Magic Item Templates

**Topdecker** · January 8th, 2016, 04:41

So, I am just building a simple enough +1 weapon. In the magic item forge I've dropped a long sword in the left panel while the right panel wants me to drop a "Magic Item Template."

Naturally, I cannot find a collection or list of Magic Item Templates. I don't have the DMG just yet, but I do have the PHB and MM - though it seems unlikely that it will be in any of these. I was expecting a module that I would open.

Anyhow, if someone could explain where the the magic item templates are located, I would be appreciative!

Thanks!

Here's an example of a Weapon +1 template from the DMG. The DMG is the only module that includes templates.

Thanks, Moon Wizard. I am planning on getting the DMG in a week or so, but I am happy to know why I could not locate the templates.

Actually, anyone can make a +1 weapon in the forge. Open up the DD Basic Rules - DM to get the Weapon +1 template and then open up the DD Basic Rules Player or PH to get the Equipment.

The Basic rules has a limited amount of magic in it but it does have +1 Weapons, +1 Armor and spell scrolls templates for the item forge.

Ka-ching! +1 longsword crafted - thanks! This will be easier - or at least richer - once I have the DMG

You can also create your own magic item templates. Click on the little 'template' button in the items dialog and you can then use that in the right hand side of the Forge. Thus if you create a +1 Sword you can use that to imbue any weapon with a +1 bonus.

I keep hearing about an Item forge and dont know where its located. Is this something that's already in Fantasy grounds or must be purchased?

It's a feature of the 5E ruleset, and the button to access the Forge is located on the campaign items list window.

Oh...ok its a 5th addition thing. Was hoping they had it for Pathfinder. Thanks though.

You could use PCGen to get the same thing for Pathfinder and 5e. You would just have to transcribe manually.
