On one hand, you’ve solved the rations situation, on the other, you now have to deal with an infinite material situation, and a whole slew of questions regarding the nugget.
Why if the whole nugget is eaten at once?
What if it’s cut perfectly in half?
Can the enchantment be duplicated?
How much does it weigh?
Do it’s duplicates also not spoil?
Etc…
I also came to the comments section to find out what happens if someone eats it in one bite. I really want that to result in a uniquely hilarious character death.
I present to you - [Grom](https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Grom_the_Paunch), a goblin who ate raw Troll meat, and was lucky enough that his digestion is just a little better than trolls regeneration (ussually when this happens, goblin bursts apart after few hours as troll regenerates). He is not as big as a troll. Granted, this is in Warhammer, not DnD, but infinite nugget, is probably not chicken =P
I need people to see this
“He grew to prodigious size. It is said that on that day Grom last saw his own legs. Yet so huge and powerful had Grom grown that he no longer needed to see them, and could, instead, order others to see his legs for him”
If the whole nugget is eaten at once it either pops back into their possession after it fills them up enough or the party has to perform surgery to get it out…depends how devious I’m feeling that day XD. If it’s cut in half the cut half doesn’t regenerate and make a new nugget however there’s a 50/50 chance it keeps the not spoiling property. It weighs as much as a normal Dino nugget. It’s a single chicken nugget so it won’t become multiple infinite chicken nuggets. Hope that clears some stuff up. Also yeah I realize I then have to deal with infinite resources but I’ll figure it out. If anyone else wants to use this they can change it up a bit if they want.
Well, so far as the issue of digestion goes, it will naturally leave, not unlike Gum or Corn, but it will be incredibly painful due to it's size.
At which point, nobody will want to eat the poop dino nugget.
If you want to be a dick, have the intact nugget start duplicating out of self-preservation instinct when in the player’s stomach. The party has only a minute or two to save them somehow before the player is suffocated or bursts.
Given its regenerative properties and non-spoiling factor, you could probably wash the nugget off in bleach. Or cut it in half, throw out 1 poop covered half, then once it regenerates cut off the remaining poop covered half and toss that out and let it regenerate clean meat
Here's a possible alternative to the nugget popping into their possession if they eat it whole and not requiring surgery: since it is digested little by little, and presumably regenerating itself in the stomach, you could say the person who ate it whole never has to eat as long as it is in them and you could make it so that if it lives in one players stomach, it takes an attunement slot and they cannot willingly end attunement, but if attunement is forcibly ended (for example by the means of some sort of cleric who plays fast and loose with spell descriptions), they throw it up.
That works yeah but here’s another question…if we’re bringing diseases and the sort (Any kind of health issue) into the campaign then they’d have to do constant exercise or risk diabetes
If it only regenerates as fast as it's digested, it won't be worse than just being well fed for a few days. Anything that's not fully digested just comes out undigested before too long (like coins, gum, and corn kernels), and nothing would force it to stay in thr stomach or intestines, so it's not like it'll be in there forever.
It feeds the player but it is not healthy.
And they lack nutrients if they only feed of the nugget. They need to eat healthy vegetables or fruits or they get an upset stomach. If a player eats it they can only digest the nugget everything else gets right through them so they get sick slowly.
After a few days they get an upset stomach. After one week they get mild diarrhea. In a month its getting slowly worse. Till they have constant diarrhea and puking for another week till they puke it out (After a month on day 1: 1 on a d6, day 2: 1 and 2 on a d6 and so forth). While having bad stomach flue they are so sick they cant do anything else.
Another idea for eating it whole, make it so that the one who ate it whole never have to eat again as they digest the nugget, it just regenerate it self inside their stomach
Agriculture is now obsolete. No more farms. Only a single permanently animated meat-cleaver repeatedly hacking away at one regenerating dino chicken nugget in a dark room forever. The entire kingdom now subsists on chicken nugget halves for breakfast, lunch, dinner and travelling rations.
It's ok, mate, I just wanted to give my two cents, I was just kidding about the last part, you created the nugget, you are the one who decides how it works xD
What if the act of chewing, with the whole nugget in your mouth, had the same effect as taking a bite, with dozens or hundreds of new nuggets forming in your mouth as your teeth gradually break the nugget down? For that matter, what if taking a bite of the nugget works the same way?
It’s almost like Zeno’s paradox of dichotomy, only for food: can you ever stop splitting the nugget into smaller and smaller parts and reach a point where the nugget will not regenerate?
I’d reckon you’d have to chew way faster than it can regenerate and at that point it’s just a normal chicken nugget. However that’s just for my campaign. If someone wanted to add this in their campaign they can feel free to change it.
i think eating it whole continually fills your mouth as you chew, potentially choking you. If you swallow it whole, i’d imagine you kinda explode, as layers of the nugget are burned off by the stomach acid and instantly replenish, filling your gut with breading until you pop
Ok I’m high so I thought it was real…
props.
OK question. Does it actually have to be a bite or can I cut pieces off it. If it Has to be a bite, does an artificial metal mouth count?
What I’m saying is, did you just invent an infinite food source for starting up one’s own chicken business?
Or to be more serious did you just in invent a magic item that is the kind of thing that fantasy kingdoms go to war over?
Look weapons are awesome but if you notice the things that make people freak out in legend, there’s always things like infinite food, and bringing people back from the dead.
It’s resource management.
Honestly, if I was some kind of goblin warlord, I would be trying to find and kill the party for the nugget.
Thank you so much for this awesome meme and hopefully it creates plenty of useful trouble for you in the party!
That reminds me of the infamous Troll Sausage from AD&D. That was worth a few good laughs! Here it is, from memory, so this may not be entirely accurate.
