Common (DC 15) Items

Searching for a common magic item (DC 15) only costs 25 GP and 1 DTD + lifestyle.  Every additional DTD or 25 GP, may accumulate a bonus up to +10 (including lifestyle bonus.)

• • You may buy up to 5 of those items per search, but only one price variance needs to be rolled for the item(s) price.
    • Each item will get a complication roll if purchased. This does not apply to items found on the additional magic item tables. 
  • If the complication roll is rolled prior, the item must be bought.

Higher DC Items

For the listed rarities above, this activity costs 5 DTD & 100 GP + lifestyle. Every additional 5 downtime days or 100 GP, may accumulate a bonus up to +10 (including lifestyle bonus.)

• • Only a single item may be purchased (excluding those found on the additional magic item tables.)
  • Once price variation has been rolled, a following 10% complication roll will be made, should the item be purchased.
  • If the complication roll is rolled prior, the item must be bought.

For items such as armor and weapons, add the cost of the mundane item to the base cost to arrive at the modified base cost before price variation.

• • Example: Shortsword, +1: 10 GP mundane + 1,210 GP uncommon rarity = 1,220 GP.
