A sharp spear needs no polish. Religion, fiction, and folklore are the categories into which most people would place the statements given above. I contend that they all could also all into the category of mythology. History can become an interwoven thread of this complex tapestry as well, For example, King Arthur undoubia- bly had some historical basis Folklore embellished his deeds and incorporated existing tales. Merlin seems to have come from Irish and Welsh stories. Religion modified the stories to ‘wean out the Brythonic religions and toenhance Christian morals. The first mention of the Holy Grail or of the romance of Guinevere and Lancelot seems to have come about three hundred hears after the tales were first collected. —Genesis ta place called Shu, where the gold lies in the rock like suet in mutton. —Kukuana folk saying Finally, Arthur became a figure of mythology, with magical weaponsand a promise to return again when his country has need of him—a mouit found all over the world The points that theareas of history, mythology, folklore, and religion over- lapand are inextricably entwined. One man's religion is another man's my- thology, and every story that is now found in the library under “Mythol- ogy’ was once (or still is) accepted as literal truth by a large number of people, Therefore, these volumes will notat- tempt toaccept some myths as trueand to deny others; all ueasures, items, characters, beings, and monsters in thisbook will beconsidered mytholog- ical in the broadest possible sense of the word. —Rudyard Kipling ‘The reader must make the ultimate decision as to which entries will be considered factual and which fanciful, at least in the individual game uni- verse that he or she controls—and that is exactly how it should be. In an article on the search for El Dorado, the writer said that though the city never existed, so. many people searched and suffered for it and so many people believed in it, that it be- came real. Good luck in your search. A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY Note: Few original source works exist thatare written in English.

It deals mainly with magical items and treasures found in actual mythology and folklore, expressed in game terms that are adaptable to any type of fanta- sy, medieval, or ancient ole playing or miniatures game. In some instances a treasure or item is so closely associated with a monster or other being that the beast’s statistics ‘must be included. These are given at the end of the entry. ENTRIES are listed under the first let- ter of the first key word, although many configurations of the name may be possible (Aladdin's Flying Carpet, Carpet of Aladdin, Flying Carpet of Aladdin). In general, references are found under the name of the person, deity, or 1g associated with the item. ‘Secondarily, they may be listed under the name of the item itself if it is well-known. CONVENTIONS include the ‘D' ab- breviations for ‘die’ or ‘dice’: 1D20 ‘means roll one 20-sided die; 1D100 (or Df). means roll two 10-sided dice se- quentially, generating a percentage or number between 01 and 00 (read as 100); 3D6 means roll three 6-sided dice and add the results to get a sum. ABBREVIATIONS VALUE assumes with a medieval level of civilization that the value of one gold piece is about $20 in 1984 U.S. dollars. An income of 20 gold pieces would be a very good day for a mer- chant, but 5-10 gold pieces are more likely for a day's effort. ARMOR CLASS works on a scale where lower (or more negative) is bet- ter. No armor is AC 10. A shield adds ‘one step to make it armor class (AC) 9; chain mail would be AC 5; plate mail and shield would be AC 2. THACO is a handy statistic meaning “To Hit Armor Class 0.” When you know someone's THACO and you'll have the number required to score a successful hit with a D20 (or multiply by 5 to get the percentage chance of success). Forexample, if Achilles’ THACO is, 14, and the target is wearing chain mail with no shield (AC 5), Achilles needs to roll a9 ona D20(14-5=9), or 4.45 or less on Di (9 x 5% = 45%), CHARACTERISTICS (or Attributes or Ability Scores) are considered to be derived from 3D6, with 8 being the lowest score possible and with 18 being the normal maxiraum score. Rough conversions are made for use in game systems where percentage scores are used as a base (100 the normal human maximum), GENDER—Please read “he or she and “his or her” respectively for “he and “his” throughout this work, ex- cept where there is an obviously mas- culine antecedent. For the sake of brev- ity (and my syntactical sanity) the shorter masculine form is used. Some of the items described herein are extremely powerful, and each GM must decide whether or not to allow them, or whether to keep their powers as printed or toalter, or weaken, them, ‘The assumption is that the majority of player characters are between ap- proximately third to seventh skill lev- 1, although many items are consider- ably higher or lower in power than that range Some items are non-combative, but the more realistic campaigns will rec- ognize that something that can feed an army is probably worth more than something that can slay that army. A special note concerning magical items that belong to a deity or to a famous character—he isn't going tobe very happy when he finds out his per sonal magical “thingamabob’”is miss ing, and he might come looking for the character who took it....The GM should decide upon possible conse- quences before he allows such an item to be discovered. - Armor Class - --++ Hits To Kill. - Movement in feet/yards per melee round «+ Alignment ‘ seeee++Attacks per melee round Dm ...seeeseeeeeeeeeeeee Damage per attack THACO:.. .-To Hit Armor Class 0 Special Special Abilities Int.eeeeeee ce seeeeIntellect IT: .eceeeeeceeeeeeeeeeeeeceeeeeces Intellect I 7 s+ Insight -- Strength -Dexterity .

