Tome Of Fogotten Magical Items Volume 1
The
Tome Of Forgotten Magical Items
Volume I
(Weapons & Armor)
"eBook"


Feel the Power!
Control the magic!
If your dare....


Volume One of The Tome contains over 1000 magic items. It is perhaps the largest universal reference ever created specifically dealing with weapons and armor. Items are new, unusual and original. Most will not be found in books produced by other companies. Hence the name: The Tome of "Forgotten" Magical Items. A must have reference for any serious Fantasy Role-Playing Gamer.

If your universe is populated with incredible heroes wielding mighty magical items, fighting monsters too horrible to mention. This book will provide your heroes with weapons of true power. Weapons that can unlock a hero's inner strength. Weapons of name, such as these: Wizards Bane, Heart Cleaver and Ogres Plague! Items of such power that just their acquisition or destruction can lead to a multitude of glorious quests, providing hours of fun and adventure!

If your universe reserves a special place for magic that keeps it very rare, unique and subtle, where even a +1 weapon is too powerful an item. This book will provide you with special items that may benefit a hero, and help customize a character's persona. Enchanted items, such as these: The Invisible Helm, the Shield of Light and the Lance of Challenge! Items which are useful and unique, but will not give a hero an unfair advantage over his or her world.

The "Tome of Forgotten Magical Items" is a self-contained fantasy role-playing Magical item reference book. It is compatible with virtually all fantasy role-playing game systems.
