About the book:
With over 200 pages of new content for 5E, Peculiar Discoveries brings 320+ new items and companions designed to bring fun and joy directly to your table. This supplement focuses on creativity and quality content for both players and GMs to enjoy. Enrich your story and background with strange pets and hundreds of fantastical new magic items to discover.
Companions are a huge part of our project. We have created two special decks for them, one for classic companions, one for awakened items.
Each small companion has minor powers and offers benefits to the party, adding a touch of fantasy and poetry to your stories. They can follow players during their adventures, become colorful NPCs, and much more. Each comes with their own unique quest and will give a bonus to players, but only if they help their new little friend.
All of these items come in a wide range of rarity and powers from common to legendary to suit every parties’ level, from level 1 to level 20. When the time comes to get the loot, you can choose specific items or let the players pick one randomly. Let fate guide your players to find the most prestigious treasures!
We have also implemented a system of item sets which unlock their true power once all parts of the set have been collected.
