any comments or suggestions on what other Feats you think would be useful for me to take?

Another good thing about the Sun Blade for more underhanded characters is that it's just a longsword hilt until you want it to be a sword. This opens up interesting possibilities for sneaking it into places where you wouldn't normally be *allowed* to carry a sword. The average town guard is not necessarily well-versed in Arcana, so with a little bit of bullshittery like "this is just a sentimental item and a lucky charm to me" or "oh, I still gotta take that to the blacksmith to get it fixed" you might get them to think it's just a broken weapon not worth confiscating.

My lvl 4 rogue just won a cloak of elvenkind in a fight, and let me tell you - having advantage on every stealth check I make while everyone else has disadvantage on perception checks against me is *chefs kiss*

For our current campaign, The Wild Beyond The Witchlight, the GM permitted a single magic item that wasn't a weapon. For my Half-elf Gloomstalker I selected Nature's Mantle for sheer flavour.

Monty should drop several hints about where some Goggles of Night can be found (only one of which turns out to be true), for stealing, NPC interaction, combat, however the party decides to roll.

Kelly the stache is glorious!

The Vicious Longbow or dagger is a nice weapon to pick for both Rogues or rangers. +7 damage when you crit is a great thing to have for medium lvls.

Gloves of Thieving are AMAZING for Rangers even if they don't have Thieves Tools Proficient they can fill in that slot
