Crafting Magic Items: A-C

Crafting Magic Items: A-C

We are back to crafting! After a long Thanksgiving and spooky month, it’s time to get back into crafting. There are… a lot of magic items in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (2014) so we are going to be at this awhile. This time, we are just making items from A through C, after that, D through M, N through Q, and R through Z…. unless I have to break it down further. Did I mention that there are a lot of magic items?

Crafting rules
A-C
D-M
N-Q
R-Z

If you want to know how we’ve come up with this system, make sure you check out our first part for making a crafting system. In addition, once we are done with all of this, I’ll be creating a PDF for our patrons on Patreon of the crafting system - so if you want everything in one spot, not on a website, consider supporting us! Otherwise, it’ll be here for you to reference whenever you want.
