d30 Random Jewelry Generator By Christopher Stogdill (AKA the Frugal GM)

This d30 Random Jewelry Generator is patterned after FGM037e: d30 Random Gem Generator in that the GM is encouraged to use the d30 not only to determine the particu-
lar „flavor‰ of treasure item to be generated, but also that itemÊs makeup and how it affects the final value of that particular jewelry piece. These tables are designed to determine
the base value of the underlying jewelry piece only. Use the aforementioned table (FGM037e) to determine the characteristics of any gems set into jewelry, but remember that jewelers can be
quite crafty and use jewelry to hide gem imperfections. The GM might want to roll 2d30 on the final Gem Quality table and use the lower of the two results!

Using these tables: Roll 1d30 on Table 1 to select the type of jewelry created. The value of the piece can be determined by Table 3, either with a straight roll or after rolling on Tables 2a
and 2b to determine the appropriate modifiers to a Table 3 roll.