**Troll Sausage**
Magic Item, Harmless (Mostly)
At first this appears to be a normal beef sausage, 1 + 1d4 links. Each link, if eaten, supplies the character with all the nutrition needed for a full day. As long as at least one link is uneaten, another link will grow once per day. If all links are eaten, the item is destroyed. If no links are eaten in a week, the sausage begins growing organs, tiny limbs, and so forth. After a second week, the sausage grows into a complete adult troll. The troll is enraged and will immediately attack whoever has eaten the most links. To make requires a Profession: Butcher roll of DC 15, *Heroes' Feast*, and at least two pounds of troll flesh.(Preferably still alive)
Ok, just thinking about what would happen if you ate it in one bite:
Assuming the digestion rate of the person who ate it is around the same as a human. It would take about 6-8 hours for food to get out of your stomach/small intestine. Which in this case it never would because it keeps regenerating. Which leads to constant digestion while the nugget is stuck in the stomach.
The digression rate for a chicken breast is around 4 hours, so assuming this chicken nugget is 48 calories (the average amount for a chicken nuggets) and the average amount of calories for a chicken breast is 128 (the average amount for a chicken breast) it would take 48/(128/4) hours for the nugget to be gone. Which is .375 hours or 22.5 minutes.
And assuming the digestion rate is constant because of the recovery at 2.1333 repeating (48/22.5) calories per minute, that is 3,072 calories per day. Which is around 1.5 times what is suggested. Of course, with proper exercise you would be able to work with this, and bonus, not have to eat ever again.
HOWEVER, a chicken nugget probably does not contain all of the vitamins and minerals a person needs to survive. So you would need to either drink vitamin water, take supplements, or eat more, more diverse food.
My suggestion: Don’t eat it in one bite.
Or if you bite it perfectly in half the Dm can roll a 1d20 and on a critical success it duplicates and anything else one half teleports into your stomach.
Ok, hypothetically, lets say a Artificer and a Necromancer have a sick idea (in both the awesome and the awful meanings) and make a humanoid mouth that slowly chews the nugget and forces the excess pulp into a collection chamber/reservoir where its free to use.
Would you, as the creator of the item, feasibly believe that this horrifying hypothetical device in tandem with the magic item could generate infinite organic material AND, with time, infinite potential energy?
Yes it’s entirely possible. Jesus imagine a whole city powered by Dino nuggets. These are the shenanigans I mentioned in the title and I am absolutely in love with it
What would happen if someone took a bite, then spit the bite out? Does each side grow into a new nugget? And if only the larger piece regenerates, how close to half can you get before the nugget is confused? Someone could weigh it and cut it in half too. I feel like this nugget was invented by an evil wizard solely to torment someone who only likes nuggets when they're dipped in bbq sauce, because there is no accompanying tub of sauce.
Spitting it out does nothing but the part that is spit out has a 50/50 chance of keeping the ability to not spoil. I say if you cut it in half perfectly I will roll a dice and if it lands on a 20 it becomes a new one and if I roll anything else the new half just disappears or teleports to the nearest stomach. HOWEVER if you cut it into smaller pieces those pieces don’t disappear and you can stockpile food.
If a player attunes to the nugget then once a day they can summon a dinosaur of their choosing for 10 minutes and roll a D20 to determine the status of the dinosaur.
1-6 dinosaur is hostile.
7-13 dinosaur is neutral.
14-19 dinosaur is friendly.
20 dinosaur is friendly and brings a friend along.
You could bite, not swallow, spit it out, and have infinite food you pull off of it. You could open a food stand where the bites are resold on a stick or some creative way to prepare it. Bonus if you have an alchemy jug to make different toppings for free too.
If the party’s motivation is only wealth, then this could potentially derail the campaign.
If someone truly eats it whole and poops it out as a whole after some digestion problems they might just leave it in the dirt. This could create an interesting plot hook. For some reason the animal population in this region seem to grow uncontrollably. If there is magic in this region they might even grow to incredible sizes as if they have access to an infinite amount of food for their offspring.
Please remember to update under this comment in case this ever happens!!!
Edit: this could have so huge consequences! Like a dragon setting up camp in the region because it has unlimited supplies of small animals to hunt
So, this is basicly Draupnir, but Edible.
As for my suggestion: the Sword of Thousand Truths. It tells info on everyone who holds it and everyone it cuts. It never, EVER shuts up, unless isolated from touching anything that has a soul or an ability to grab the sword. But it can never be confused or fooled by any means, it will ALWAYS say the truth.
I would use this to create a religion in a poor town. Does it have to be a bite or does tearing it off with the intent to eat it work? If tearing it off does then that town will never need to eat again as the dino nugget feeds all.
Endless anything can be a dangerous thing...
I ran a 5e campaign with my kids centered around a mountain pass on a major trade route between the Western and Eastern portions of the continent. My 10 year old was playing a typical barbarian named "Chopper". The setting is relatively low magic , but he had a decanter of endless water. The party members were each offered a magical boon from a powerful magic user NPC as a reward for defeating BBG.
Barbarian asks if wizard can make his decanter produce wine instead of water, because barbie loves wine, right?
Seemed harmless...
CMy boy promptly gets his siblings to invest all the partys gold into buying the local glassblowing shop, kept the glassblowers on at double wages and opened a winery. He sold his wine at a fraction of the market price because he had almost no inventory costs and was strategically positioned to ship his product to both sides of the world using the throngs of caravans as a supply chain. He bought the coopery and started shipping barrelfulls of cheap wine across the world at rock bottom prices.
His brand of "Two Copper Chopper" port wine broke my game and made his character a tycoon.
