Creating New Magic Items

Creating New Magic Items

For themed reigns, special battlegames, or just for fun local group officers may want to create their own Magic Items. Here are a few guidelines to follow when doing so.

1. Keep it simple. It should never take more than a couple of sentences to completely describe what an item does.
2. Re-use existing mechanics. Avoid creating new mechanics for use in items.
3. The item should not be an automatic “I Win” button. Items should be about giving more options and small advantages to augment a players existing skills. Items should never be more powerful than the players themselves.
4. Non-standard magic items should go away at the beginning of every reign.
