The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Enchiridion of Treasures and Objects d'Art is 144 pages intended as a resource for players and GMs alike. In it is a system for creating truly memorable (and believable) treasures - from single distingushing pieces of equipment to exotic treasure hoards. This system for creating objects d'art has the flexibility to create literally billions of works of art, from engraved gold chalices to finely spun cloaks to weapons made of gemstone and other exotic materials.

Adventurers! Tired of lugging around endless piles of coins? Want to get equipment that makes you stand out of a crowd and be noticed? Trying to find that special signature look to make you the talk of the town?

GMs! Tired of trying to come up with exciting and memorable non-magical treasures? Wondering just exactly why monsters have piles of coins - is that all they collect from mugging passing caravans? Wondering what you can pass out to low-level PCs bored with potions and masterwork items that will be appreciated but without giving them too much power?

Inspired by those who have long told us that no monster would really collect piles of coins and magic items, this product will add a whole new dimension to the art of treasure-hunting. This of neccessity includes treatments of the Appraise, Craft, Profession, Spellcraft, and other skills... In addition, new rules for crafting items and for economic systems of communities are included.

As with all of the works in the Enchiridion Series, this work is designed to be as modular as possible, allowing seamless and easy integration of as much or as little of the material as desired. The design is intended to be literally plug-and-play: no converting existing campaign material, instead just add what you wish right into your current campaign!

Includes some very well thought out revisions to the underlying economic system, including alterations to the Craft & Profression skills. The material qualities are impressive and are easily included into a "power components" magic item [...]

A fantastic book - full of great ideas and information. Sadly, its too big for me to print yet and the nature of the reference would be of more use to me in hardcopy than in a PDF file. I haven't gotten as much use from it as I would have liked. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