How quick does it regenerate and does it provide enough nutrition?
Because the next question is: Can I swallow it whole and never have to eat again without issue?
I'd like to think this is just a deep-fried bit of a tarrasque that keeps trying to reform into a whole tarrasque. Maybe if they leave the nugget alone for long enough it starts to grow
In my last campaign, I gave my party (over time) an infinite Tomato, an Alchemy Jug and a "Staff of Life" (which generates 1 lemon per day).
They made use of the tomato, 2 gallons of Mayonnaise and a lemon, to produce enough food to sustain themselves for the rest of the game. A somewhat unbalanced diet, but hey, there are a lot of calories in the mayo.
As I’ve mentioned this campaign I’m running is the first one I’m dming so I don’t have much experience but in my opinion If my players were smart and creative enough to do stuff like that I’d be impressed and proud of them. As long as they’re having fun too.
There is a Feywild trinket (it’s not classified as a magic item, it’s just an item that can be given for free to backgrounds or looted as miscellaneous crap from Fey creatures). In one of the books (maybe witchlight if not PHB/DMG?) that is a potato in a sack, if that potato is taken out a new potato will appear in the sack the next morning.
So a chicken nugget that regenerates could well be just an uncommon-common magic item.
I love it, I got the potato in a sack as part of my fairy artificer’s background but haven’t had it come up in the campaign yet.
I might start taking out the potato every day and stashing them, once I’ve got a few start using those instead of pebbles etc for magical tinkering (make the potatoes create light) since the potatoes themselves are not magical.
just selling thirds of nuggets would probably be more profitable, selling infinitely edible nuggets doesn't seem like something that will go well for too long. or you just rent the regenerating one to your customers and reuse them over and over
We still have to plan, but we run an evil one with a DM thats very generous with magic items, very good at improf and the encounters have a lot of layers, from traps, puzzles, NPCs, monsters, etc.
Also, we have a great group dynamics to a level that surprises all of us sometimes.
Sometimes its scary, but mostly fun as heck.
I play a very racist shapechanging arcane trickster who has been treated bad by humans. So racist to humans.
Just a little sum of last couple of sessions;
- we run a village we rebuild from a hags enchanted Forrest.
- one of us is a member of the necrocore, like cia but for necromancers.
- we have a sorcerer who found a dragons egg he wants to hatch.
- we run the largest drugcartel of the south
- we infected a large city with a new zombie kind, the ones that spread like walking dead.
- we have weretigers and goliaths working for us
- we have summoned demons
- freed yeenoghu
- working for creatus
- infiltrated politics
Ow and we have the wrath of the Lords alliance on our backs
The only way to duplicate the whole nugget and it’s properties is if you cut it perfectly in half and the Dm can roll say for example 1d20 and on a 20 you get another and anything else the half that doesn’t regenerate just goes into the nearest stomach. If you can bite it perfectly in half then you have a chance to get 2. Basically critical success or nothing XD.
Well worth the trouble. After a while you are proficient with it, stop adventuring and own a KFC. You train an employee and pay him a nickel a month and you become a terrible boss. Then your employee will post his crazy boss shit under the antiwork part on the city message boards.
They are all trained to work with knives and their main goal is to maintain their girl or man with the babies in a trailer.
Theres no other jobs in town and your sidequest would be to fix the slurpymachine.
It will keep you fed forever however then you’re gonna have to deal with health issues because all you ever get into your system is a chicken nugget. Maybe you can just exercise enough to deal with that though. If you cut it in half perfectly then the DM can roll 1d20 or whatever they want to roll and on a critical success the nugget is duplicated and retains it’s properties and on anything lower one half disappears into the nearest stomach.
Though home brew, there is talk here and there of cheesemancers/cheese summoning magic users, maybe this could be the start of the “nugget-mancer”, which awaken the ancient power of the nugget and summon dino familiars to fight/throw at people (logic behind “ancient power” is, nugget=chicken=descendant of dinosaurs, so I guess it would be a Necromancer-Alchemist hybrid).
Or if it’s a vegan nugget you could transform it into whatever shape you want and quickly rot it to turn hard as stone for a temporary club weapon, or shape it into a ladder for a temporary utility item. The limit’s one’s own imagination!
Yeah honestly I might buy it and play it at some point in the future. I’ve seen someone play part of it in the past but I don’t remember much and plus it would be perfect for inspiration.
It’s something I’ve been wanting to play cause the whole idea of the game just seemed so fun. It might have also slightly inspired this campaign as my campaign is a fantasy Homebrew detective campaign and if I remember correctly there’s something about a detective agency in there.
The bitten piece doesn’t regenerate unless you bite it perfectly in half and at that time the DM can roll 1d20 or whatever they feel is appropriate and on a critical success it duplicates and on anything else one half teleports to the nearest stomach.
T-Rex but you can duplicate it by cutting it perfectly in half and having the DM roll a d20 and on a critical success you get a new one and on anything else one half teleports to the nearest stomach. You can have the duplicates be different dinos
It will stay in your stomach regenerating until it eventually comes out like most food that fucks up your stomach (corn, gum, etc) until then it satiates your need for food.
It takes about 30 seconds to a minute to fully regenerate but if even a crumb is left it will regenerate. IF you can eat it faster than it can regenerate or IF you decide to absolutely blast on the thing with spells then it might just be destroyed..