Aaron's Rod is from the Biblical tradition. ‘The rod can become a large snake, which ‘cannot be defeated by normal serpentsorby sorcery. Itcan also blossom and bear fruit, specifically almonds, enough to feed 10 people for a day. Each of these two func tions can be performed once per day. The rod can also be used as a +3 stalf, causing 1D6+3 pointsof damage, plus any strength bonuses, However, if the rod is used for evil or selfish ends, there is a 10% chance that Je hhovah will take action against the wielder which cumulatively increases every time used.

Aarvak, in Norse mythology, is one of the horses of the sun. Ifa mortal finds one ofthe shoes Aarvak occasionally throws, it can be polished to shine to any intensity, anging from a dim slow to the brightness of the sun itself. It takes one minute to rub the shoe to get a Tight, and then the light will shine for 80 nutes.

When the amulet is exhausted, the wearer will know that no change to his luck has been made, The amulet cannot be recharged. Appearance: The amulet is shaped like an inverted pyramid, bearinga gradually van- ishing inscription. Itis best when made of gold, but can also he made of lesser metal, Value: 40,000 gold pieces if unused, but this is impossible to determine, Achilles’ Shield Achilles Shield was forged by Hephaestus and the Cyclops and is truly an object of wonder and awe, even among the gods.

Achilles’ Spear [ev2speur | © Wounds from this spear can only be [Ge Se sealed taining rust from the spear. Achilles’ Spear is a +2 spear which can ‘create wounds which cannot be healed by normal medical or magical means. How- ‘ever, an ointment made with a bit of rust from the spear will heal any wound the spear itself has made. This will not, how. ‘ever, heal wounds made by any’ other weapon. Gods of healing, especially Apollo, can heal wounds made by the spear; other di ties may have difficulties. Telephus, king fof Mysia, was the firstto discover and to use successfully the secret ofthe spear Appearance: The spear looks more “nor: ‘mal” than most magical weapons, because thereare obvious traces of rust on it, But the rust is special; it won't weaken or eat into, the weapon. New rustappears one day after the old rust is removed, "The spear may bea bit larger than usual, since a few accounts translate the word for the weapon as lance. It is most definitely not, however, the long horseman's lance described in most role-playing games. ‘Value: 20,000 gold pieces. /®Can be made intoa powerful poison (ave vs. poison or die instantly). /eDiluted 10,000 parts water to 1 part aconite, it acts asa pain reliever. Aconite is any of a group of plants which are the source ol powerful poison;monks- hhood is one species. The deadly Nepal aconitecan be used on arrowheads tostopa tiger, a human, or even a whale. But like many poisons, aconite can be used indice doses as a pain-teliever Dosage: One dose is equal to about one tablespoonful of syrupy liquid, which is enough #0 coat one weapon. The poison stays on the weapon until a successful strike is made, until itis wiped off deliber: ately, or until it evaporates (24 hours) Appearance: A nature-oriented character ‘will have no troubleidentifying this plant, if the GM decides there ate some in the area In other eases, a nature-wise non-player character will have to identify and prepare the plant, charging 10 to 20 percent over the cost indicated. Value: Ifthe plant grows nearby, 20 gold pieces per dose, If the plant is not readily available, the cost is at least 10 times that amount, and may be higher at the GM's ‘option, Adam Bell's Bow 43 longhow Adam Bell's Bow is mentioned in an Eng- lish ballad, Bell and his friends Clim of the Clough and William of Cloudesly are all, famous outlaws ndexcellentarchers.
