Aug 25, 2018  Good day Playgrounders, We are starting a new campaign with the PCs at level 13. High magic setting. DM loves to run very difficult encounters, so optimization is important. Starting wealth is 13000 gp and 1 rare item of our choice. The gold can be used to buy anything in the DMG at the following prices: Common 100g, Uncommon 500g, Rare 5000, V.Rare 20000 I'll be playing a path of berserker. I think it was in the DMG somewhere. Can you provide me a page number for the rule, because if it's a variant rule then I will have to discuss whether or not to add it to the files. If we accommodated every variant rule, it would be a mess.

From D&D Wiki

Much of this is a port from an original document which I (Zibby (talk)) did not write, but am putting in as a basis for how items are planned to function. Thank you to those who have contributed to this conglomerate both knowing and otherwise, which has ended up as the items and how items work in Voidhaven.

Crafting Magic Items[edit]

Crafting magic items is a time-consuming process in most games, but as this game world is meant to be a high-magic setting, crafting magic items has been modified to be considerably less time consuming.The progress in gp which can be made toward crafting a magic item increases as a character gains levels, as below. This also applies for gp per day progress when disenchanting.

Disenchanting[edit]

A character who takes this activity is disassembling a magic item, and extracting its magical essences into a useful common material, called arcane dust. A character must be at least a high enough level to craft a given item, in order to disenchant it. For each day of disenchanting, the character makes progress toward destroying the magic item based on their level as above, up to the full value of the item. Upon destruction of the magic item, they obtain a pile of arcane dust, a glowing blue metallic powder, worth half the value of the magic item it was extracted from. This dust counts as a magic item, and can only be sold through the selling a magic item downtime activity on p.129-130 of the DMG, but cannot be broken down any farther. Residuum can be used in the place of spell components, if you lack a components pouch or focus, and can be spent to cover the gp value of valuable spell components, but it is always consumed when used this way. Arcane dust can be spent in the place of the monetary expense of copying spells into a spellbook. It's main purpose is to be spent to reduce the crafting time of a new magic item, by artificially reducing its value for crafting purposes at a 1:1 ratio. (IE, if you have 50gp of arcane dust, and make a magic item with a value of 90gp, then you only need to craft up to 40gp of that to complete the item. The item is still worth 90gp, you just took a shortcut.) It is always consumed when used, releasing its metaphysical form from its temporarily physical state.

Many thanks to Kydo for your original work on Disenchanting.

Magic Item Values in Voidhaven[edit]

(Sane magic item prices)

Introduction[edit]

Have you ever wondered how much an item truly costs?Have you been wanting to find or craft an item but aren’tsure how it fits in to the grand scheme of things? Did youever look at sovereign glue and say to yourself, “There isno way that glue is worth 500,000 gp when Sentinal shieldis worth 500gp”. Well you are in luck because this guideis for you.Brainstorming with the Giant In the Playground, /r/DnDNext, and EnWorld forums, Saidoro has put togethera set of tables that break down the costs, reasons for thecosts, and DMG page to find the item.

DM Preface[edit]

Your world need not sell the magic items for the pricesgiven below. Your world does not even need to sell themagic items below at all. The primary purpose of thetables below is to establish the relative price of magicitems so that you can have a reasonably sane economyand/or so that you can quickly eyeball how much the swagyou’re giving your players is worth.The items are divided into a few different lists for yourconvenience. The lists are as follows:

• Consumables are items that are used some set amount of times (usually once) and then are gone.
• Summoning Items are items that summon creatures to kill things or solve problems for you.
• Combat Items are items that primarily make the user better at killing things. Some also have other killing-unrelated effects, but these are not the primary source of their utility.
• Noncombat Items are items that primarily make the user better at solving problems in a killing-unrelated manner. Some also make the user better at killing things, but this is not the primary source of their utility.
• Game-Changing Items are items that can have major effects on the way the players engage with the world or that can resculpt the campaign world in some major way all on their own. They are not necessarily overpowered, but the GM should take a look at them to make sure that the items they allow are compatible with the sort of game and world they want to create.

Each is discussed further in their own section. Byadjusting the prices of the various lists, the DM can makeit easier or harder to get their hands on various types ofproblem solving abilities.

Again, the prices below are not absolute. The DM mayadjust the prices of items individually or by list, they maymake any item available or not, they may say that magicitems can’t be sold for gold at all and that the below pricesonly roughly estimate value when people are tradingmagic items for other magic items or they may even notshow these tables to their PCs at all and just use them toestimate treasure values. The below lists are intended as atool, not an imposition on your campaign world.

Items that Won’t be priced[edit]

Candle of Invocation: Because we’ve learned a thing or two from 3.5

Deck of Many Things, Efreeti Bottle, Iron flask, Ring of Three Wishes, and Luck Blade: Because Wishes

Well of Many Worlds: Because if the GM wants you to have a TARDIS you’ll have one and if they don’t you won’t

Wand of Wonder: Because lolrandom

Ring of Djinni Summoning: It’s pretty much everything from the gamechanging list in a single item

Bag of Tricks: Creating permanent living creatures does absolutely silly things to the economy

Tome of the Stilled Tongue: No wizard would ever sell this

Manuals and tomes +2: If these come up, the GM is probably giving them to the whole party as a “level up” type thing

Belt of giant Strength and Potion of Giant Strength: breaks bounded accuracy

Rod of Resurrection: Plot device