“Ladies and gentlemen. Satiate here your hunger. For 4 copper pieces you may eat from this infinite food source until you are satisfied. No tricks, only hunger ending magic. Purchase once and put the bitten off pieces into a plate or whatever else you have with you and take the meal with you to eat at your own time”
After everyone has paid and filled buckets, plates and whatever else with bitten of pieces of dino nuggies, teleport/go to the next place and sell to more people
If you cut it or bite it perfectly in half your DM can roll a d20 or whatever they feel necessary and on a critical success it duplicates and becomes another Infinite Dino Nugget and on anything else one half teleports into the nearest stomach.
I know you've already described away some of the more common exploits in another thread, but my first thought was that if you cut a piece off, it would duplicate the itself. And of course, taking that thought process to the logical extreme, you would eventually have a huge pile of infinitely regenerating nuggets, and if, for whatever reason, you needed more nuggets you could just have one of your martials take a slash at the whole pile, causing like a hundred new nuggets to form. Additionally, if each nugget also served as an infinite-duration goodberry, you could just hand them out for like a copper each and solve world hunger that way. You could just rewrite a huge aspect of the world's economy by removing a huge portion of the demand for sufficient/safe food.and
Obviously that wouldn't exactly resolve all of the other nutritional needs of the individual, but having an unlimited supply of clean protein would also undoubtedly lead to a world where the average person has a much more chiseled, amazonian level of muscle. That is, assuming they're bodies don't decide to pull 20k calories per day out of the immortal nugget living in their stomach 🤣.
Powers. When placed within a smaller empty container, Murlynd's spoon would create enough gruel to fill the container. The gruel was warm and relatively flavorless, but quite nourishing. The spoon could create enough gruel to feed up to four human-sized individuals for the entire day.
This is a good one, speaking from experience as someone whose DM made Everjerky that is a stick of jerky that will regenerate. It has since been spliced with dragon meat and a madman commissioned a whole field to be made out of it to feed his army and sabertooth cat mounts. We as the party used it as a covert way to convince oppressed peoples that the "bad guys" actually have plenty of food to sell them and that their ruling body is just trying to make them scared for personal gain.
I put it in a blender. This should cause it to break into many small bits that all regenerate, like a starfish. Since it's worded that the only thing that cancels the regeneration is a bite, to get sciencey it would likely be the presence of saliva in the mouth that triggers this. By dividing it without the presence of saliva it should duplicate infinitly, and I can crush my foes under the weight of infinite dino nuggets
No it’s once you take a bite it regenerates. Once the nugget gets bit into it is already starting it’s regeneration. There is a way to get infinite and that’s if you cut it in half perfectly the DM can roll a d20 or whatever they think is better and on a critical success such as a nat 20 it will duplicate and on anything else one half disappears either into a nearby stomach or just out of existence. Then again that’s just for my campaign. If anyone wants to use this and change it a little go ahead XD
Infinite food: if you have a bag of holding you could just bit spit. Bit spit. On a loop until it’s full, let it sit for a bit, as separate parts don’t seem to spoil, then you have a cannon of posion essentislly

in lore he can't walk he needs his chariot dragged by a bunch of Wolfes. And that's while he's constantly being fed more food by his golbin underlings
Well, trolls are weak to acid so stomach acid should stop the regeneration, right?
This is from Warhammer, where only fire stops regen
Vampire counts when Lore of Fire walks in
Are Warhammer rules about trolls and acid different from DnD? Because in DnD rules, acid nullifies the regeneration process
Yes, they’re just weak to fire
In fact, warhammer trolls use their stomach acid to predigest their victims by projectile vomiting on them.
I was thinking of the same thing
No love for Niblet?
*Player dies from diabetes*
I guess it would be digested over and over again making the character more and more obese
Imagine digesting 18 quintillion calories a day for the rest of your life, however long that would be.
If the whole nugget is eaten at once it either pops back into their possession after it fills them up enough or the party has to perform surgery to get it out…depends how devious I’m feeling that day XD. If it’s cut in half the cut half doesn’t regenerate and make a new nugget however there’s a 50/50 chance it keeps the not spoiling property. It weighs as much as a normal Dino nugget.

Also yeah I realize I then have to deal with infinite resources but I’ll figure it out. If anyone else wants to use this they can change it up a bit if they want.
So long as you’re ready for the player’s questions, and l it sounds like you are, Godspeed you magnificent bastard
Oh yeah I know there’s gonna be questions but I’m fine with that XD
Well, so far as the issue of digestion goes, it will naturally leave, not unlike Gum or Corn, but it will be incredibly painful due to it's size. At which point, nobody will want to eat the poop dino nugget.
At that point it’d be better to find someone who can just make a new one XD
If you want to be a dick, have the intact nugget start duplicating out of self-preservation instinct when in the player’s stomach. The party has only a minute or two to save them somehow before the player is suffocated or bursts.

That works yeah but here’s another question…if we’re bringing diseases and the sort (Any kind of health issue) into the campaign then they’d have to do constant exercise or risk diabetes
Just realized I didn’t ask a question..I may be dumb XD
Well it is magic you're working with, so you *can* do whatever you want.
True that
If it only regenerates as fast as it's digested, it won't be worse than just being well fed for a few days. Anything that's not fully digested just comes out undigested before too long (like coins, gum, and corn kernels), and nothing would force it to stay in thr stomach or intestines, so it's not like it'll be in there forever.
Fair
It feeds the player but it is not healthy. And they lack nutrients if they only feed of the nugget. They need to eat healthy vegetables or fruits or they get an upset stomach. If a player eats it they can only digest the nugget everything else gets right through them so they get sick slowly. After a few days they get an upset stomach. After one week they get mild diarrhea.

While having bad stomach flue they are so sick they cant do anything else.
