| Tomb of Horrors: Starting Magic Items | Starting magic item tables for each PC to roll on | 2025-05-31T22:28:13.000-04:00 | magic items | feature | c1thm | hidden |
As 14th level characters, each PC is assumed to have gone on numerous high-stakes dungeon crawls, fortress assaults, and royally-backed expeditions into the unknown. As such, each PC is also assumed to have collected quite a stash of fairly powerful magic items, some of which they've brought with them on this adventure. To simulate this history, I'm allowing each player to make a few rolls and pick some fairly powerful magic items from the tables below.
Some of these are generic (ex: effects that can be applied to any type of weapon or armor), whereas others are limited to only some types (ex: Armor of Hunting can only be made from hide, leather, or studded leather). Although I have some pre-built magic items listed as examples, I want each player to have a say in their own character's history, and that includes what type of magic items they've found (especially since some of these could be life-altering to an adventurer). For example, rolling a Weapon +4 means it could be a longsword, short sword, katana, spear, axe, or any other weapon that the PC can use (based on class). Likewise, rolling armor +2 or Armor of Stashing means it could be any type of armor that the PC can use (again, based on class).
Any items not linked below can be found in another book, probably OSE Advanced Fantasy. If you roll something and you don't know what it is, I will gladly post it in the Discord chat.
So, please follow the instructions below, rolling either in Discord or on Roll20, and feel free to post in the chat if you have any questions. Thanks!
