So how do I do it? I made up some charts that I have been using after playing around with various methods.
First, determine how many items you want, or just roll a die to figure out how much you want.
d6 - type of treasure
1-4. Equipment
5. Rituals
6. Alchemy
d20 - type of equipment
1. Armor
2. Weapons
3. Augments
4. Implements
5. Reagents
6. Arm Slot
7. Feet Slot
8. Hand Slot
9. Head Slot
10. Rings
11. Waist Slot
12. Wonderous Items
13. Item Sets
14. Mount Slot
15. Familiar Slot
16. Companion Slot
17. Alchemical Items
18. Consumables
19. Intelligent Items (If you don't want to use these as random treasure, re-roll here instead)
20. Artifacts (If you don't want to use these as random treasure, re-roll here instead)
Level of Item
For players level 1-8 roll a d8 (1-8 level items)
For players level 9-18 roll a d12 (8-19 level items)
For players level 19-30 roll a d12 (19-30 level items)
You can obviously increase this if you wish, but it's a decent guideline based on levels.
Ok, you have determined the item type and the item level. That makes it pretty easy to narrow down choices now. For some things, less so though!
d6 -Armor type
1. Cloth
2. Leather
3. Hide
4. Chain
5. Scale
6. Plate
For armor, you can then determine subtypes if you want, githweave, finemail, warplate whatever if you want to, but the stuff is leveled, so you should feel comfortable subbing that in based on levels if you want. If the item type can match a level of that object (finemail at level 6 for example) roll a d6, 1-5 is normal, 6 is the special type.
d6 - Weapon Quality
1-2. Simple
3-5. Military
6. Superior
Superior Quality Weapons
1. Bastard Sword
2. Blowgun
3. Bola
4. Craghammer
5. Cutting Wheel
6. Double Axe
7. Double Flail
8. Double Scimitar
9. Double Sword
10. Drow Long Knife
11. Execution Axe
12. Fullblade
13. Garrote
14. Greatbow
15. Greatspear
16. Katar
17. Kukri
18. Mordenkrad
19. Net
20. Parrying Dagger
21. Shuriken
22. Spiked Chain
23. Spiked Shield
24. Superior Crossbow
25. Talenta Boomerang
26. Talenta Sharrash
27. Talenta Tangat
28. Tratnyr
29. Triple Headed Flail
30. Urgosh
31. Waraxe
32. Whip
33. Xen'drik Boomerang
34. Zulaat
35. Rapier
36. Reroll
That's a lot of superior weapons. The easiest way to do it is to break them into groups of six. 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-30, 31-36. Roll a d6 to determine what group you get, and then roll another d6 to determine weapon type.
Simple Weapons
1. Club
2. Crossbow
3. Dagger
4. Greatclub
5. Hand Crossbow
6. Javelin
7. Mace
8. Morningstar
9. Quarterstaff
10. Repeating Crossbow
11. Scythe
12. Sickle
13. Sling
14. Spear
15. Spiked Gauntlet
Still a lot, but not as many. Break them into groups of 5 and roll a d6 with group 1 (1-5) being 1-2, group 2 (6-10) being 3-4, and group 3 (11-15) being 5-6. Then roll a d6, rerolling any 6 you roll.
Military Weapons
1. Battle Axe
2. Battlefist
3. Broadsword
4. Falchion
5. Flail
6. Glaive
7. Greataxe
8. Greatsword
9. Halberd
10. Handaxe
11. Heavy Flail
12. Heavy War Pick
13. Khopesh
14. Light War Pick
15. Longbow
16. Longspear
17. Longsword
18. Scimitar
19. Scourge
20. Short Sword
21. Shortbow
22. Throwing Hammer
23. Trident
24. War Pick
25. War Hammer
Again, we have a multiple of five. Easy enough. Once again use a d6 to determine the item groups. If you roll a 6, just reroll. Group 1 is 1-5, group 2 is 6-10, group 3 is 11-15, group 4 is 16-20 and group 5 is 21-25.
Ok, so now you have your basic weapon types and your level ranges for items. I am going to do a huge thing here and list the effects as well, by level and weapon type.
