Novus 2nd Edition

Novus 1st Edition

Almost anything can be made into a magical item. It the items magical abilities are related to the form and function of the item, then it has a Base Cost of 1,000 gp. If any of the magic of the item is not related to its form and function, then the Base Cost of the Item will be 2,000 gp.

Each ability that the item has will add 1,500 gp to the cost of the item. Bonuses add 500 gp to the item for each +1 that the item has. These costs are for abilities that enhance or go with the natural use of the item. Abilities that have no connection with how the item is used normally will cost double.

Abilities that work continuously add +5,000 gp to the cost of the item. Abilities that work at the will of the wearer add 7,500 to the cost of the item.

Sample Miscellaneous Magic Items

Backpack of Holding: This normal looking backpack actually a portal to a small dimensional pocket. It is capable of holding up to 2,000 lbs worth of gear, with no volume restrictions, and never weighing more than 1 lb for every 100 lbs it has within it. The only restriction is that the items must fit within the opening of backpack. The owner of the backpack may pull out any item that he knows is in the pack on the first try. If the owner attempts to put a living creature in the pack, that creature will die within a few minutes as the backpack does not contain any air to breathe. Should the backpack ever be destroyed, all items within it will be lost. (cost: 4,000 gp — 1,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for the dimensional pocket, +1,500 for the ability to find specific items to remove)

Bracers of the Spider: These are very powerful items. This is a set of black leather bracers with silver filigree that is reminiscent of a spider’s web. This item has 20 charges, and will recharge at a rate of 1 charge for every hour that the bracers are not used. Each charge allows the wearer to use one of the following effects:

  • Spiderclimb – Wearer is able to cling to walls and ceilings for the duration. Movement rate is one half of their normal movement rate. This lasts for 10 minutes.
  • Web Rope – Wearer can shoot forth a thick strand of webbing that is up to 20’ in length for every charge expended. The end of the strand is sticky and will adhere to the surface that it is aimed at.
  • Web Grapple – Shoots forth a web that makes a ranged grapple against a foe that is up to 50’ away. Use either a [[Combat Skills|Ranged Combat]] skill or [[Magecraft]] skill as the skill for making this attack, whichever is higher. Target of the attack may make a Save vs. Str to break free. Wearer may increase the TN of the Save by 2 for each extra charge used in this ability.

(cost: 8,000 gp — 2,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for 20 charges +1,500 gp for the spiderclimb ability, +1,500 gp for the web rope, +1,500 gp for the web grapple)

Cloak of the Bat: This is dark leather cloak. The wearer may, up to 3 times a day, transform the cloak into a set of giant bat wings that allow him to fly at a rate of 5’ per Action Point during combat, or 50 miles per hour when not in combat. (cost: 6,500 gp — 2,000 gp base, +4,500 gp for flight 3 times a day)

Cloak of Invisibility: When the wearer of this hooded cloak draws the hood over his head, he is made invisible. He will remain invisible so long as he does not move faster than a normal walk, attempt to attack somebody or attempt to cast a spell. Attempting to perform any of these actions will immediately cause the hood to come off the wearer’s head, rendering him visible (before the action is completed). (cost: 8,500 gp — 2,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for invisibility, +5,000 gp for the ability to be constant when the hood is up)

If the wielder uses it as a focus for any type of scrying spell, he may cast spells on himself that expand his sensing capabilities beyond normal or cast spells, which are not against DEF, upon the target of the scrying. The target still gets his Saves against those spells and he also receives a +2 modifier for all such Saves (cost: 5,000 gp — 2,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for ability to use sensing spells through the Crystal Ball, +1,500 gp for the ability cast spells upon the target of the scrying).

Only items can fit within the opening may be placed within. If the pouch is destroyed, all items within are lost. (cost: 2,500 gp — 1,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for the dimensional pocket, +1,500 gp for the ability to find specific items to remove, -1,500 gp for a smaller weight limit)

Lockpicks of Opening: This finely crafted set of lockpicks is enchanted with a +3 magical bonus. (cost: 2,500 gp — 1,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for +3 magical bonus to picking locks)

Scrying Stone: This small crystal allows the wielder to be able to view any person or location that he has actually seen or been to before. (cost: 10,500 gp — 2,000 gp base, +1,500 gp for ability to scry persons, items or locations, +7,000 gp for the ability to be used at will)
