I see nothing of masterwork gear in 5E. What's your table's rule on making masterwork gear?"House rule, yes. MW Weapons give +1 to attack rolls, as they did in 3.5. MW Armors are 75% of the original weight. MW Shields give +1 to shield bashes, and other offensive maneuvers that directly rely on shields. Base cost is an extra 300 gp for Weapons and Armor, 150 gp extra for shields.The MW property is usually independent of +1/+2/+3, but the bonus doesn't stack. So a +1 Sword and a +1 MW Sword is the same thing combat-wise, except the +1 MW sword is worth a bit more when you sell it. Likewise, a +2 Armor weighs more than a +2 MW Armor. A +2 Shield doesn't give you the +1 attack bonus to shield bashes, but a +2 MW Shield would.We do this to make low-level items a bit more varied and rewarding, while letting enemies resistant to 'normal weapons' remain challenging for a bit longer. Our first magic piece of weapon/armor found was at level 5 I think. We're level 6 now and we've got 3 party members with magic weapons, mine being a Longsword of Vengeance +1 (cursed item that gives you disadvantage when wielding any other weapons, and makes you go beserk when you take damage if you fail a DC 15 Wisdom save).</blockquote>