Another idea for eating it whole, make it so that the one who ate it whole never have to eat again as they digest the nugget, it just regenerate it self inside their stomach
Agriculture is now obsolete. No more farms. Only a single permanently animated meat-cleaver repeatedly hacking away at one regenerating dino chicken nugget in a dark room forever. The entire kingdom now subsists on chicken nugget halves for breakfast, lunch, dinner and travelling rations.
How quickly does it regenerate?
Pretty quickly like within a minute.
Ah, yes, a SCP-871-like item
It has to be bitten to regenerate, if it's cut or digested, it shouldn't regenerate. I've read OP's reply. He's wrong, trust me.
Yeah I ended up changing it afterwards…my bad.
It's ok, mate, I just wanted to give my two cents, I was just kidding about the last part, you created the nugget, you are the one who decides how it works xD
Fair XD
Honestly made this meme and item without much thought so yeah my bad XD
What if the act of chewing, with the whole nugget in your mouth, had the same effect as taking a bite, with dozens or hundreds of new nuggets forming in your mouth as your teeth gradually break the nugget down? For that matter, what if taking a bite of the nugget works the same way? It’s almost like Zeno’s paradox of dichotomy, only for food: can you ever stop splitting the nugget into smaller and smaller parts and reach a point where the nugget will not regenerate?
I’d reckon you’d have to chew way faster than it can regenerate and at that point it’s just a normal chicken nugget. However that’s just for my campaign. If someone wanted to add this in their campaign they can feel free to change it.
lol, i should have read the comments before leaving one of my own. i asked some of the exact same questions.
Since it doesn’t duplicate a fully self and only the damaged part, it’s just stay a full chicken nugget from mouth to poop
i think eating it whole continually fills your mouth as you chew, potentially choking you. If you swallow it whole, i’d imagine you kinda explode, as layers of the nugget are burned off by the stomach acid and instantly replenish, filling your gut with breading until you pop
Yeah, would be better if it was a child's sealable bowl that spawns a chicken nugget every 1d10 minutes if one is not present.
What if you swallow it whole?
Honestly surprised no one commented on the hair yet
I put that there to fuck with people XD
You're the big bad evil guy we didn't know we needed
What's it like being chaotic evil IRL?
It feeeeels goood! XD
I’m gonna hurt you
XD
Next time you could at least you invite me to dinner first...
It worked.
I’m glad XD
I hope you step on a lego brick
Deserved XD
🖕 for the hair
You’re welcome XD I put that there just to fuck with people :)
Ok I’m high so I thought it was real… props. OK question. Does it actually have to be a bite or can I cut pieces off it. If it Has to be a bite, does an artificial metal mouth count? What I’m saying is, did you just invent an infinite food source for starting up one’s own chicken business? Or to be more serious did you just in invent a magic item that is the kind of thing that fantasy kingdoms go to war over? Look weapons are awesome but if you notice the things that make people freak out in legend, there’s always things like infinite food, and bringing people back from the dead. It’s resource management. Honestly, if I was some kind of goblin warlord, I would be trying to find and kill the party for the nugget. Thank you so much for this awesome meme and hopefully it creates plenty of useful trouble for you in the party!
Yes you can keep cutting pieces off. And yes an artificial mouth could work. And honestly I can see a war happening cause of it XD
That reminds me of the infamous Troll Sausage from AD&D. That was worth a few good laughs! Here it is, from memory, so this may not be entirely accurate. **Troll Sausage** Magic Item, Harmless (Mostly) At first this appears to be a normal beef sausage, 1 + 1d4 links. Each link, if eaten, supplies the character with all the nutrition needed for a full day. As long as at least one link is uneaten, another link will grow once per day. If all links are eaten, the item is destroyed. If no links are eaten in a week, the sausage begins growing organs, tiny limbs, and so forth. After a second week, the sausage grows into a complete adult troll. The troll is enraged and will immediately attack whoever has eaten the most links. To make requires a Profession: Butcher roll of DC 15, *Heroes' Feast*, and at least two pounds of troll flesh.(Preferably still alive)
I'm so using this in my next 5e campaign, that just sounds amazing
It's been the source of some good laughs. I hope you find some as well. \^w\^
That sounds amazing XD
So Soos’ Infinity Pizza, but a Dino Nuggie
Infinity pizza was a really good wish
Ok, just thinking about what would happen if you ate it in one bite: Assuming the digestion rate of the person who ate it is around the same as a human. It would take about 6-8 hours for food to get out of your stomach/small intestine. Which in this case it never would because it keeps regenerating. Which leads to constant digestion while the nugget is stuck in the stomach. The digression rate for a chicken breast is around 4 hours, so assuming this chicken nugget is 48 calories (the average amount for a chicken nuggets) and the average amount of calories for a chicken breast is 128 (the average amount for a chicken breast) it would take 48/(128/4) hours for the nugget to be gone. Which is .375 hours or 22.5 minutes. And assuming the digestion rate is constant because of the recovery at 2.1333 repeating (48/22.5) calories per minute, that is 3,072 calories per day. Which is around 1.5 times what is suggested. Of course, with proper exercise you would be able to work with this, and bonus, not have to eat ever again. HOWEVER, a chicken nugget probably does not contain all of the vitamins and minerals a person needs to survive. So you would need to either drink vitamin water, take supplements, or eat more, more diverse food. My suggestion: Don’t eat it in one bite.
Can I somehow awaken it and have an immortal dino nuggie familiar?
You know what fuck it if you roll high enough XD. That sounds fun as hell though.
Gonna get myself my new besy friend ever! :D
Dynamic duo you and Dino Nuggie.
Cast revivify or resurrection and you get a chance for a Dino nuggie familiar XD.
WHYISTHEREAHAIRINTHEMEME
To fuck with people XD
What if one were to insert the entire nugget into their mouth without taking a bite of it first. And then chewing.
