If you’d like to randomize rewards for players, you can use the following treasure tables. These lists do not contain every item on this site, but they do contain many of of them. Treasures are split into Minor (0-1,000 gp), Medium (1,001-10,000 gp), Major (10,001-40,000 gp), Superior (40,001-79,999 gp), Grand (80,000+ gp), and Artifact lists. Items on these tables include their item type in parentheses to make the chapter they are contained in easier to find. Superior and Grand items are not sold in most settlements, but may be found in shops located in special or unique locations like planar trading hubs or in the wealthiest cities in a given world.

Potions/Compounds have some additional treasure tables, located below.

Potion Treasure Tables

Generally speaking, potions as consumables begin to see less use as players advance beyond lower levels because they are limited by what spells they can contain. Compounds on the other hand are more like scrolls in that they do not possess this limitation, for this reason the table below have compounds generated not by classification (minor, medium, or major), but by adventure tier (Tier 1: levels 1-4, Tier 2: levels 5-8, Tier 3: levels 9-12, Tier 4: levels 13-16, Tier 5: 17-20).

Tier 517-202-51,700 gp - 5000 gp

Compounds as Treasure

Generally, when generating treasure, GMs roll to determine how many minor, medium, and major magical items are available, and then roll to determine whether those magical items are armor, shields, weapons, potions, etc. The table below helps maintain that streamlined magical item generation, keeping true to the spirit of traditional classification of minor, medium, and major magical items.

There are however reasons for why a GM may elect to not generate potions using traditional methods. Such reasons may include the following:

  • Players come across random potions in their exploration, with no direction as to the classification of said items.
  • GMs need to quickly generate a potion to give to a player, enemy, or NPC.
  • The adventure is set in a world where magical potions are more prevalent, or the party lacks characters who can reliably use captured spells (scrolls) or spell engines (wands).

In such instances, GMs may elect to simply roll on an individual compound tier table that matches the tier of the adventure, instead of generating the treasure with traditional methods.
