Esquiel's Guide to Magic Weapons

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Esquiel's Guide to Magic Weapons presents over 120 new magic weapons for your 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons adventures and campaigns, providing a fun sourcebook for DMs and players alike (and giving you a serious boost to the 30 or so published in the Dungeon Masters Guide!).

The guide contains:

  • 120 new magic weapons. With at least one new magic weapon for every weapon type listed in the Player's Handbook. Whether your PC fights with a classic battleaxe or longsword, or a more adventurous halberd, war pick or whip, there's an original magic weapon here for you.
  • 20 new sets of magic armour. At least one new set of magic armour for every armour type listed in the Player's Handbook, from padded to plate.
  • Balanced weapons. The guide was checked by three more DMs for potential balance issues.
  • Familiar mechanics. Ninety percent of the weapons are built using existing 5e mechanics.
  • Specialist class-based weapons. Several weapons (and armour) were designed with specific classes in mind, creating the perfect complement to classes like paladins, rangers, barbarians, and every type of rogue (including swashbuckler).
  • Pop-culture weapons. Mechanics are provided for several popular weapons from pop culture (such as Bobby the Barbarian's club, Hank the Ranger's bow, Wolverine's claws and Xena's chakram).
  • The DM's Magic Weapon Generator Table (author's favourite feature!). Generate near infinite combinations of low to mid-tier magic weapons with this table that features all weapon types, and scores of mix and match minor to medium-power properties.
  • Treasure tables. Tables of magic weapons sorted by rarity (which include both weapons from Esquiel's Guide and the DMG).
  • Superior weapons. Rules for superior non magical weapons, including costs and craft times. Ditto superior armour.
  • Lore. The eponymous military historian Esquiel Fairhand, half-elven, provides some lore and legends around many of the weapons.
  • Puns. Some irreverent comments by Esquiel's halfling servant, Buckbee Brandipot, have found their way onto these pages.
  • Art. Original cover art commission (featuring the medusa flail), and lots of cool stock art inside.

Hello, I was wondering if this comes with suggested prices for each magic item. Thank you.

Not finding the club or the bow - Pop-culture weapons. Mechanics are provided for several popular weapons from pop culture (such as Bobby the Barbarian's club, Hank the Ranger's bow, Wolverine's claws and Xena's chakram).

Scratch that. I thought they'd be listed in the same section as the other two.

Hi,
So I don't have to painfully go through the two pdfs, did you change anything between them, and which is the more updated one?

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.