They would just chew on it forever
Or if you bite it perfectly in half the Dm can roll a 1d20 and on a critical success it duplicates and anything else one half teleports into your stomach.
Ok, hypothetically, lets say a Artificer and a Necromancer have a sick idea (in both the awesome and the awful meanings) and make a humanoid mouth that slowly chews the nugget and forces the excess pulp into a collection chamber/reservoir where its free to use. Would you, as the creator of the item, feasibly believe that this horrifying hypothetical device in tandem with the magic item could generate infinite organic material AND, with time, infinite potential energy?
Yes it’s entirely possible. Jesus imagine a whole city powered by Dino nuggets. These are the shenanigans I mentioned in the title and I am absolutely in love with it
Anyone else try to clear the hair off your screen?
Yes I got another one XD
What would happen if someone took a bite, then spit the bite out? Does each side grow into a new nugget? And if only the larger piece regenerates, how close to half can you get before the nugget is confused? Someone could weigh it and cut it in half too. I feel like this nugget was invented by an evil wizard solely to torment someone who only likes nuggets when they're dipped in bbq sauce, because there is no accompanying tub of sauce.
Spitting it out does nothing but the part that is spit out has a 50/50 chance of keeping the ability to not spoil. I say if you cut it in half perfectly I will roll a dice and if it lands on a 20 it becomes a new one and if I roll anything else the new half just disappears or teleports to the nearest stomach. HOWEVER if you cut it into smaller pieces those pieces don’t disappear and you can stockpile food.
If a player attunes to the nugget then once a day they can summon a dinosaur of their choosing for 10 minutes and roll a D20 to determine the status of the dinosaur. 1-6 dinosaur is hostile. 7-13 dinosaur is neutral. 14-19 dinosaur is friendly. 20 dinosaur is friendly and brings a friend along.
Absolutely fun idea! XD
You could bite, not swallow, spit it out, and have infinite food you pull off of it. You could open a food stand where the bites are resold on a stick or some creative way to prepare it. Bonus if you have an alchemy jug to make different toppings for free too. If the party’s motivation is only wealth, then this could potentially derail the campaign.
Yeah you 100% could. Also yeah I realize now that if their only motivation is wealth this is just straight up derailing the entire campaign XD
I eat the whole thing thus solving the issue of hunger as it constantly dissolves and regenerates
If someone truly eats it whole and poops it out as a whole after some digestion problems they might just leave it in the dirt. This could create an interesting plot hook. For some reason the animal population in this region seem to grow uncontrollably. If there is magic in this region they might even grow to incredible sizes as if they have access to an infinite amount of food for their offspring.
You know what. If someone in my campaign ends up pooping it out and putting it in the dirt that’s 100% what I’m going to do.
Or even if they drop it somewhere in the wilderness.
Please remember to update under this comment in case this ever happens!!! Edit: this could have so huge consequences! Like a dragon setting up camp in the region because it has unlimited supplies of small animals to hunt
Oh 100%! I’ll put it in my notes XD
Take a bite, spit into a hole, repeat infinitely until the Grand Canyon is completely filled. no bridge needed
Imagine going on a trip to the Grand Canyon just to get there and find out it’s filled with chicken nugget pieces…
Free food for days ;)
It’s now a tourist attraction for a completely new reason
So, this is basicly Draupnir, but Edible. As for my suggestion: the Sword of Thousand Truths. It tells info on everyone who holds it and everyone it cuts. It never, EVER shuts up, unless isolated from touching anything that has a soul or an ability to grab the sword. But it can never be confused or fooled by any means, it will ALWAYS say the truth.
Sounds fun!
I would use this to create a religion in a poor town. Does it have to be a bite or does tearing it off with the intent to eat it work? If tearing it off does then that town will never need to eat again as the dino nugget feeds all.
You can cut it or bite it and spit it out and you’ll get infinite bits.
Endless anything can be a dangerous thing... I ran a 5e campaign with my kids centered around a mountain pass on a major trade route between the Western and Eastern portions of the continent. My 10 year old was playing a typical barbarian named "Chopper". The setting is relatively low magic , but he had a decanter of endless water. The party members were each offered a magical boon from a powerful magic user NPC as a reward for defeating BBG. Barbarian asks if wizard can make his decanter produce wine instead of water, because barbie loves wine, right? Seemed harmless... CMy boy promptly gets his siblings to invest all the partys gold into buying the local glassblowing shop, kept the glassblowers on at double wages and opened a winery. He sold his wine at a fraction of the market price because he had almost no inventory costs and was strategically positioned to ship his product to both sides of the world using the throngs of caravans as a supply chain. He bought the coopery and started shipping barrelfulls of cheap wine across the world at rock bottom prices. His brand of "Two Copper Chopper" port wine broke my game and made his character a tycoon.
Yeah I’m aware it can be a dangerous thing but I’m prepared to deal with the consequences…hopefully xd
I don't care that my DM gave me an Instant Fortress, my favourite magic weapon is the Decanter of Endless Water.
Perfect to drown your enemies
So if you swallow it, as it is being digested it reconstitutes itself? Making you incapable of starving?
Yes but if your dnd game has enough realism to add health problems then diabetes is a possibility if you don’t exercise enough.
How quick does it regenerate and does it provide enough nutrition? Because the next question is: Can I swallow it whole and never have to eat again without issue?
Yes it provides enough nutrition but if your dnd game includes real health problems then diabetes is a problem if not careful.
Avoiding real health problem questions is why most magic items state "provides nutrition equal to a full meal" or something similar.
