Magic Item Tables

When generating treasure hoards, use the following tables to randomly choose a magic item. The Narrator can customize magical treasure by choosing items instead of rolling randomly or by using items from other sources. An adventure—whether published or invented by the Narrator—may also feature unique magic items like a +1 weapon with a power related to the events of the adventure, or mysterious magical objects with which the adventurers can interact (such as a magic door that opens when a riddle is answered).

Expendable Magic Items. The first three magic item tables consist of expendable items like potions and scrolls, with Table: Magic Items #1 most suitable for beginning adventurers, Table: Magic Items #2 for mid-level parties, and Table: Magic Items #3 for high-level PCs. 

Enchanted Trinkets. Table: Magic Items #4 consists of magical trinkets, which are minor items which can be given freely to characters without upsetting game balance. 

Permanent Magic Items. Table: Magic Items #5–#10 are composed of successively more powerful permanent items. Items on Table: Magic Items #5 are appropriate for 1st level adventurers, while items on Table: Magic Items #10 are most often earned only with great difficulty by the highest-level characters.

When a roll on a treasure table calls for 3 or more expendable items, the items are often of the same type. For example, a result of 3 items on Table: Magic Items #1 might be 3 potions of healing or 3 spell scrolls which each contain a different spell.

Note that magic items marked with a C are cursed.
