<p>In this episode Ariel and Ray take one last look at the Armorsmith's Handbook, a massive endeavor from the Grim Press that has to introduce twenty unique places to your campaign setting.

What Makes Compelling Magic Armor? Ft. Armorsmith's Handbook

<p>In this episode, Ariel tries to convince Ray that the very best magic items have abilities that make your character immediately recognizable, but don&#39;t overshadow their already heroic abilities, using magic items that Ray himself designed in Grim Press&#39;s new Armorsmith&#39;s Handbook!</p> <p>Ariel picks his five favorite magic items out of the two hundred brand new magic armors in the Grim Press Fifth Edition supplement, The Armorsmith&#39;s Handbook. Ariel argues why each modestly-powered item is the perfect fit for the PCs at your table, while Ray gives behind the scenes details on how they were designed.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Armorer&#39;s Handbook: https://bit.ly/armorsmith</p> <p>Website: https://runningofftherails.com</p> <p>Emery&#39;s Physical Copy:</p> <p>https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/397328/Emerys-Log-of-Legendary-Eminences</p> <p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/runningofftherails</p> <p>Twitter: https://twitter.com/RunningOffRails</p>
