Materials of the Realms

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Average Rating (11 ratings)

Unique characters often request unique equipment. Be it swords forged from fallen stars, armor crafted from leaves and bark woven by elves, poisons from distant lands or alchemical items for the modern combatant, this book is full of all of these and more.

Visit "The Forge" for a variety of new weapons and armors crafted from materials both mundane and exotic.

Turn to "The Poisoner's Table" for a slew of new and insidious poisons, including some designed entirely for the use against undead.

Next, see "The Gemcutter's Workshop" to learn the hidden properties of many gemstones, including how to make some potion-like items out of them.

Finally, check out "The Alchemists Laboratory" for some new, exotic items for use in and out of combat. 

Also included is an appendix describing where to find these materials in the Forgotten Realms and beyond!

I just put this in my cart and will buy it now but you might want to look up "dearth" from your description text "a dearth of new and insidious poisons".
I don't think it means what you think it means.

It's been corrected in the product description. Hope you like the product!

A steal at this price; do yourself a favour and buy this! Instantly enriches your game by just having much more variety when it comes to materials present in the world.

Could you include a random table for Armor and Weapons to include the new materials? Would be nice to have a random found item to be made from some "strange" material. I am not sure of the rarity of each material.

That's actually a really great idea. I'll whip one up and put it as a separate file (to make it easier to print/use at the table).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
