Introduction

Magic items are an integral part of the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS ®

game experience. As long as D&D has been around, there have

been +1 s words and potions of healing —they’re as inextricably linked

with the game’s identity as 18th-level ﬁ ghters and magic missile

spells. Every ﬁ ghter saves up for his ﬁ rst magic weapon, and no

one who’s played a paladin hasn’t dreamed about what it would

be like to wield a holy avenger .

Magic items also make up a crucial part of every D&D character’s

array of abilities. A magic weapon can slice through a creature’s

damage reduction, a ring of protection diverts otherwise deadly

attacks, and a handy potion or scroll can tip the balance in a critical

encounter. A character without magic items is like a wizard with

only half her spells prepared or a ﬁ ghter who hasn’t bothered to

select all his feats—he’s simply incomplete.

But compared to spells and feats, magic items haven’t received

very much “quality time” in the current edition of the game. Not

only are they scattered across dozens of books with little sense of

organization or theme, but their effects are often poorly deﬁ ned

and they’re frequently—some might even say usually—over-

priced or underwhelming. As a result, only a handful of magic

items are actually widely used, ranging from the humble +1 long-

sword to the renowned ring of invisibility .

That’s no longer the case.

Magic Item Compendium ushers in a brave new world of magic

items—a world with clearly deﬁ ned effects and activation times,

with interesting items at every price point, and with exciting,

aggressively priced options for every class and character level.

Combining hundreds of revised and repriced items from previous

sources with a wagonload of brand-new, never-before-seen-or-

even-imagined magic items, this book is your D&D character’s

key to the candy store.

But don’t just take our word for it: Go ahead, start turning the

pages. Check out the revamped armor and weapon properties in

Chapters 1 and 2. Marvel at all the swift-action-activation gloves,

boots, and belts in Chapter 3. Drool over the handy adventuring

tools in Chapter 4, and imagine how cool your character will look

when he’s decked out in one of the item sets in Chapter 5. And

that doesn’t even cover the book’s exciting new take on relics, the

immensely handy augment crystals , the array of “sorcerer’s-best-

friend” runestaffs, and so on.

WHAT’S IN THIS BOOK

Traditionally, magic items have been divided into categories based

partially on form and partially on function, creating a system that

doesn’t always help the reader know where to go looking for some-

thing. An item holding 50 uses of a particular 1st- to 4th-level spell

is called a wand, but a similarly shaped item that has an unusual

nonspell effect that it can generate a few times per day might be

a rod or even a wondrous item. An item you wear that provides a

continuous magical effect is probably a wondrous item . . . but it

might be a ring, or even a suit of armor.

This book instead divides magic items into four basic catego-

ries—armor, weapons, clothing, and tools—with each category

receiving a separate chapter. This classiﬁ cation has no effect on

game play—you still use Forge Ring to craft an item described

as a ring (or, more important, an item that has Forge Ring as a

prerequisite)—but it should make it a bit easier for you to ﬁ nd

various items.

Armor (Chapter 1): This category includes both speciﬁ c, pre-

constructed magic suits of armor or shields as well as the various

properties that can be added to any appropriate suit of armor or

shield (such as fortiﬁ cation or acid resistance). It doesn’t include

robes (or other items worn in the same body slot as armor), since

most of those items don’t offer the same kinds of effects, nor does

it include bracers of armor or other items that provide similar pro-

tection—those are both clothing items.

We ap on s (Chapter 2): This category includes both speciﬁ c,

preconstructed weapons as well as the various properties that

can be added to any appropriate weapon. It also includes rods

that function primarily as weapons (such as the rod of ﬂ ailing ), but

not those without such functions, or whose weapon functions

are clearly secondary to their other functions (such as the rod of

alertness )—those are tools. Similarly, it doesn’t include offensive-

based items that aren’t wielded as weapons (such as the circlet of

blasting or the iron bands of Bilarro )—such items are either clothing

or tools, based on whether they’re worn or just held.

Clothing (Chapter 3): This category includes all magic items

that must be worn in order to function, other than magic armor

and shields (which are in the armor category). The clothing cat-

egory also includes jewelry and similar baubles. Most clothing

items take up a body slot (see page 218).

Tools (Chapter 4): This broad category includes all magic items

that must be held, consumed, or otherwise manipulated in order

to function (rather than simply being worn), not including items

wielded as weapons. By deﬁ nition, tools don’t occupy a body slot;

most but not all must be held to be activated. Potions, scrolls,

wands, and staffs are also considered tools.

