[QUOTE="El Gallo Negro, post: 6850334, member: 6811648"] So, a 5th level Wizard in my game just came across a cool book. He was hanging out in a shop and took a gander at the bookshelf. I figured this would be a good time to allow a roll just for giggles. Well, a natural 20 told me that I had to come up with something. I didn't want to use a book from the DMG, not because I don't like them, but because I'm a fan of original items. Also, many of the books listed are a bit beyond the current player level. I know this might sound like a mistake, making things up on the fly like this, but it's something I really like doing. It keeps my brain engaged and always keeps the players interested because they're not always going to get generic magic items that lack individual flavor. The wizard began to read the book, to which I gave the title [I]A Hint of Dragon Scale[/I]. The title is meant to suggest enchantment or transmutation. I am intending to make it so that this book helps the wizard learn to create staffs, wands, and/or scrolls. Perhaps the wizard learns how to better identify magical items or even craft his own. This would be something the player and the character would love (he's a Forest Gnome Wizard who deals in trading exotic goods). I just figured I should throw this out there and see if anybody has some cool ideas regarding where I can go with this book. Thanks and cheers! [/QUOTE]
