Magic Tracks Dino Chompers is an exciting and innovative toy that brings together the world of magic tracks and dinosaurs. This unique toy combines the fun and creativity of building your own race track with the thrill of having a dinosaur chasing after your car. The Magic Tracks Dino Chompers set includes a flexible track that can be easily manipulated into any shape or design. The pieces easily snap together, allowing children to create a custom track layout that suits their imagination. Once the track is set, the included race car can be placed on it and set in motion. What sets this toy apart is the addition of an electronic dinosaur that roams around the track.
It is possible to have more than one of the same type of Property Rune on a set of armor. However, whichever is more potent will take precedence.
Most of my lower grades are assuming you are playing a campaign like Organized Play, with mixed enemy types and no particularly strong theme for your character that these runes would otherwise enable. Ethereal Tactical Utility; Level 17; 13,500 gp Being able to go Ethereal for a single action and return as a Free-action is super useful, both in exploration and encounter mode.
What sets this toy apart is the addition of an electronic dinosaur that roams around the track. This dinosaur, aptly named "Dino Chomper," is mounted on wheels and powered by batteries. As the car races around the track, Dino Chomper will follow closely behind, eagerly chasing after the car.
Enchanting Weapons and Armor with Runes
These rules are adapted from Paizo's Pathfinder 2nd edition rules, available for free online.
Most magic weapons and armor gain their enhancements from potent arcane or divine Runes etched into them. These Runes allow for in-depth customization of items. Runes must be physically engraved on items through a special process to convey their effects. They take two forms: Potency Runes and Property Runes.
Potency Runes offer the most basic and essential benefits: a weapon Potency Rune adds a bonus to a weapon’s attack rolls, and an armor Potency Rune increases the armor’s item bonus to AC.
Property Runes, by contrast, grant more varied effects—typically powers that are constant while the armor is worn or that take effect each time the weapon is used, such as a Rune that grants resistance to a specific type of damage or one that adds fire damage to a weapon’s attacks.
The number of property Runes a weapon or armor can have is equal to the value of its Potency Rune. A +1 weapon can have one property Rune, but it could hold another if the +1 weapon Potency Rune were upgraded to a +2 weapon Potency Rune.
An item with Runes is typically referred to by the value of its Potency Rune, followed by the names of any property Runes, and ends with the name of the base item. For example, you might have a +1 longsword or +2 fire-resistant chain mail.
Rune-etched armor and weapons have the same weight and general characteristics as the non-magical version unless noted otherwise, with one exception being magical items typically have greatly increased resilience and durability. For example, a +1 longsword would weigh the same as a standard longsword (unless made of special material such as mithril), but is less likely to break or be affected by wear and tear, such as rust.
Each Rune can be etched into a specific type of armor or weapon, as indicated in the Usage entry of the Rune’s stat block.
Transferring Runes
You can transfer Runes between one item and another, including a Runestone. This lets you either move one Rune from one item to another or swap a Rune on one item with a Rune on the other item. To swap, the Runes must be of the same form (potency or property).
If an item can have two or more property Runes, you decide which Runes to swap and which to leave when transferring. If you attempt to transfer a Rune to an item that can’t accept it, such as transferring a melee weapon Rune to a ranged weapon, you get an automatic critical failure on your ability check to transfer the Rune. If you transfer a Potency Rune, you might end up with property Runes on an item that can’t benefit from them. These property Runes go dormant until transferred to an item with the necessary Potency Rune or until you etch the appropriate Potency Rune on the item bearing them.
The DC of the ability check to transfer a Rune is determined by the item rarity of the Rune being transferred, and the price of the transfer is 10% of the Rune’s price, unless transferring from a Runestone, which is free. If you’re swapping, use the higher level and higher Price between the two Runes to determine these values. It takes 1 day to transfer a Rune or swap a pair of Runes.
Crafting Runes
Creating a rune follows the same rules for creating other magical items; the cost, time, and spell slots required are dependent on the rarity of the rune. Additionally, creating a rune requires a valid target to etch it onto, such as a Runestone, or a valid weapon or piece of armor. Potency Runes can be applied directly to mundane weapons and armor, however property Runes require an item with a Potency rune already etched on it, or a Runestone to hold it until it can be applied to a valid item.
Potency Rune Effects
Armor Potency: adds +X to the item's Armor Class, and determines the maximum number of property Runes.
Weapon Potency: adds +X to the weapon's attack and damage rolls, and determines the maximum number of property Runes.
Item Potency: determines the maximum number of property Runes.
Specific Armor and Weapons
Unlike armor and weapons enhanced with runes, specific armor and weapons (such as Blackrazor or a holy avenger) are created for a specific purpose and can work quite differently from other items of their type. Specific magic armor and weapons can’t gain property runes, but you can add or improve their potency runes if they possess them.
First, let’s figure out what exactly Armor Runes even are.

Reviews for "Take Control: Race with Duno Chompers on Magic Tracks"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic Tracks Dino Chompers. I bought it for my son because he loves anything dinosaur-related, but the quality of the product was underwhelming. The tracks were flimsy and easily came apart, and the dinosaur figures kept falling off as well. It was frustrating to see my son getting constantly frustrated with it. I wouldn't recommend this toy to anyone looking for a durable and fun play experience.
- John - 1 star - I have to say, the Magic Tracks Dino Chompers was a complete waste of money. The tracks didn't fit together properly, and they easily broke. The dinosaur figures were poorly designed and their mouths didn't even close properly. My kids lost interest in this toy within minutes, and I'm glad I didn't spend too much on it. Save your money and look for something better.
- Lisa - 2 stars - The Magic Tracks Dino Chompers didn't live up to my expectations. It looked fun and promising, but in reality, it was a disaster. The tracks kept coming off and the dinosaur figures were just not engaging enough for my son. He quickly lost interest and hasn't played with it since. I'm really disappointed with this purchase and won't be buying any more Magic Tracks products in the future.
- Mike - 1 star - I regret buying the Magic Tracks Dino Chompers. The concept was interesting, but the execution was poor. The tracks were flimsy and didn't stick together well, and the dinosaur figures looked cheap and poorly made. My son lost interest within minutes and found it frustrating to play with. I wouldn't recommend this toy to anyone looking for a quality and enjoyable play experience for their kids.
