A magic items generator is a tool or program that is designed to create unique and random magical items for use in tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) or other fantasy settings. These generators often utilize algorithms or tables to generate different combinations of item properties, powers, and effects. The purpose of a magic items generator is to provide players and game masters with a quick and easy way to generate new and interesting magical items for their games. This can be particularly useful for game masters who need to come up with a large number of magical items for their campaign or for players who want to add some variety to their characters' equipment. Magic items generators can generate items of various types, such as weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, wands, rings, and amulets. They may also generate items with different rarities or power levels, ranging from common items with minor bonuses to legendary artifacts with game-changing abilities.

Master Magic Item Generator?

I was wondering if someone had created a master random magic item generator using all the core books? I have looked and I have been unable to find anything.

Well technically there is the everburning torch, and perhaps some alchemical items from the equipement list in the phb would count.

I think what he wants is a Magic item generator that uses all the WotC Books.

You know, one that can roll up the treasure to include scrolls with spells from the complete books, and magic items only detailed in "races of the dragon" and whatnot.

Personally, I'd like one of those! I mean, (grabs a random book off his shelf) Complete adventurer has 7 new weapons, 13 alchemical items, 8 alchemical capsules, 7 alchemical weapon capsules, 9 new toolkits, 9 masterwork instruments, 2 new magic armor types, 2 new magic weapon types, 7 new specific magic weapons, 2 specialist rings, 8 potions / oils, 84 new spells for scrolls, 13 new wands, 21 new minor wondrous items, 5 new medium wondrous items, 4 major wondrous items.

And none of them will ever show up in your typical DMG random treasure roll unless the DM modifies their own table.

Pathfinder: Magic Item Generator

Have you ever looked at the random tables for magic items in a D&D settlement? They aren’t the sort of thing you can use at the table when the PCs unexpectedly visit a town. You’re supposed to roll for the number of minor, medium, and major items based on town size, usually with multiple d4s. Then you have to roll for each of those items – what kind of item is it? Which specific item is it? Are there any other details that need to be rolled? And if you get a potion, wand, or scroll result, you’ll have to pick the spells yourself (although thankfully Paizo provided random spell tables for just that purpose in Ultimate Equipment).

Alternatively, you could follow the contradictory rule that there’s a 75% chance that any item is available as long as it costs less than the town’s Base Value. But that, to me, make magic too easy to acquire and too commonplace. I prefer the random tables, for all of their lack of utility during play.

This was a minor thorn in my side in the Kingmaker campaign because the players would travel to Restov from time to time, and the wizard always wanted to know what scrolls and magic items were available. There are some random item generator webapps out there, but none met my specific needs of generating items for a town. They also often did not provide all of the details – what spells are on the scroll? What kind of energy does the ring protect against? Is there anything for a martial halfling to buy? And so on. I actually rolled up slates of available magic items for towns beforehand and printed them out so that I would have the data when needed at the table.

But that was rather time consuming and tedious. So I made my own random generator! Now when the players head to the big city, I can start up the application, pick the proper town size, click the button, and poof, done! I can also generate X number of items of any quality level (minor, medium, major) or item type (armor, weapons, etc.) if I need something more specific. The underlying engine is actually being used by the Kingdom Manager application to generate random items for settlement buildings, as well. I had crafted a primitive interface for the stand-alone generator, as it was only ever used by me. But I was recently thinking that others might find it useful, so I cleaned it up and am now releasing the program into the wild.

Why use this application over the other options out there? Well, obviously you don’t have to, and it doesn’t run on mobile devices, so that’s a definite mark against it. However, it’s the only random magic item generator for D&D that I’ve seen that does all of this at the same time:

• Easily generates all the items for a settlement of a particular size!
• Can generate an arbitrary number of items with user-selected filters (e.g. only weapons)
• Armor and weapons can be different sizes
• Specific spells are generated for scrolls, potions, and wands
• Additional details are generated for those spells and item properties that need them (e.g. energy resistance)
• Charges are generated for wands and staves
• Prices are provided taking all of the above into account
• The results can be sorted by different criteria

If you want to try it out, the program can be downloaded here.

Update: Please let me know if you’re seeing strange gold piece values for items! I think I fixed that issue but it’s difficult for me to test it out.

Update #2: Apparently I uploaded the wrong file when I thought I fixed the issue. Please download & install the latest from the link above if you’re having issues, and please let me know if the new version fixed them!

Update #3: Fixed an issue where weapons & armor smaller than Small or larger than Medium were not having their price adjusted for size.

They may also generate items with different rarities or power levels, ranging from common items with minor bonuses to legendary artifacts with game-changing abilities. These generators often allow for customization and configuration options, allowing users to specify certain parameters for the items generated. For example, users may be able to select the type of item, the power level, or specific properties or abilities that they want the generated items to have.

Your Favorite Silly Item from Weak Magic Item generator

Pulling this out from a different thread because it deserves it's own. This is for items that you generated using the weak item generator found here http://www.lordbyng.net/inspiration

I ran into this

Compassionate Maul
Weapon (Maul), uncommon (requires attunement)
Wounds inflicted with this weapon cause no pain.

You literally smash someone with a maul and they look at their crushed hand, look at you, think hmmm that really should hurt me.

Phantom Quarterstaff of Teeth
Weapon (Quarterstaff), uncommon (requires attunement)

Damage inflicted with this weapon leaves no physical sign of injury, such as cuts and bruises, and draws no blood.

Once hit by this weapon, the victim cannot regain hit points until the beginning of their next turn.

However it would be even more interesting to have this (not generated, but manually combined myself)

Compassionate dagger of the Phantoms
Weapon (Maul), uncommon (requires attunement)
Wounds inflicted with this weapon cause no pain.

Damage inflicted with this weapon leaves no physical sign of injury, such as cuts and bruises, and draws no blood.

You hit them over and over again and they have no idea they are dying, until they out and out fall. This would be an amazing weapon for an assassin too