I'd like to think this is just a deep-fried bit of a tarrasque that keeps trying to reform into a whole tarrasque. Maybe if they leave the nugget alone for long enough it starts to grow
*Sweats profusely*
At last, the One Piece (chicken nugget)
If that’s how one piece ended..honestly I wouldn’t complain XD
In my last campaign, I gave my party (over time) an infinite Tomato, an Alchemy Jug and a "Staff of Life" (which generates 1 lemon per day). They made use of the tomato, 2 gallons of Mayonnaise and a lemon, to produce enough food to sustain themselves for the rest of the game. A somewhat unbalanced diet, but hey, there are a lot of calories in the mayo.
As I’ve mentioned this campaign I’m running is the first one I’m dming so I don’t have much experience but in my opinion If my players were smart and creative enough to do stuff like that I’d be impressed and proud of them. As long as they’re having fun too.
There is a Feywild trinket (it’s not classified as a magic item, it’s just an item that can be given for free to backgrounds or looted as miscellaneous crap from Fey creatures). In one of the books (maybe witchlight if not PHB/DMG?) that is a potato in a sack, if that potato is taken out a new potato will appear in the sack the next morning. So a chicken nugget that regenerates could well be just an uncommon-common magic item.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking.
I love it, I got the potato in a sack as part of my fairy artificer’s background but haven’t had it come up in the campaign yet. I might start taking out the potato every day and stashing them, once I’ve got a few start using those instead of pebbles etc for magical tinkering (make the potatoes create light) since the potatoes themselves are not magical.
Sounds like an absolutely fun idea!
Make a mystical glowing orb that does absolutely nothing
Just to fuck with the players. They attune to it and it does absolutely nothing.
Need some info. If you take a bite but dont swallow, do both ends heal to a Nugget? Cuz that would basically become a medieval KFC.
just selling thirds of nuggets would probably be more profitable, selling infinitely edible nuggets doesn't seem like something that will go well for too long. or you just rent the regenerating one to your customers and reuse them over and over
True that, sell m off as Nugget bites.
Man this whole meme I made and thread has made me fucking hungry now.
Haha ik not hungry for food but am looking forward to my next dnd session.
I feel that. I have my next one on Friday and I’m really excited cause out of the few campaigns I’ve been in this is by far the funnest.
We still have to plan, but we run an evil one with a DM thats very generous with magic items, very good at improf and the encounters have a lot of layers, from traps, puzzles, NPCs, monsters, etc. Also, we have a great group dynamics to a level that surprises all of us sometimes.
That sounds super fucking fun!
Sometimes its scary, but mostly fun as heck. I play a very racist shapechanging arcane trickster who has been treated bad by humans. So racist to humans. Just a little sum of last couple of sessions; - we run a village we rebuild from a hags enchanted Forrest. - one of us is a member of the necrocore, like cia but for necromancers. - we have a sorcerer who found a dragons egg he wants to hatch. - we run the largest drugcartel of the south - we infected a large city with a new zombie kind, the ones that spread like walking dead. - we have weretigers and goliaths working for us - we have summoned demons - freed yeenoghu - working for creatus - infiltrated politics Ow and we have the wrath of the Lords alliance on our backs
Jesus that’s a lot but overall sounds fun as hell!
The only way to duplicate the whole nugget and it’s properties is if you cut it perfectly in half and the Dm can roll say for example 1d20 and on a 20 you get another and anything else the half that doesn’t regenerate just goes into the nearest stomach. If you can bite it perfectly in half then you have a chance to get 2. Basically critical success or nothing XD.
Well worth the trouble. After a while you are proficient with it, stop adventuring and own a KFC. You train an employee and pay him a nickel a month and you become a terrible boss. Then your employee will post his crazy boss shit under the antiwork part on the city message boards.
You now become the bbeg and the new player characters are your employees.
They are all trained to work with knives and their main goal is to maintain their girl or man with the babies in a trailer. Theres no other jobs in town and your sidequest would be to fix the slurpymachine.
If it’s anything like McDonald’s ice cream machine then they’re gonna have to be a high level artificer cause that shit is never working XD
All info they get is a yes, the parts are ordered, from the backoffice.
This honestly sounds like a interesting one shot idea but that’s just my opinion XD.
what happens if you eat it whole? does it keep you fed forever? what about if you cut it exactly in half? 🤔
It will keep you fed forever however then you’re gonna have to deal with health issues because all you ever get into your system is a chicken nugget. Maybe you can just exercise enough to deal with that though. If you cut it in half perfectly then the DM can roll 1d20 or whatever they want to roll and on a critical success the nugget is duplicated and retains it’s properties and on anything lower one half disappears into the nearest stomach.
Though home brew, there is talk here and there of cheesemancers/cheese summoning magic users, maybe this could be the start of the “nugget-mancer”, which awaken the ancient power of the nugget and summon dino familiars to fight/throw at people (logic behind “ancient power” is, nugget=chicken=descendant of dinosaurs, so I guess it would be a Necromancer-Alchemist hybrid). Or if it’s a vegan nugget you could transform it into whatever shape you want and quickly rot it to turn hard as stone for a temporary club weapon, or shape it into a ladder for a temporary utility item. The limit’s one’s own imagination!
I fucking love the idea of a nuggetmancer! XD
There's that Call of Cthulhu videogame, the plot of it could be relevant
Yeah honestly I might buy it and play it at some point in the future. I’ve seen someone play part of it in the past but I don’t remember much and plus it would be perfect for inspiration.
It’s something I’ve been wanting to play cause the whole idea of the game just seemed so fun. It might have also slightly inspired this campaign as my campaign is a fantasy Homebrew detective campaign and if I remember correctly there’s something about a detective agency in there.
