Random Magic Item Generation (5e Variant Rule)

This variant rule allows for randomly generated magic items to be found in place of regular ones.

Each tier of magic item (common, uncommon, etc.) is assigned an amount of allowed properties of differing potencies. These potencies are organized into ranks going from I-V.

The amount of properties and ranks each rarity can get is not concrete and can be adjusted to better fit any campaign. If you end up with a magic item with no properties that give it effects, I.E. Range, Area of Effect, and Charges or it gives properties a stored spell already has. Reroll the highest ranked property or the useless property until the item has effects.

Reviews for "Embrace the Supernatural: 30 Random Dnd Magic Items"

- John Doe - 1 out of 5 stars - "Dnd random magic item is a waste of time. The items generated are completely random and often useless, making them feel more like a burden than a reward. I spent hours playing the game and all I got was a rusty spoon that supposedly has magical powers. What am I supposed to do with that? This game needs some serious improvements if it wants to be enjoyable."

- Jane Smith - 2 out of 5 stars - "I was really excited to try out Dnd random magic item, but it ended up being a disappointment. The items generated lacked creativity and didn't add any value to my gameplay. The descriptions were vague and the powers of the items were often underwhelming. It felt more like a chore to go through the random items than a fun and exciting experience. I would not recommend this game to anyone looking for a satisfying magic item generator."

- Mark Thompson - 1 out of 5 stars - "Dnd random magic item is a total letdown. The items generated are often illogical and don't make any sense within the context of the game. I received a magic ring that supposedly grants me the ability to speak to animals, but in reality, it did nothing of the sort. The game's lack of consistency and coherence is frustrating and destroys the immersion. I had high hopes for this game, but it failed to deliver on any level."

- Sarah Johnson - 2 out of 5 stars - "While Dnd random magic item has potential, it falls short in execution. The generated items are often unbalanced and can easily break the game. I received a staff that had the power to instantly kill any enemy, which made encounters feel trivial and unchallenging. The game needs better item balancing to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience. Until then, I cannot recommend it to other players."
