During an adventure, it is likely that the player characters will recover some loot – both mundane and magical. As a general guideline, most monsters carry valuables as determined by the chart below (the value is in GP but the treasure may be in silver, copper, jewelry, gems, etc.). The referee should also roll 1d20 for every HD of the monster defeated. If a 20 is rolled, then a magic item of the referee's choosing has been discovered.

Magic Items

Enchanted items are rare. They fall into four broad categories. Consumable items are scrolls or potions that, once used, are expended. Scrolls are parchments inscribed with Cleric or Magic-User spells, which can be used by their respective classes to cast the inscribed spell without having it prepared. Magic-Users may instead choose to expend the scroll to inscribe it in their spellbook to be prepared and cast later. In either case, the spell fades from the scroll once used. Potions can be drunk by anyone. If drunk during combat the character may not attack in the same round. Weapons give a bonus to all to-hit and damage rolls per their specified bonus when used. Armor provides the specified bonus to the wearer's armor class on top of the armor's normal bonus. Miscellaneous items have various effects defined below.

Consumables

• Potion of Giant Strength: +4 bonus to melee damage for one hour.
• Potion of Healing: Heal 1d6+1 HP.
• Potion of Heroism: +2 bonus to Armor Class, to-hit and damage rolls for one hour.
• Potion of Flying: Gain the ability to Fly at twice normal speed for 1 hour.
• Potion of Speed: Double movement rate and attack twice per round for 5 rounds.

Spell Scroll: One randomly determined Cleric or Magic-User spell is written on the scroll: Roll a D6: 1-3 1st Level Spell, 4-5 2nd Level Spell, 6 3rd Level Spell (MU scroll: roll again, on a second 6, a 4th level Spell).

Weapons

Magical weapons are ranked as +1, +2, or +3. This bonus is added to all to-hit and damage rolls when using that weapon. Any melee, missile, or thrown weapon can become a magic weapon. (Roll 4d6. Four sixes +3 weapon, three sixes +2 weapon, all other rolls +1 weapon.)

Armor

Magical Armor and Shields have a +1 bonus, which is a beneficial modifier to the user's Armor Class. Any type of armor or shield can be magical.
