The official Green Ronin’s GM guide to Dragon Age came with a few items; In preparing for my first game, I’ve decided to give the PCs some more items to play with, and have the idea of using existing items from the CRPG instead of coming up with my own. So today I would start with enchanted swords, and slowing move my way down. The list comes from the official Prima’s Strategy Guide, to give credits where it is due.

Also bear in mind that currently there are no rules for runes at all for enchanted items, so they are significantly weaker than they could be in the CRPG. GMs who wish to have a less emphasis on gears may want to keep it this way.

Until Green Ronin comes up with the various steel and metal used to forge weapons in the game, assume the enchanted weapons does base damage as usual. Generious GMs can give damage bonuses based on the material (for example, Iron -1, Grey Iron +0, Steel +1 and so on).

As the PnP system uses a curve instead of a linear system from the CRPG, I halved all stat bonuses by 2, always rounding up (lest some items become useless)
