This book is written with the gamemaster in mind. While
this doesn’t mean that players won’t enjoy reading the
descriptions of the many items inside it isn’t in their power
to introduce these items into their campaign. That responsi-
bility lies with the gamemaster alone. Players of bards, wiz-
ards, rogues,or others with an interest in treasures may want
to read this book to help expand their knowledge of treasure.
Of course, just because an item might be described in here
as being decorated with 10 perfect obsidian stones doesn’t
mean that the gamemaster hasn’t modified the description
so that the item is now adorned with 5 flawed topaz gems.
Players should never assume that any item from this book is
used without being modified by the gamemaster.
Using This Book: GMs
This book is designed specifically for the gamemaster of
a d20 fantasy campaign. The mundane treasures presented
in this book all assume a “standard” campaign that is struc-
tured around the common elements of d20 fantasy.
Gamemasters running more unique campaigns may find that
some of these items are of little to no use. Or maybe not.
Once a gamemaster has entered the realm of the bizarre it is
impossible for others (such as myself) to know exactly what
will and won’t work in their campaigns.
Each item in this book is presented using the following
format:
 Another 101 Mundane Treasures
Name
Appearance: What the item is and looks like including
current state. What can be seen by looking at it. This is writ-
ten to be read (or paraphrased) to a player when he finds this
item.
Appraise Information: The information that can be
learned from a successful Appraise check. This section
includes the Appraise DC and gold piece value of the item.
Special Rules: Any special game rules the item requires.
The Treasures
What follows is the “meat” of this book. These treasures
are broken down into different categories to make finding
specific treasures easier for the gamemaster. All treasures
are listed alphabetically under their individual categories.
Gamemasters should make a small mark next to each
treasure as it is used so that they don’t accidentally introduce
the same item to their campaign more than once. (Doing so
on purpose would have to be for reasons I leave to your own
twisted imagination.)
ARMOR
The following treasures are all classified as “armor.” These
include, in addition to full suits of armor, individual compo-
nents such as helmets. Shields are also included in this cate-
gory.
Assassin’s Leathers

condition and decorated with dozens of small metal spikes,

secure the armor to the wearer are a dark red in color.
Appraise Information: DC 12. This suit of masterwork
spiked armor bears the sign of a great assassin, Black Morgue,

These dark brown trees are found at the edges of the
eastern swamps. They grow tall and have a large canopy.

ment bonus when used by that character only.

sistency to fire and water.

5 of 16
Unusual Material: Hell Iron
This metal, only found surrounding the base of recent-
ly active volcanos, is crimson in color and as hard as
steel. Using it increases the difficulty of crafting items
(+5 to craft DC) but it does make the items more valu-
able. The dwarves who first discovered this metal some
five thousand years ago named it “hell iron” and, over
time, it came to be known as irons of hell, helliron, and
iron of hell. Any of these names are appropriate for
describing this odd-looking metal.

artistry and age).
Special Rules: None. Weight: 11 lbs.

thousands of years ago for a human king who enslaved many

south. The king was slain in battle and his body, including all

ers from the western deserts discovered the site of the battle-

never been proven.

25 gp worth of gold plating, 125 gp for the silver lightning
bolts, and 900 gp for the artistic and historical value of the

artistry).
Special Rules: None. Weight: 2 lbs.
6 of 16
Medallion and Chain
Appearance: This circular medallion is about 3” across and
bears the symbol of bat wings. It is silver in color and the
chain it is fastened to is in pristine condition, shining when
held beneath light. The symbol on the medallion is of a black
metal that has been inlaid in the medallion.
Appraise Information: DC 12. The medallion is construct-
ed of electrum that has been plated in silver.The chain is made

Special Rules: None. Weight: 1 lb.
Unusual Material: Nilbog Flesh
The gray-colored flesh of these hideous once-goblins
is sometimes used in the creation of armors or clothing.
It is rare that a lawful or good-aligned character will
craft or use materials made from the flesh of these crea-
tures but many of chaotic or evil alignment have no hes-
itation when presented with the opportunity. A slain nil-
bog usually leaves behind only enough flesh so that a
craftsman can fashion 3 lbs. worth of this unusual mate-
rial. It would take many slain nilbogs to create a suit of
armor completely from their flesh.
Value: 45 gp/pound.
Hardness: 2.
Hit Points: 3/inch.
Uses: May be used instead of leather or other tough
materials used in the creation of clothing, armors, satch-
les, etc.
Special Rules: When used in clothing or armor, nil-
bog flesh imparts some of the creature’s damage rever-
sal ability on the wearer. For every pound of nilbog flesh
used in the creation of clothing or armor there is a 1%
chance (per hit) that 1 point of damage will instead heal
the wearer.
Example: A suit of studded leather armor crafted with
10 lbs. of nilbog flesh would have a 10% chance per hit
of reducing up to 10 points of damage from the attack
and, instead, healing the wearer by that amount.

lbs.

Appearance: A large metal coffin with two doors that are
lined with spikes on the inside. The head of the coffin is
shaped like that of a medusa and, overall, the coffin has a
humanoid-like appearance. The sculpting makes this a beauti-
ful work of art but the true purpose of the device scars the
beauty. The coffin has been carefully painted to make the
medusa as life-like as possible.
Appraise Information: DC 14. This device is, as you
already know, used to slowly torture and execute others.

iron though the spikes and many decorative elements of the

Justice is an association that polices the activities of wizards
and captures and tries those wizards who commit major
crimes involving the use of magic. Not every page of the book
is filled with the Tribunals “laws” – some of the pages list
offenders currently being hunted and provide as much infor-
mation on each offender as the Tribunal has been able to col-
lect. The last entry in this book dates it as twenty years old so

black cloth. Opened the rug measures 36” x 40”.

small human child. The casket has been used and the seals have
been broken. Inside is a handful of dirt and a single wooden
shoe.
Appraise Information: DC 14. The first logical conclusion is
that this casket belongs to a small vampire. Where the beast may
be, if it even lives, is a complete mystery. The wood used in the
construction of the coffin is a rare blue rosewood that grows the
western forests.
Value: 50 gp (40 gp for the wood, 10 gp for the coffin . . . the
dirt and shoe have no value).

the far eastern lands. It’s thick and strong and has been dyed a
bright red.
Appraise Information: DC 12. This is a fairly common
item in the eastern lands though, admittedly, this one is of a
superior design than the ones used in the homes of common-
ers.
Value: 175 gp. In the east this item would be worth consid-
erably less, probably 60 gp. A tatami from a common home
would be worth only 2 gp.

Troll Skin Rug
Appearance: This hideous looking rug has been made from
the tanned back, shoulders, neck, and head of a slain troll. In
order to preserve the hide the skin has been oiled and worked
14 of 16
into leather. As this process ruined the natural color of the
troll’s flesh somewhat the artisan dyed the leathery finish to a
deep shade of green. Though a few teeth are missing and the
eyes have been sewn together but otherwise the head and hair
are in reasonably good shape. The head is stuffed with dried
hay.
Appraise Information: DC 12. The rug is somewhat
unusual but not particularly sought after or considered as “vin-
tage”.

preserving materials, 4 gp for the dye)
Special Rules: None. Weight: 85 lbs.

silver bands and emerald stones, is a fairly common design
used in towns and villages throughout the land.The coating on
the inside of the basket protects whatever it is holding from
water seepage.
