Magic Weapons

Magic weapons range from a simple enchanted blade to named relics that can define a campaign. Choose the rules edition first, then use that edition’s enhancement, rarity, special-ability and specific-weapon rules without mixing its generation tables with another system.

An enchanted weapon may be a straightforward tool of war, an heirloom, a curse, or the centrepiece of an adventure.

At the Table

D&D 5.5e / 2024

Uses individual magic-item entries, rarity and attunement. Generic magic weapons and ammunition run from +1 to +3.

Pathfinder 1e

Uses +1 to +5 enhancement bonuses, bonus-equivalent special abilities and the familiar +10 effective-price ceiling.

D&D 3.5e

Uses +1 to +5 enhancement bonuses, masterwork bases and minor, medium and major random-generation tables.

Expanded SpiralWorlds play

Unusual weapons, firearms, special materials and cursed weapons are chosen outside the core edition percentile tables.

Game Statistics by Edition

Use one rules panel for the weapon being generated or adjudicated. A weapon converted between editions should be rebuilt using the destination edition’s item rules rather than carrying over its old price, rarity, bonus-equivalent value or random-table result unchanged.

D&D 5.5e / 2024 Pathfinder 1e D&D 3.5e

D&D 5.5e / 2024 Magic Weapons

Core use. In the 2024 rules, a magic weapon is governed by its own item entry. Rarity, attunement and special properties belong to that item; the older minor/medium/major and +10-equivalent construction system is not used.

Generic bonuses. A +1, +2 or +3 magic weapon adds its bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with it. Magic ammunition uses the same +1, +2 or +3 progression.

Attunement. Attunement is required only when the item entry says so. A creature can normally be attuned to no more than three magic items at once.

Pathfinder 1e Magic Weapons

Enhancement bonuses run from +1 to +5 and apply to attack and damage rolls.
Magic weapons are masterwork weapons; the masterwork attack bonus does not stack with the magical enhancement bonus.
A weapon with a special ability must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.
Enhancement bonus plus bonus-equivalent special abilities cannot exceed a +10 modified bonus for pricing.
For a weapon with only an enhancement bonus, caster level is three times the enhancement bonus.
Extra damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit unless a rule specifically says otherwise.
For ranged weapons and ammunition, use only the higher enhancement bonus; the bonuses do not stack.
Ammunition fired from a +1 or better projectile weapon counts as magical for overcoming damage reduction; ammunition also inherits the projectile weapon’s alignment where applicable.
Magic ammunition that hits is destroyed. On a miss, it has a 50% chance to break or become useless.
Thirty percent of randomly generated magic weapons shed magical light unless the specific item says otherwise.
Each +1 enhancement bonus adds +2 hardness and +10 hit points to the weapon.
An activated weapon ability normally uses its stated activation; command-word activation is normally a standard action. Up to 50 pieces of otherwise identical ammunition can be activated together where the rule permits.
When randomly determining composition, 01–95 is the standard material and 96–100 uses a special material appropriate to the weapon.

Pathfinder 1e Special Qualities

For a randomly generated magic weapon, a d% result of 01–30 means the weapon sheds magical light, 31–45 gives a visible clue to its function, and 46–100 gives no additional special quality.

D&D 3.5e Magic Weapons

Enhancement bonuses run from +1 to +5 and apply to attack and damage rolls.
Every magic weapon is masterwork; the masterwork attack bonus does not stack with its enhancement bonus.
A weapon with a special ability must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.
Enhancement bonus plus bonus-equivalent special abilities cannot exceed +10 for pricing.
For a weapon with only an enhancement bonus, caster level is three times the enhancement bonus.
Extra damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit unless a specific rule says otherwise.
A ranged weapon’s enhancement bonus does not stack with its ammunition’s enhancement bonus; use the higher value.
Ammunition fired from a +1 or better projectile weapon counts as magical for overcoming damage reduction; ammunition also inherits the projectile weapon’s alignment where applicable.
Magic ammunition that hits is destroyed. On a miss, it has a 50% chance to break or become useless.
Thirty percent of random magic weapons shed light equivalent to the edition’s light effect unless the item says otherwise.
Each +1 enhancement bonus adds +2 hardness and +10 hit points to the weapon.
If an ability needs a command word, activation is normally a standard action. Up to 50 pieces of otherwise identical ammunition can be activated together where the rule permits.

Special Qualities

For a randomly generated melee weapon, a d% result of 01–30 means the weapon sheds light, 31–45 gives a visible clue to its function, and 46–100 gives no additional special quality. For a ranged weapon, 01–15 gives a clue to its function and 16–100 gives no additional special quality.

Expanded Weapons and Campaign Options

SpiralWorlds contains far more weapon bases and magical variants than any single core random table. Choose unusual equipment from the appropriate catalogue, then apply the rules for the edition you are using. This keeps the core d100 tables usable while still allowing rare, regional and campaign-specific arms.

Weapons

Mundane melee and ranged weapon bases, including uncommon and regional forms.

Firearms

Black-powder and later firearm options for campaigns in which guns exist.

Special Materials

Adamantine, cold iron, alchemical silver and other unusual construction materials.

Cursed Items

Treacherous weapons and other magic items whose drawbacks matter as much as their powers.

Expanded Weapon Properties

These properties belong to the wider SpiralWorlds legacy and campaign catalogue. Choose them deliberately, or place the ones you want on a separate campaign table rather than altering the core edition tables above.

Expanded Specific Weapons

These additional named weapons remain available as individual entries without being forced into the core minor, medium and major percentile bands.

Building a custom random table: if you add a new weapon or property to a d100 table, assign the entire 01–100 range again. Do not insert new entries into occupied percentile bands, because overlapping or missing results change the probabilities and can make the table impossible to roll cleanly.
