02-21-07, 07:46 PM Hey there, I'm fairly new to DnD overall, but I've got a good DM who's helping he along. the only problem that we're seeming to have is, we cant find a random loot table adjusted for the new items in Eberron.

Seriously, my artificer has been holding out for a schema to randomly generate for ten levels before I realized they arent in the DnD DM table.

is there a list of changes or perhaps a complete ebberon loot table somewhere?

02-22-07, 09:12 AM Perhaps your DM should prepare important loot caches ahead of time, by using the GP amount & putting in eberron-centric items...

Further, you're an artificer... if you don't have the craft schema feat, ask your DM if you can hire a Cannith artificer who does. Then cooperate in the crafting. Recycle some of those useless useless items that MUST have popped up on random treasure rolls.

02-22-07, 05:36 PM Most of the Eberron-specific magic items are a bit beyond the scope of random magic. As a result, their inclusion on the random magic item tables doesn't make much difference. A good DM will just add one if it would make sense for the NPC or creature to have one.

In general, I don't like the random tables. They're fine for potions, but most other items should be handpicked, unless you want your players asking why that orc warlord didn't use the +3 Greataxe of Bloody Dismembering that was rotting in his treasury.

Nah, a goblin slow, weak or stupid enough to be made into a hat probably deserved that fate. But I'd be careful where you wear your new chapeau, it might draw a bit of attention from that poor goblin's kinsmen and let me tell you, goblins have huge families.
