RECIPES + MINI QUESTS

This book lists 19 Magic Armors, their descriptions, and their

Creation Costs. However, just because the Creation Cost is

listed does not mean a player should have access to it.

Welcome to the 17 Magic Armors,

the second book in the new 17

series from The Le Games.

One way of spicing up your world is be introducing Recipes .

The concept is simple: the recipe for creating this magic item

may be part of the treasure you hand out, or part of a quest.

That’s right, make the players work for it a bit.

This book has 19 magic armor

prefixes (we thought we’d throw in

2 extra because we like to be

Unorthodox ). Most can be applied

to any armor, while some are

specific to armors.

Let’s face it, a wizard who learns to create a new type of

Armor isn’t going to just give it out for free, not to mention the

particular recipe may just be lost in time.

CASTER LEVEL

Several of the Magic Armors allow the wielder to cast spells or

spell-like abilities. Unless otherwise noted, assume the Caster

Level is equal to the character level.

Here are some places that these weapon enchantment recipes

can be found:

• The traveling merchant, Larethia has lost his one of his two

horses in a highway robbery. He managed to force the

bandits to withdraw by stabbing the leader in the leg, but

not before they got away with his precious horse. He offers

you a magical recipe if you find the bandits and return his

horse.

POWER BALANCING

Not all campaign worlds are created equal. In some worlds, a

+3 AC armor is weak, while in other worlds, that same armor

can make you a god or goddess. It is important to remember

that the GM should tweak these items as necessary to balance

them out.

• Enshula is a mage who has fought in many wars, including

the Clone wars, Diamond wars, and J-Lo wars. He has long

since retired and is growing weaker by the day. He offers

you a magic recipe, and in return he wants you to return to

him with a bowl of spider-chowder soup, but not any

spider-chowder soup – he wants the kind that is made from

his home village in the Eastern mountains.

Ideas for balancing out these armors:

• Give them to players, but do not allow them to create them.

• Modify the AC bonuses or Arcane Spell Failure chances.

• Grant Save bonuses or penalties when wearing the armor.

• Modify the DC’s for the Spell-like abilities

• Modify the creation cost to be cheaper or more expensive.

• Your party finds a journal belonging to the deceased great

warrior Xe . You know of his exploits, and you know that

his village is nearby. Perhaps if your party returns it to his

living descendents, then perhaps they will offer a reward?

• There is a mutated troll terrorizing the town of Ichmas . The

town is a poor one and cannot put up much of a defense

against this large creature. Although they are poor, if your

party can rid them of the troll then they will be happy to

give you some items that were left by wizard constable

(who was killed in a freak baking accident weeks ago).

• Harmus is a 13-year old boy who is crying at the docks.

When you ask why he is crying, you find that he had

accidentally dropped his father’s ring into the river. He asks

that you please find it for him. He offers you an item that

he found in the forest earlier that day. Of course you could

always just take it from it, but how fun would that be?

17 Magic Armors

Balancing

This enchantment makes the armor pristine, as if it

were made from an artisan blacksmith. The wearer

of this armor will find a greater balance within

himself. He is granted a +2 bonus to all dexterity

based checks, such as Balance or Tumble.

Blade Jumping

This enchantment can only be applied to Light

Armor (Padded, Leather, Studded Leather, Chain

Shirt). The armor itself weighs and feels as it

normally would, but the wearer will find that he can

jump with ease while wearing it – he gains a +3

bonus to all jump checks.

Furthermore, the wearer of this enchanted armor

has a 20% chance to avoid being knocked down in

any manner (this is in addition to any save that he

would normally make to avoid being

knocked down). And if the wearer is

prone , he may get up normally

without provoking an attack of

opportunity that he normally would.

This enchanted armor gives the wearer the ability to

avoid bladed attacks and lets him

strike back at his attacker with

extreme prejudice.

Once per encounter, the wearer

may attempt to jump and avoid his

attacker’s melee attack, but only if

the attack is made with a bladed

weapon. To successfully do this he

must make a Reflex save (DC 15 +

the attacker’s attack bonus – the

defender’s Dexterity modifier).

Prone: The character is on the ground.

An attacker who is prone has a -4

penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot

use a ranged weapon (except for a

crossbow). A defender who is prone

gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against

ranged attacks, but takes a -4 penalty to

AC against melee attacks. Standing up

If the save fails, the wearer lands

badly on the ground and becomes

Prone , and the opponent’s attack is

an automatic success.

top of the weapon – the wearer gains an immediate

attack of opportunity against his opponent and the

wearer’s critical threat range increased by 1 for

this attack. Once the attack of opportunity resolves,

the wearer lands back on the ground, and the

encounter continues normally.

his initiative rolls (roll this bonus each time an

initiative roll is made).

• Gnome : A gnome wearing this enchanted armor

will feel lighter and more agile. His base land

speed increases by 10 feet.

• Half-Elf : Half-elves are unique as they gain all

the bonuses of the elf and human when wearing

this enchanted armor.

• Half-Orc : A half-orc wearing this enchanted

armor will feel at one with his soul when in

combat. His critical threat range is increased by

1 when making melee attacks. Furthermore, the

critical threat range of all melee attacks made

against him are reduced by 1.

• Halflings : A halfling wearing this enchanted

armor will be able to feel the magics of chaos

and order around him, and can manipulate

them every so slightly. Twice per day (maximum

of once per round), when he would normally be

hit by a melee attack, he can force his attacker

to re-roll the attack.

Blood

This interesting enchanted armor must be made

with at least 1 drop of blood from a humanoid

creature of any kind. The blood will appear on the

armor as a small stain, usually on the inside.

The wearer of the armor will instantly gain a

Darkvision up to 60 feet. Furthermore, the

enchanted armor gives the wearer a special bonus,

depending on the type of humanoid race he is:

• Human : A human wearing this enchanted armor

instantly gains +1 blood bonus to all skill

checks.

• Dwarf : A dwarf wearing this enchanted armor

instantly gains a +1 blood bonus to all Will,

Reflex, and Fortitude saves.

• Elf : An elf wearing this enchanted armor gains

an awareness of his surroundings and an

improved perception. He gains a +1d4 bonus to
