OD&D Sword table

Janrith

I run a predominately 1st edition DnD game and there seems to be a lethargy of computerized tools available to generate decent swords w/ checks for intelligence and powers etc, so I decided to try my hand at making one.

This is based on the 1st ED DMG swords table. It took me a few hours to whip this up; I'll be working to add the 1st ED UA blades into it as well. I currently don't have the Languages, Ego or Personality Strength, the deck references seem to occasionally spit out matching powers and I haven't figured out how to allow for power selection on the fly, but it's getting late and I have to be up in the AM.

Anyway here they are. If you think you can use them, please feel free!

First the Swords.ipt file:

Amazing what happens after getting some sleep... I've made some changes streamlining the variable usage and also can pass a parameter down to ensure the alignnent of the blade is restricted to what is allowed for the blade type (Holy Avenger for example is only LG).

I have a few more features to put in and I'll post an update.

Janrith, take a look at the NBOS downloads page. I made a DMG&UA magic items program that should (if I did not miss anything) roll EVERYTHING from bag size through complete artifact including special abilities for swords (even sword size and type)....let me know what you think. http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=684 oh and also mundane items too http://www.nbos.com/nox/index.php?action=1001&id=683
