Book Description

December 1996 Rolemaster Companion
The wounded man knelt beside the gilded chest. He knew that inside was all that he had been fighting for: the wealth of kings...

You can now determine how many gemstones are set into that bejeweled cup; or what the King will think of the magical saddle that you have found. Inside this book are full discussions on the nature of wealth in a fantasy role playing game. Also, the long awaited Alchemist profession, is now added to the Rolemaster Standard System.

In Treasure Companion you get:
-- A discussion of the concepts and premises behind treasure, wealth and the effects they have in a GM's game world.
-- Guidelines on how to mesh the rules for alchemy presented in this book into the Rolemaster Standard System, buying and selling magical items, and ways to customize the treasure generation tables.
-- Three new Alchemist professions.
-- 22 Alchemist spell lists (including 4 General Alchemy Base Lists, and 3 Divine Alchemy Lists).
-- Complete tables for generating all types of treasure (including a detailed system for generating gemstones and jewelry). All magic items generated from the tables can be created using the spells presented in this book.
-- Complete item descriptions for over a hundred unique magic items.

Get Real, Get Rolemaster!

3.0 out of 5 stars a good system for magic item creation, December 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Treasure Companion (Rolemaster Companion) (Paperback)
This is a rolemaster system role-playing game supplement focusing on treasure and magic item creation. It includes magic item creating spell lists for mages, priests and mentalists (psionicists). It contains a great section on the effects of magic on economies and how this impacts a roleplaying setting realisitically.

All the magic items in the book can be created using the spells in the book and it includes a system for rating the power of the items in levels.

It also includes non magical treasures such as gems (with tons of charts and descriptions) and supernatural materials from the well known mithril and adamant to the not so well known laen, eyog and black alloy.

Unfortunately the proofreading was very poor on this book.

Similar to a GURPS supplement, this is well thought out, useful for behind the scenes use in running a role playing game providing ideas on how to make the background rolepalying world make sense and have some flavor. It is easily adaptable to most game systems including D&D, GURPS and of course Rolemaster or MERP.