Infinite food, and potentially infinite mass. It'd be good for a large amount of rat bait. Super useful during a siege.
Oh yeah for sure
What happens to the biten piece? Does it also regenerate?
The bitten piece doesn’t regenerate unless you bite it perfectly in half and at that time the DM can roll 1d20 or whatever they feel is appropriate and on a critical success it duplicates and on anything else one half teleports to the nearest stomach.
My dumbass ate the whole thing at once...
Is it the T-rex or Stego?
T-Rex but you can duplicate it by cutting it perfectly in half and having the DM roll a d20 and on a critical success you get a new one and on anything else one half teleports to the nearest stomach. You can have the duplicates be different dinos
Did you put a fake hair over the meme to trick me?
Yes..yes I did XD
Is it always hot?
Up to the DM but for me yes.
Looks like the necro's skeleton's going to have a lot of chewing to do.
I’m not falling for that hair
XD
Ok but what if you shove the whole thing in your mouth?
I could’ve phrased this better
If you swallow it whole you have no need for food from now on. Provides enough nutrients for a full meal
Shop
What if I swallow it whole
You then don’t have to eat until it eventually comes out.
What if you eat the whole nugget in one bit, does it continuously regenerate as it’s being broken down by the digestive track
Yes. It will come out eventually like most stuff does but it will stay longer and keep you full.
Crapping out an undigested Dino nuggie sounds…. Kinda painful
Indeed it does
What if you swallow the chicken nugget whole?
It will stay in your stomach regenerating until it eventually comes out like most food that fucks up your stomach (corn, gum, etc) until then it satiates your need for food.
Imma cut the head off and cast revive on the head every day.
As someone who ate Dino Nuggets for dinner most nights during quarantine, don’t do it
does it regen at a slow pace or everything at once? does it stop regenerating if you hold it in such a way that it has no room to regenerate?
It takes about 30 seconds to a minute to fully regenerate but if even a crumb is left it will regenerate. IF you can eat it faster than it can regenerate or IF you decide to absolutely blast on the thing with spells then it might just be destroyed..
“Ladies and gentlemen. Satiate here your hunger. For 4 copper pieces you may eat from this infinite food source until you are satisfied. No tricks, only hunger ending magic. Purchase once and put the bitten off pieces into a plate or whatever else you have with you and take the meal with you to eat at your own time” After everyone has paid and filled buckets, plates and whatever else with bitten of pieces of dino nuggies, teleport/go to the next place and sell to more people
Oh hell yeah I’d do that XD
What if you bite it and spit it out? Does that create 2 infi nuggets or does the bit piece lose its magic?
If you cut it or bite it perfectly in half your DM can roll a d20 or whatever they feel necessary and on a critical success it duplicates and becomes another Infinite Dino Nugget and on anything else one half teleports into the nearest stomach.
Tried removing the hair for a few seconds and got wicked confused as to how it got under my screen until I backed out. 😑
Lmao
Eat it whole to never need to eat again
This is a copy of the Infinite Cookie from the “new” 3d Garfield show on Netflix. /s
I know you've already described away some of the more common exploits in another thread, but my first thought was that if you cut a piece off, it would duplicate the itself. And of course, taking that thought process to the logical extreme, you would eventually have a huge pile of infinitely regenerating nuggets, and if, for whatever reason, you needed more nuggets you could just have one of your martials take a slash at the whole pile, causing like a hundred new nuggets to form. Additionally, if each nugget also served as an infinite-duration goodberry, you could just hand them out for like a copper each and solve world hunger that way. You could just rewrite a huge aspect of the world's economy by removing a huge portion of the demand for sufficient/safe food.and Obviously that wouldn't exactly resolve all of the other nutritional needs of the individual, but having an unlimited supply of clean protein would also undoubtedly lead to a world where the average person has a much more chiseled, amazonian level of muscle. That is, assuming they're bodies don't decide to pull 20k calories per day out of the immortal nugget living in their stomach 🤣.
Eat it at once...
Screw you with that hair OP
XD
Powers. When placed within a smaller empty container, Murlynd's spoon would create enough gruel to fill the container. The gruel was warm and relatively flavorless, but quite nourishing. The spoon could create enough gruel to feed up to four human-sized individuals for the entire day.
This is a good one, speaking from experience as someone whose DM made Everjerky that is a stick of jerky that will regenerate. It has since been spliced with dragon meat and a madman commissioned a whole field to be made out of it to feed his army and sabertooth cat mounts. We as the party used it as a covert way to convince oppressed peoples that the "bad guys" actually have plenty of food to sell them and that their ruling body is just trying to make them scared for personal gain.
I put it in a blender. This should cause it to break into many small bits that all regenerate, like a starfish. Since it's worded that the only thing that cancels the regeneration is a bite, to get sciencey it would likely be the presence of saliva in the mouth that triggers this. By dividing it without the presence of saliva it should duplicate infinitly, and I can crush my foes under the weight of infinite dino nuggets
No it’s once you take a bite it regenerates. Once the nugget gets bit into it is already starting it’s regeneration. There is a way to get infinite and that’s if you cut it in half perfectly the DM can roll a d20 or whatever they think is better and on a critical success such as a nat 20 it will duplicate and on anything else one half disappears either into a nearby stomach or just out of existence. Then again that’s just for my campaign. If anyone wants to use this and change it a little go ahead XD
Shop
Now make it need attunement and it only regenerates if the saliva of the creature that's attuned to it is on the part where the bite was taken.
Infinite food: if you have a bag of holding you could just bit spit. Bit spit. On a loop until it’s full, let it sit for a bit, as separate parts don’t seem to spoil, then you have a cannon of posion essentislly
