Magic Item Templates

[Slagmoth]

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.

Is it possible to create a template that adjusts the weight of the base item? As an example: the chart in the DMG on "Who made it or Who was intended to use it" Elf-Made items are half the weight of normal items.

[Zacchaeus]

The weight of an item created in the forge I believe is taken from the mundane item used. So if you create a base item of elf made longsword then add it to a longsword +1 the weight shoul be the weight of the elf made base item.

But without you making the base item there isn’t a built in template which will alter the weight.
