Each item gets a name, a rarity, one power and, if you want it, a drawback that makes players think twice. Perfect for treasure hoards, shops and rewards.
The best magic items have personality. Instead of a flat +1 bonus, these come with a small, specific power and a quirk that creates stories, like a sword that tarnishes when its owner lies.
Rarity is only a suggestion. Adjust the numbers to your game's power level, or keep the item purely narrative. The drawback toggle lets you hand out unambiguous rewards or morally interesting ones.
Looking for who guards the loot? Try the quest generator or give the item's maker a name with the D&D name generator.
