Name
Appearance: What the item is and looks like including current state. What can be seen by looking at it. This is written to be read (or paraphrased) to a player when he finds this item.

Using This Book: Players

This book is written with the gamemaster in mind. While this doesnt mean that players wont enjoy reading the descriptions of the many items inside it isnt in their power to introduce these items into their campaign. That responsibility lies with the gamemaster alone. Players of bards, wizards, rogues, or others with an interest in treasures may want to read this book to help expand their knowledge of treasure. Of course, just because an item might be described in here as being decorated with 10 perfect obsidian stones doesnt mean that the gamemaster hasnt modified the description so that the item is now adorned with 5 flawed topaz gems. Players should never assume that any item from this book is used without being modified by the gamemaster.

Using This Book: GMs

This book is designed specifically for the gamemaster of a d20 fantasy campaign. The mundane treasures presented in this book all assume a standard campaign that is structured around the common elements of d20 fantasy. Gamemasters running more unique campaigns may find that some of these items are of little to no use. Or maybe not. Once a gamemaster has entered the realm of the bizarre it is impossible for others (such as myself) to know exactly what will and wont work in their campaigns. Each item in this book is presented using the following format:

The Treasures
What follows is the meat of this book. These treasures are broken down into different categories to make finding specific treasures easier for the gamemaster. All treasures are listed alphabetically under their individual categories. Gamemasters should make a small mark next to each treasure as it is used so that they dont accidentally introduce the same item to their campaign more than once. (Doing so on purpose would have to be for reasons I leave to your own twisted imagination.)

With Love, Bella, is written inside with a kiss stain. The rest of the book itself is a collection of vulgar poems and prose. Appraise Information: DC 16.

Unusual Material: Nilbog Flesh

The gray-colored flesh of these hideous once-goblins is sometimes used in the creation of armors or clothing. It is rare that a lawful or good-aligned character will craft or use materials made from the flesh of these creatures but many of chaotic or evil alignment have no hesitation when presented with the opportunity. A slain nilbog usually leaves behind only enough flesh so that a craftsman can fashion 3 lbs. worth of this unusual material. It would take many slain nilbogs to create a suit of armor completely from their flesh. Value: 45 gp/pound. Hardness: 2. Hit Points: 3/inch. Uses: May be used instead of leather or other tough materials used in the creation of clothing, armors, satchles, etc. Special Rules: When used in clothing or armor, nilbog flesh imparts some of the creatures damage reversal ability on the wearer. For every pound of nilbog flesh used in the creation of clothing or armor there is a 1% chance (per hit) that 1 point of damage will instead heal the wearer. Example: A suit of studded leather armor crafted with 10 lbs. of nilbog flesh would have a 10% chance per hit of reducing up to 10 points of damage from the attack and, instead, healing the wearer by that amount.

Troll Skin Rug

Appearance: This hideous looking rug has been made from the tanned back, shoulders, neck, and head of a slain troll. In order to preserve the hide the skin has been oiled and worked into leather. As this process ruined the natural color of the trolls flesh somewhat the artisan dyed the leathery finish to a deep shade of green. Though a few teeth are missing and the eyes have been sewn together but otherwise the head and hair are in reasonably good shape. The head is stuffed with dried hay.
