There are tables in the back of the book as the GM Core. It looks to me like most of it is consumables with a few Magic items sprinkled in. Not sure the exact number…

Thank you as well.

A bit over 300 items total including a large number of alchemical item along with some snares and and a smattering of permeant items (Guessing 50ish without going through and counting).

Looking at the table of contents page numbers suggests

4 pages of Weapons & Materials
3 pages of Armor & Armaments
16 pages of Alchemy
4 pages of Snares
6 pages of Momentary Magic
5 pages of Trappings of Power

Thank much, I appreciate it.


I read in the description of the Player Core 2 Remastered book that it will contain magic items. Does anyone know if these items appear on tables like they do in the GM Core book or are they simply descriptions of items often used by the classes therein? Approximately how many items are there?


I read in the product description that the Player Core 2 Remastered book has magic items in it. Do these magic items appear on treasure tables as presented in the remastered GM core book or are they simply item descriptions without appearing on a treasure table? Approximately how many items are there in the book?


I was putting together a random table for currency generation. I did not understand the intent behind the way the price listings were. It felt odd having to convert the silver into gold, if the value was high enough, for example, 1d4x5 = 5-20 sp, (20 sp = 2 gold).

Why not just write it so that it remains just silver or only gold for the entry? For example, 1d8 sp remains only silver, an entry of 1d4x5 gp is only gold. Seems odd that we need to convert it to silver to gold when you reach the upper limits of the gem range on the first two gem tables while the lower limits remain in silver.

As written in the GM Core, it seemed like they could have meant you find 1d4 gems worth 5 sp each. So this was the reason for my inquiry.

To answer the question directly, I'm reading the table as listing that rolled value as the price for each gem. So, the first math option you listed - an agate would be 1d4x5 silver that comes out between 5sp and 20sp.

More generally, gems and art objects are an equivalent of money. The GM can just set an appropriate price and quantity of the gems found to match the loot and treasure needed.

Thank you Finoan.

Does anyone else have an opinion they want to share? How do you interpret this?


I have a question regarding the Second Edition (Remastered) gem and art object tables on pages 298-299 of the GM Core rulebook.

Under price it lists a variable number (always 1d4) and then a sp or gp value. Is 1d4 the number of gems and art objects found or do you multiply the sp or gp amount by 1d4?

For example, is an agate entry of lesser semiprecious stones worth 1d4 x 5 silver for a total of 5-20 sp. Or is it 1d4 agate gems are found each valued at 5 silver pieces?
