Magic items - consumables

[capelastegui]

First draft of consumable magic items.

Basic rules:

• Can typically be used with a Minor Action
• Limited to 1/encounter. With DM's approval, a character can use additional consumables by spending 1 Stamina.
• Crafting: Common consumables can be crafted by spending their base cost in Gold. Uncommon consumables can be crafted with DM approval - this will usually require a short quest for reagents, and can only be done a limited number of times.
• Charged consumables: Some items hold multiple consumable charges.

Consumable properties:

• Level: Can be level 1,6,11,16,21,26,30
• Rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare

Consumable cost is derived from its Level+Rarity (to be determined)

Design principles - not all consumables need to scale with level. We can keep them in the tables, and gain x2 charges per tier:

Example

Potion of Invisibility - Uncommon

• L6: You become Invisible until end of next turn. If you receive any damage, roll a save - the effect ends on a failed save. Sustain Standard: The effect persists.
