1d10 Random Minor Sword & Sorcery Bits & Pieces of Adventurers Table For Your Old School Campaigns

Adventuring is a dangerous business & sometimes adventurers have to give in  to the effects of Death. They often leave behind more then mere body parts & or a decaying corpse. Space is limited when adventuring so they often take bits & bobs of treasure or relics.



Sometimes its these items that do in adventurers, there is a 60% chance of a relic or other small bauble of being cursed. There is also a 10% chance of this piece of jewelry or sorcerous knickknack having belonged to a powerful wizard or other magical practitioner. Adventurers should tread lightly in the shadow of those who have come before them.  



Among some jaded & decedent royals there is a fashion of acquiring these adventurer's baubles & rings for their aesthetic & macabre origin as collectables. These minor magic items often have strong aura of magick & power as the desperation & violence of those who sought them feeds the enchantment of these pieces. Over time with more & more deaths, murders, betrayals, & depraved acts the magick of these items can grow very strong indeed. There is an increase of 10% of the range & a very dangerous chaotic effect to some magic items. See appropriate random matrix coming soon.
