Why?
Here I shall briefly attempt to explain why I bothered to write this table. In basics, I had always felt that the chances of finding magic treasure after almost every encounter was rare. I had also felt that the treasure table inside the role–play book left a little something to be desired, as the list of items was too short to last several adventures without warriors finding the same “unique” magical items over and over again. Then, when my wizard, elf and Brett. Knight all found and kept the same “unique” sword, I got thoroughly irritated, to put it nicely. However, what finally made my mind up for me was when two warriors on two following quests both found the same sword – The Sword of Vengeance. Now, the player who had originally found it had had it stolen from him, thus he became very peeved to see someone else find the blade that was “rightfully” his. ‘Now,’ I thought, ‘this never would have happened were it not for the short supply of magic items. Also, why the heck has a common monster got the Sword of Vengeance?? Surely an old sword or axe is far more likely!’
Thus, this table was created. Now, because of the increased chances of finding nothing, a common weapon or just gold, and to compensate for the fact that now the warriors are paying attention to the commoner weapons of the monsters, I suggest that the warriors either roll once for every monster they defeat (and this would help “joint” kills, as one warrior could take the gold, while the other could take the treasure) or they roll more often, say once each per encounter (yes. I like that better). A GM (or if you’re playing single play) could also allow the monsters to use the treasure they carry, but since this would take a long time for hoards of foes, it might be simpler just to stick to the old fashioned rules.
HAPPY QUESTING!
PHIL, CHAOS LORD
Your intricate search of dead bodies reveals nothing!
Sorry. This search revealed nothing but broken blades, seriously scarred armour and blood–stained clothes.
This foe wore now–ruined fabulous clothes – well, fabulous that is if you consider its living conditions – so, ignoring its worthless and broken equipment you raid its body for pouches of extra gold.
Roll as many D6 as you want and add up the score, multiplying by ten to determine how much gold you find. However, if any of the dice come up as ones, then you find nothing.
You discover an everyday item of killing.
Roll once on the Common Weapons Sub Table.

A rich man’s headgear… made of real cat.

Take a treasure card… and good luck.
A magic item!
Roll on the Magic Items table in the Roleplay Book.
You have found a seemingly ordinary weapon… but it is engraved with a rune!
You have found a minor magic weapon. Roll once on the Common Weapons Sub Table to discover what kind of weapon you have found, and then roll on the small table below to discover what kind of rune or magic is embedded into it (N.B. in the case of a rune axe being the item found, the axe is engraved with this rune and the one that it comes with). The weapon’s ordinary rules apply, but it will also follow the rules for magic weapons too (hit ethereal beings, etc, etc), as well as any rules applying to the specific rune or magic it has working on it. To work out the item’s cost, add 100 to its ordinary cost and double the result.
