As many of you are aware, Enkwell Press is no longer in the D20 business. However, through the persistence

of the ever-industrious Bret Boyd, we are happy to see one of our “lost” premier products see the light of day!

We all felt that we owed it to the many fans who contributed to this product to keep trying to see this book

published, yet it was Bret that truly headed that charge. I, and each of you reading this book, have him to thank

for that each and every time you use this wonderful tome.

I would like to thank all of the fans (whose names were sadly lost in an email crash) who participated in the

Enkwell Treasure Hoards Contest. e winners received their prizes, but it is truly all who read this book that

have unearthed the true treasure that resulted from your hard work and stellar creativity! I cannot thank each

of you enough for submitting your entries - thank you, thank you, thank you! I would also like to thank Jesse

Mohn, who was instrumental in the initial judging, editing, and conceptual work on this project.

ank you so much, Jesse, and feel free to call anytime!

Lastly, I would like to thank Neal at Dark Quest Games: thanks for dealing with all of my strange idiosyncrasies,

thanks for taking a chance with this product, and thanks for doing all the work that I did not have time to

do!

Enkwell Press is no more, yet my creative bug cannot be suppressed!

If you’d like to see what ol’ Ashy is up to, head on over to my latest creative endeavor at

I promise, you’ll not be disappointed!

Treasure. is word is one of the most recognized

amongst adventurers. Besides gaining the

experience to hone a character’s chosen career path,

that individual requires appropriate treasures to

complement his expanding powers. Exactly what

treasure a GM can give to his players is part of what

Hoards is all about. In this book are all new items

never before seen in the d20 publishing community.

Each comes complete with a background and full

statistics for immediate use. Every category of

treasure receives some type of notice—coins, gems,

art objects, mundane items, and, of course, magic

items. Each treasure’s background information

comes complete with what skill check or Bardic

Knowledge roll is needed for a character to know

something about it.

ere’s a lot to explore in this book, so take a deep

breath and let Hoards jumpstart your imagination!

is ﬁ rst section lays out the treasures in Hoards as

a GM would ﬁ nd them in the DMG.

Using the Treasure Table

Cross-reference the level of the treasure on the left

with the type of treasure. e level of the treasure is

equal to the CR of the monsters in the encounter.

A standard treasure (one that includes coins, goods,

and items) requires three rolls, one for each category.

Hoards features four new types of coins that might

be found in a treasure hoard. To determine if they

are discovered, roll a d6. ere is a 1 in 6 chance

for the coins to be rolled on the next table, Table

2: “Treasure: Coins”. Diﬀ erent kinds of goods and

items are described in their own sections below.

However, this book is more than a repository

of random treasures. Sample hoards for every

Encounter Level are provided. For ultimate

customization, the gold piece values for the items

within each sample hoard are provided. e GM

need only swap out the desired amount to include

a treasure more appropriate to the encounter or to

his campaign in general. By swapping like amounts,

the balance of the hoards is maintained. Beyond the

sample hoards are themed hoards. Need a hoard

for a necromancer’s lair? How about treasure for

a bugbear’s den? We’ve got you covered! emed

hoards attempt to leave no terrain untouched in

the world of treasure. If the speciﬁ c EL of a hoard

does not match the GM’s needs, simply refer to the

Treasure Values per Encounter table (Table 10) and

modify the amount of treasure to match the desired

EL’s value.

COPPER INGOTS: is metal looks to have been

crudely shaped, each one roughly rectangular and

marked with the symbol of a ten-pointed star. Most

have a green sheen to them where they have been

oxidizing in the damp environment, even though it

seems that they have been cleaned fairly recently.

It is noted that while ingots are not coins, they are

considered currency for the purposes of this book.

Value: 10 gp each ( e GM may wish to up the ante

per ingot given the historical designation on each

one. Consult the Antique Item Generator when

selling these ingots to sages and other folk interested

in the lost civilization.)

Weight: 3 lb. each

Background [Knowledge (history) 24]: ese

ingots were made from copper deposits within the

swamps that were harvested several centuries ago by

an outside civilization that extended its inﬂ uence

across the wetlands for a while. e ten-pointed star

is a trading mark used by that civilization, though

long out of general use by now.

Readers will note the appearance of sidebars with

given items. ese discuss logical variants for a

treasure and even plot hooks or adventure ideas for

GM’s to use. For more random fun, the Appearance

Anomalies table (Table 11), changes or adds a feature

to an existing item. While the function and value

of the item does not change, it may certainly give

characters pause when a newly-discovered sword

has a purple blade or is pulsing with blue veins! e

ﬁ nal section of Hoards features the Antique Item

Generator. e GM can use the items in this book,

choose another at random, or roll from the given
