Introduction

Welcome to the Mother of

All Treasure Tables!

We have gone to the farthest corners of the known

world to gather together wondrous treasures to tanta-

lize the imagination and boggle the mind. (“How in

the world am I going to get that in my saddlebag?”)

This is quite possibly going to become one of the most

useful game master tools you have ever purchased. We

congratulate you on your obvious great wisdom and

excellent taste.

Picture this. You have just set up a great encounter

you know your players will love. It will be a challenge

for the heroes. Someone may even die, but the

rewards will be worth it, right? Oh, yeah, the rewards;

there should be some sort of treasure as unique and

interesting as the rest of the incident. Well, here is a

sack of gold, a few gems, maybe a masterwork sword.

Hmmm, just more of the same stuff they got last time.

Maybe a really big gem? Somehow, it just does not

meet the same standard. If you are looking for some-

thing more than just a list of gold pieces and gems

your characters can add to their ledger of money, then

you have come to the right place! To make compara-

ble treasures you could spend hours working on the

details (we know, because we did), or you could turn

to the Mother of All Treasure Tables! Finally you

have treasures worthy of the great adventures you

have created and all are just a die roll away.

though. Not every treasure will fit every circum-

stance, and some have unusual aspects which may not

work in every situation. Skim through the selections

before you start reading them to your players, to be

sure you know exactly what you are giving away!

3) Inspiration—A third way to use the book would

be for inspiration. Why does the tiny doll have a

secret pocket sewn into her stomach? What happened

to the owner of that bridal dress? How did that car-

riage end up here? If you already know what the

heroes will be fighting, take a look at a treasure and

ask yourself: If these creatures have accumulated this

treasure, where did it come from? Read through some

treasures, (especially ones with larger value,) and let

them inspire you with ideas for adventures. Some of

the treasures can lead to entire story lines. For

instance, the adventurers are trying to sell a box with

a special crest on it. Little do they know that Duke

Lostandpresumedead owned that box and now the

authorities believe the characters are responsible for

his disappearance. Perhaps the heroes want to return

a treasure they recovered. (Hey, it is possible – though

maybe not likely. The paladin does not need it any-

way, right?) The treasures you find here could inspire

stories, points of history, or possible interests or moti-

vations for NPCs who will interact with the heroes.

What This Book is Not

Now let us mention some of the things this book is

not. Since we had limited space we had to narrow our

options, therefore no magic items are included. (In

fact, these treasures would be perfect for a low-magic

world; they are full of things which do not need magic

to make them interesting and useful.) It should be rel-

atively easy to add magic items using the base treas-

ures as a guide; there is further explanation on this

below. Alternatively, you could take masterwork items

in the treasure, add some magical bonus to them and

use the descriptions we have provided. There are a

goodly number of masterwork items included in the

treasure and they would also make fine items for the

players to enchant, if they were looking to make their

own magic items.

Another thing this book will not do for you is tell

you how much treasure to give. It is defined by the

treasure tables in the DMG and there you will find

guidance as to how much treasure to give based upon

the challenge level of the encounter which your char-

acters have experienced. It is probably one of the best

ways to decide how much treasure you should give

from this book. However, the actual amounts are

always up to you.

This book will not tell you whether specific items of

treasure are appropriate for a particular encounter or

Ways to Use This Book

This book could be used in several different ways. 1)

You can use it to pre-plan the treasure so you know

exactly what the characters are going to find before

their swords even leave their scabbards; or, 2) you can

use it to flesh out random encounters during play–the

monster is dead, and now it is time for the treasure–

“What did these things have anyway?”; and 3) you

can use this book as an inspiration for adventure.

l) Pre-planning—This may be the best way to use

this resource. It speeds the pre-game preparation by

giving you a myriad of treasure possibilities at your fin-

gertips. When you plan an encounter and some type

of treasure is called for, you can then turn here to

develop it. Anything from a pocketful of odds and

ends to a cavern full of treasure is not only possible,

but readily available and prepared in advance for your

use.

2) On the Fly—This resource also works well to

flesh out treasures ‘on-the-fly’ during a game. The

monster is dead, the puzzle solved, and now it is time

for the reward; roll a few dice and just read the

descriptions. A little caution would be in order,

INTRODUCTION

for your individual campaign world. You have to make

that decision, and as the GM you are free at any time

to remove or revise any item. If a treasure includes

something you think is not workable in your world,

feel free to tweak it so it fits or to replace it with the

equivalent value in coins. (We recommend replacing

a troublesome item rather than just removing it, to

keep the overall value of the treasure the same.)

However, just because an item is unusual, do not auto-

matically assume it could not be found in your cam-

paign. Remember, jade statues from the Far East have

been found even in the Scandinavian burial sites of

the Vikings. Valuable items have a tendency to find

their way across the world.

Treasures can be selected either by the GM rolling

randomly on the tables or by reading through and

selecting the treasures to use. To roll results randomly

on the tables of the Mother of All Treasures Tables

you will need percentile dice (d%), a twenty-sided die

(d20), and a ten-sided die (d10). Most of the tables

have 100 entries and so require the d%, but the larg-

er treasures toward the end are not used as often so

they have a smaller number of entries and so may call

for a d20 or d10. (To roll percentile dice, or hundred-

sided dice, use two ten-sided dice of different colors.

Designate one color as the tens digit and one color as

the ones digit, roll the dice and read them in the prop-

er order. Some ten-sided dice are numbered 00-90,

specifically to be used to supply the tens digit in a 1 to

100 roll. A roll of all zeros – ‘0, 0’ or ‘00, 0’ – is read

as 100.)

As we mentioned above, first determine how much

treasure you need to provide to keep your players from

rebelling and storming the GM’s house with torches

and pitchforks. Once you have decided on the

amount, select something from the tables or roll for

appropriate treasures.

Making Changes

There may be specific circumstances where the

treasure described may not seem to fit the encounter.

In that case, the items could be replaced or the

description could be changed to reflect the circum-

stances. For instance, if there were fine silk hangings

in the treasure description and the treasure was in a

goblin lair, the hangings could still be there but they

could be described as very dirty and in need of clean-

ing. If you really want to get creative and you pick the

treasures in advance, you could embellish the situa-

tion even more. ‘Fine silk hangings have been gath-

ered around what looks like the chief’s seat and it is

being used as a make-shift throne.’ Weapons listed in

the treasure could be used by the monsters who are

fighting. “Hey, Thorvald, this goblin has a masterwork

sword with a gold hilt and jeweled scabbard.” “Really?

How do you know?” “He is swinging it at me!” “Oh,

they are SOOOO dead! Let’s kill them and see what

else they have!”

Determining Treasure Value

To decide how much treasure to use for a given

encounter, refer to the table of Treasure Values per

Encounter. This lists the average amount of treasure

recommended for each encounter level. (This list can

also be found in the DMG, Chapter 3.)

Cross-reference the level of the treasure on the left

with the average value of the treasure. The level of

the treasure is equal to the Challenge Rating (CR) of

the monster in the encounter, or the Encounter Level

if more than one monster in involved.

How to Use this Book

There are ten tables in this book, arranged by the

value of the treasures therein. As you can see, the

higher the table number in the Mother of All

Treasure Tables, the higher the value of the total

treasure. Also, in general, the higher the number of

the table, the higher the value of specific items in the

treasure.
