I love that it's a DC 10 check to copy XD

[Wanderer D]

Perfection.

[Manga Shoggoth]

This nicely sums up the whole NFT experience!

I'm amazed the 'verses Flim and Flam haven't tried something like this yet. I mean, what could go wrong..?

[Booster Spice]

Reminds me of the time someone proposed making small change out of nuclear waste so that people could Own it, just not, actually carry it around, and its checkable for validity?

[UrsaMajor]

That's perfect.

[FrostTheWolf]

That's bloody perfect

[badninja]

This is an awesome item. I wish it was real.

So... You wield a painting into battle?

Would you be willing to explain that particular part of the gag? I'm not all that knowledgeable about tabletop RPGs, and I'm willing to bet that "Throw a 1970s trijet at the trident" is not what DC 10 means in this context.

DC is how difficult the roll is. DC 10 is about as hard for the average player character as right clicking.

[KwirkyJ]

I just want to say that I also appreciate that both NFTs and RPGs have value to the participants through an agreed-upon delusion... I say this without judgement, as I am an amateur actor and enjoy the occasional RPG, if not D&D. I also rely on money.

The notion of putting an NFT in an RPG perfectly completes the cycle.

In tabletop RPGs, dice are commonly used to resolve whether or not a task succeeds. In 5th edition D&D this is accomplished by rolling a twenty-sided die (d20), adding appropriate modifiers such as dexterity bonus, and comparing it to a difficulty number. DC10 means you have to have a score of ten or higher to succeed. It's pretty much the lowest difficulty were any (non-malicious) Dungeon Master would ever call for a die roll because the chance of success is typically 70-80%.

An average person with no training or experience can do it about 50% of the time, and someone who actually knows what they're doing basically can't fail.

[circs]

It's glorious.

An enterprising DM would throw this in with some innocuous loot.

To add on to what
5658022
said I am not sure if 5e still has it or not but in 3rd there was a "Take 10" rule, where if the character "is not in danger or distracted" instead of actually rolling the d20 you just assume the die rolled a 10. So something being a DC10, or even a DC5 (!), check is something of a running joke in the D&D/Pathfinder community.

They are checks you can only fail while hindered in some way, such as being drunk or cursed and so on.

On another note if the character has the time as well as not being in danger or distracted they can "Take 20" which is just as you'd expect.

[Eroraf86]

Love the pun, hate the reality. Also, "wield" is spelled with an I-E, not an E-I.

5657995 Brings new meaning to money burning a hole in your pocket.

I might point out that the value of this object⁽*⁾ cannot go down, therefore making it a desirable investment.
(*) Object in the metaphorical sense only, since no actual objects are exchanged during the ownership process other than your money going into our pocket.

Things can always be worse.

Cursed to have a low average bias on probability?

[Golden Chaos Pony]

Not as an official rule. House rule possibly thought it would potentially conflict with the Rogue ability "Reliable Talent."

Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.[/quote

[fieryShaman]

It is an actual RAW rule.

From the D20SRD, which is essentially the D&D 3.5 ruleset, page on skill checks:

Checks Without Rolls

A skill check represents an attempt to accomplish some goal, usually while under some sort of time pressure or distraction. Sometimes, though, a character can use a skill under more favorable conditions and eliminate the luck factor.

Taking 10

When your character is not being threatened or distracted, you may choose to take 10. Instead of rolling 1d20 for the skill check, calculate your result as if you had rolled a 10. For many routine tasks, taking 10 makes them automatically successful. Distractions or threats (such as combat) make it impossible for a character to take 10. In most cases, taking 10 is purely a safety measure —you know (or expect) that an average roll will succeed but fear that a poor roll might fail, so you elect to settle for the average roll (a 10). Taking 10 is especially useful in situations where a particularly high roll wouldn’t help.

[vladspellbinder]

There is a reason the "Take 10/Take 20" rules explicitly say the character has to not "be threatened or distracted". If you are making an ability check in the middle of a chase you're certainly distracted if not also threatened.

That ability is basically a "Take 10" for when you ARE distracted or in danger.

I'm willing to bet that "Throw a 1970s trijet at the trident" is not what DC 10 means in this context.

Now I am imagining some sort of "Arcane Technomancer" type class that summons random aircraft and hurtles them down on their enemy like a flaming metal meteor.

Upon reading that my first thought was “that would’ve made 9/11 a lot easier to pull off” and imagining Osama. God damn it brain, why do you do this to me?

Not in 5e, which was what vladspellbinder was asking when I responded.

As I said I suspect because it didn't make it over officially as it would conflict with the Rogue's Reliable Talent, though some DM's may still house rule it back in.

You should have chosen a longer version of that scene. "I killed a guy with a trident" and all.

[Reese]

Hah! :D

You know, I had a thought the other day:
I wonder if anyone's tried to sell an NFT of the Brooklyn Bridge yet?

[Herald of Opera]

5659344
I know someone's tried to sell an NFT of the Mona Lisa, which is close enough for the joke (the original Mona Lisa being worth more than copies is the non-vulgar version of explaining what NFTs are).

[Reese]

...
Well, though, obviously, if Leonardo da Vinci didn't want someone else taking the opportunity, he should have just made an NFT of it himself first, right? "Being dead for hundreds of years" is just an excuse for a loser who's too lazy to get rich.
[facehoofs]

"the original Mona Lisa being worth more than copies is the non-vulgar version of explaining what NFTs are"
...I don't get it. Sure, the original Mona Lisa is worth more than a copy of the Mona Lisa -- but that has nothing to do with an NFT of the Mona Lisa, which has at _best_ the same sort of worth as oil rights on Titan.
I mean, outside the speculative bubble market, of course.

[Herald of Opera]

5660887
The NFT itself is the certificate of authenticity that the metaphorical original Mona Lisa belongs to you rather than the people right-clicking the image. The punchline is that this doesn't translate to any actual value for the Mona Lisa either.

[Reese]

5660918
Right; the NFT for the Brooklyn Bridge might purport to be a certificate of ownership, but it's just as valid as the one bought off the owner a tourist, why, just happened to run into in the street. And said owner is just so happy to have the opportunity to hand over custody to such an upstanding individual; why, just look at how big his grin is as he hands the deed over...

And as for owning the Mona Lisa? Yeah, head to the Louvre, casually hop the security around the Mona Lisa in front of whatever witnesses happen to be present, and start trying to take it home; I'm sure the very-promptly-appearing security, once you explain that, no, you're the owner of the painting, the internet said so, will happily help you get the painting off the wall and into a tube to walk off with.

(And I didn't get you were making a joke, sorry; thanks for the explanation. I just find this whole NFT thing so... ugggh.)

Even better, an NFT is a small computer program that does something like hyperlink to some art. So it can be a small computer virus programmed to steal your gp and valuable magic items. And can be given to you against your will.
