Apr 01, 2019 In addition to that basic summary, I had decided that the raw materials would be classified in three ways. Each would have a rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Legendary. Those mirror the rarities of magic items established in the D&D 5E PHB and DMG for magical items. Items with one or many improving, reviewing, or removing templates present. Please help work on the problem presented on the template. Please help work on the problem presented on the template. (Also, if you’re now playing 5e as so many of us are, these are guidelines and the DM is well within rights to remind you that the game works fine with no magic items at all.) Next, we get new magic items, all Common. The DMG has only a tiny number of Common items, so this is a great addition.

To create magic items, spellcasters use special feats. They invest time, money, and their own personal energy (in the form of experience points) in an item’s creation.

Note that all items have prerequisites in their descriptions. These prerequisites must be met for the item to be created. Most of the time, they take the form of spells that must be known by the item’s creator (although access through another magic item or spellcaster is allowed).

While item creation costs are handled in detail below, note that normally the two primary factors are the caster level of the creator and the level of the spell or spells put into the item. A creator can create an item at a lower caster level than her own, but never lower than the minimum level needed to cast the needed spell. Using metamagic feats, a caster can place spells in items at a higher level than normal.

Magic supplies for items are always half of the base price in gp and 1/25 of the base price in XP. For many items, the market price equals the base price.

Armor, shields, weapons, and items with a value independent of their magically enhanced properties add their item cost to the market price. The item cost does not influence the base price (which determines the cost of magic supplies and the experience point cost), but it does increase the final market price.

In addition, some items cast or replicate spells with costly material components or with XP components. For these items, the market price equals the base price plus an extra price for the spell component costs. Each XP in the component costs adds 5 gp to the market price. The cost to create these items is the magic supplies cost and the base XP cost (both determined by the base price) plus the costs for the components. Descriptions of these items include an entry that gives the total cost of creating the item.

The creator also needs a fairly quiet, comfortable, and well-lit place in which to work. Any place suitable for preparing spells is suitable for making items. Creating an item requires one day per 1,000 gp in the item’s base price, with a minimum of at least one day. Potions are an exception to this rule; they always take just one day to brew. The character must spend the gold and XP at the beginning of the construction process.

The caster works for 8 hours each day. He cannot rush the process by working longer each day. But the days need not be consecutive, and the caster can use the rest of his time as he sees fit.

A character can work on only one item at a time. If a character starts work on a new item, all materials used and XP spent on the under-construction item are wasted.

The secrets of creating artifacts are long lost.

Table: Summary of Magic Item Creation Costs
Magic Item	Feat	Item Cost	Spell Component Costs		Magic Supplies Cost	Base Price⁴
Magic Item	Feat	Item Cost	Material²	XP³	Magic Supplies Cost	Base Price⁴
Rods usable as weapons must include the masterwork weapon cost. This cost is only for spells activated by the item that have material or XP components. Having a spell with a costly component as a prerequisite does not automatically incur this cost if the item doesn’t actually cast the spell. If purchasing a staff, the buyer pays 5 × the XP value in gold pieces. A character creating an item pays 1/25 the base price in experience points. Some items have additional value from a masterwork item component. An item’s market price is the sum of the item cost, spell component costs, and the base price.

Table: Estimating Magic Item Gold Piece Values
Effect	Base Price	Example
A 0-level spell is half the value of a 1st-level spell for determining price. Such as a luck, insight, sacred, or profane bonus. If a continuous item has an effect based on a spell with a duration measured in rounds, multiply the cost by 4. If the duration of the spell is 1 minute/level, multiply the cost by 2, and if the duration is 10 minutes/level, multiply the cost by 1.5. If the spell has a 24-hour duration or greater, divide the cost in half. See Body Slot Affinities. An item that does not take up one of the spaces on a body costs double. If item is continuous or unlimited, not charged, determine cost as if it had 100 charges. If it has some daily limit, determine as if it had 50 charges.
Ability bonus (enhancement)	Bonus squared × 1,000 gp	Gloves of Dexterity +2
Armor bonus (enhancement)	Bonus squared × 1,000 gp	+1 chainmail
Bonus spell	Spell level¹ squared × 1,000 gp	Pearl of power
AC bonus (deflection)
