The Lost Vaults: 800+ Magic Items from Fourth Edition by Kyle Wagner-Totty (@MrBakudan)
This is a super quick and dirty review with the intention to come back and give this tome of absolute wonders the time it most definitely deserves, but I just couldn’t not say something about all this awesomeness!
In the spirit of full disclosure, I was provided a review copy of this supplement for a full and honest review. Review is honest, the fullness will come later!
I Am. Absolutely. Blown. Away!
There are many, many compendiums of magical items out there, some are flavourful fancies and others are piles of weapons or armour, but this is a vault over 800 greatly varied magic items, bringing many, many many things from fourth edition into 5e and giving DMs so much more to put into player’s hands they may well have even known were conceivable, as well as bringing back delights for fourth edition veterans!
This includes a broad range of magical marvels, from a cornucopia of consumables, alchemical formulas and enchanted whetstones to a battalion of battle standards and reagents, only covered minimally, often not at all in the current core manuals. On top of this there’s an enchanted supermarket of items for every slot, type, preference and persuasion!
The work that has gone into this is freaking incredible! I cannot believe this is Wagner-Totty’s first project and I am ridiculously excited to see their future projects!
It’s seriously impressive endeavour with a great conceit of the vault and the occasional insights from the Scribe. It looks great and is set to bring about a lot of fun for DMs and players no matter their experience!
I absolutely take my hat off to Wagner-Totty and feel someway humble about mine isn't magical! I need a magical hat! I need a Circlet of Second Chances! Although Coif of Focus would really help me to be honest.