Item Sets (Chapter 5): This category includes items that fall

into all four of the categories described above. Rather than split-

ting these sets up by item category, however, each complete set

is presented together for easy reference.

Using Magic Items (Chapter 6): This chapter collects, revises,

and expands various rules and guidelines for handling magic

items in play, from placing the right item in a treasure hoard to

identifying the item to wearing it properly.

Appendices: The book concludes with two sets of extensive

tables listing all the magic items in this book as well as those in

the Dungeon Master’s Guide . The tables are designed to allow quick

reference by DMs and players looking for just the right item, as

well as for random generation of treasure hoards.

than simply kept in a pocket, pouch, or backpack) for its power to

function. Augment crystals, a new type of magic item described

on page 221, have an entry of — (armor crystal), — (shield crystal),

or — (weapon crystal).

Caster Level: The item’s caster level, most often used to deter-

mine its resistance to dispel checks.

Aura: The item’s aura strength, which is revealed if it is sub-

jected to a detect magic spell, followed by a semicolon. Next, in

parentheses, is the Spellcra ft DC required to determine the school

of magic, followed by the school or schools of magic associated

with the item’s aura (usually determined by the spells listed in an

item’s prerequisites). If the item requires only universal spells, or

if it requires no spells, this reads “no school.”

If multiple spells of different schools are required, the item’s

aura is of the school of the highest-level spell. When two spells

of different schools are equally high in level, the entry mentions

both schools.

Activation: The type of action required to activate the item’s

effect, along with what the user must do to activate the item (see

Activating Magic Items, page 219). An entry of — indicates the

item operates continuously, without any need for activation.

Wei g ht : Item’s weight, in pounds. An entry of — indicates the

item has a negligible weight (less than 1/2 pound).

A visual description of the item, read by the DM to a player whose char-

acter has discovered the item.

A description of the item’s functions, including its effect, dura-

tion, range, uses per day, and so on.

Lore: Information about the item that may be learned by

making appropriate Knowledge checks. The item’s name and/or

functions must be known before Knowledge checks reveal this

information.

Prerequisites: The feats, spells, or other prerequisites required

of the creator of the item.

Cost to Create: The item’s gp cost, XP cost, and days to create.

MAGIC ITEM

FORMAT DESCRIPTION

This book introduces a new format for describing magic items,

which combines useful elements of past item formats with the

familiar functionality of spell descriptions from the Player’s Hand-

book . The new format presents the most important information

about each item—how it’s activated, how much it costs, where

it’s worn, and what it does—in a simple, predictable layout that’s

easy to refer to during play.

OTHER SOURCES

Magic Item Compendium draws on material from a number of

sources aside from the three D UNGEONS & D RAGONS ® core books—

the Player’s Handbook ( PH ), Dungeon Master’s Guide ( DMG ), and

Monster Manual ( MM ).

These other sources, and the abbreviations used to identify

them in the following text, are: Book of Exalted Deeds ( BoED ), Com-

plete Adventurer ( CAd ), Complete Arcane ( CAr ), Complete Divine ( CD ),

Complete Psionic ( CP ), Complete Warrior ( CW ), E BERRON Campaign

Setting ( ECS ), Epic Level Handbook ( ELH ), Expanded Psionics Hand-

book ( EPH ), Libris Mortis ( LM ), Miniatures Handbook ( MH ), Magic of

Incarnum ( MoI ), Player’s Handbook II ( PH2 ), Spell Compendium ( SC ),

Sandstorm ( Snd ), and Tome of Magic ( ToM ). In general, possession

of any or all of these other sources is not necessary to make use of

the material in this book.

ITEM NAME

Price (Item Level): The purchase price of the item, in

gold pieces (gp). The item’s level (see page 226) is given in

parentheses.

Body Slot: The location where the item is worn on the body

(see Body Slots, page 218). A n entr y of — indicates the item need

only be carried on the body to function. An entry of — (held)

indicates the item must be physically held or manipulated (rather

change, work with your DM to f ind an equitable solution. Maybe

the wizard who crafted it for you offers a rebate (or an extra

item) to make up the difference for an overpayment, or perhaps

the DM just promises to make it up to you with some extra

treasure in the next few encounters. And if you underpaid for

an item, well, consider yourself lucky . . . but don’t be surprised

if the next couple of encounters provide a little less gold than

you’d expect!

YOU CHANGED MY MAGIC ITEMS!

Yes, we did. Chances are, if your character owns a magic item

that doesn’t appear in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, something

about that item—its price, activation, effect, or even its body

slot—is different here from when it was originally published. We

didn’t change these items on a whim—the revisions here are

designed to create a better overall game experience.
