Description

From publisher blurb:

Welcome to 100 Magical Books, Scrolls, and Inks for the Busy Game Master – a list of odd and unusual magical items built with ink and paper as its receptacle of power. Each piece in the list is a unique magic item for an adventurer to use in the right situation to get an edge over a monster, trap, or other condition. Each item is built with a book, parchment, ink, vellum, or other writing tools at its core, but feel free to change the base type to make it something your party members would appreciate better.

Each magical book and other writing item detailed in this list has one or more fascinating abilities. As the game master, feel free to tinker with the items and change their type or magical abilities to fit the characters in your game world. The items are also described independently of class. It is up to the game master to decide if anyone can use the item or if it is restricted to one or more classes.

Take a bit of time to read each item in the list. Think of ways to make some writing-based magic items perfect for your game and the mix of player characters. Or drop them in as is to allow the players the excitement of finding a new and unusual bit of magic and deciding which player benefits from its capabilities the most. Books, scrolls, and similar magics typically do not require attunement, but some may. If they require attunement, they will be noted.

Use this list to choose a random writing-based magic item by rolling a D100 (or 2 D10s) or actively choosing a particular item to fit a specific player’s character or game goal.

So, what are you waiting for?

Take any item on the list, apply a little imagination, and let the adventure unfold.

May all your adventures be spectacular!
