Random Treasure Generation

The following tables may be used as a DM'ing aid to generate treasure at random.  They do not necessarily correspond to the frequency with which treasure of different kinds may be obtained as a result of encounters in Anarea.  The DM's discretion must always be used.  As an obvious example, wandering monsters are much less likely to be carrying treasure than those killed in their lairs.  If an item that is inappropriate for the area or is odd is generated, the DM may re-roll it at his discretion.  It should be noted however that some odd items do exist; possibly as a result of Chaos, their being created by Madmen, or simply due to poor wording of Pacts.

This information is Restricted because most characters will not know what Magic Items exist, due largely to their rarity.  Weapons, Armour and Potions are generally well-known.  Magic-Users may be aware of the Items within their specialities, but even then only those who have studied such matters will know much about them, as they are not normally covered in Initial Basic Training.  Binders and specialist Magic-Item dealers who traffic in such Items may know more, but often only of the Items of which they have experience.  Most Items cannot readily be purchased (check the Shops).

The above chances may be modified depending on the type of encounter.

If none of the above occur, there is no cash after all.

If none of the above occur, there are only paste replicas.

* If the result is 0, roll up a number of Magic Items equal to the &age result, but they will be non-Magical look-alikes (e.g. non-Magical weapons and armour).

If the result is a number, generate that many Items on the following Tables:

Magic Weapon Generation

Then roll for pluses:

Then roll for enchantments:

The enchantments will be the Plus from Table W2 to each of the attributes specified for the Weapon in Row 1 of Table W3 (in that order; e.g. a Magic Broad Sword + 2 with 2 enchantments has +2A, +2DAM, but +0P), with any additional enchantments rolled being determined by rolling on Table W4:

Notes:

1. Flaming / Cold / Lightning do extra d6s (d4s for Daggers, Hand Axes &  Ammo) of Fire / Cold / Lightning DAM.  To determine no. of Dice of Damage, roll on Table W2, treating the Plus as no. of Dice.  If +0, roll again but it will only do the result against Fire / Cold / Lightning Vulnerable opponents (unless already vs Undead, when just roll again).
2. To determine Alignment, roll d6 twice on Table Al.
3. To determine Species, roll d100 on Table Sp.

Magic Armour Generation

Armour will comfortably fit up to one Size out from wearer's Sz, and uncomfortably fit up to two Sizes out from wearer's Sz.  An armourer can modify armour by up to 2 Sizes down or 1 Size up.

Then roll for pluses:

Then roll for enchantments:

1 enchantment will be the Plus from Table A2 to ADS.  For Shields, 2 Enchantments will be the Plus from Table A2 to ADS and to Interpose (B, S or T), with any additional enchantments rolled being determined by rolling on Table A4.

Note that the maximum Plus to ADS of a piece or suit of Armour is equal to its normal max. ADS; e.g. Leather Armour is max. +2, Plate Armour is max. +5.
