I’ve received a number of asks for this, so I’m proud to announce that the Random Treasure Generator (updated with UE) I’ve been promising for so long is finally live. So far I’ve included five different types of generation, but more can be pretty easily added as the needs arise.

All areas use Ultimate Equipment for the various available treasures. Otherwise...

City Treasure: Uses the Core Rulebook/Gamemastery Guide rules for what magic items are available in the various sized communities.
Encounter Treasure: Uses the Ultimate Equipment’s various "Type" tables for generating appropriate treasure based on CR.
Kingdom Treasure: For Kingmaker, produces a number of Minor/Medium/Major items, using the Core Rulebook’s percentages for types.
Treasure by Type: Input the exact quantity of each item you want, and out it comes.
Treasure by Value: Input a GP budget for each area (Minor/Medium/Major) and get some random items. Uses the Core Rulebook’s percentages for types.

As a plus, the value of everything is displayed with the item, along with other miscellaneous information (does the weapon glow?). I am still missing a few other bits that could go in, which I would like to address later. There is a percentage chance that a weapon/armor could be made of a special material, which right now doesn’t happen (with the exception of specific items in the Specific Weapon/Armor tables, like mithril shirt). Additionally, while the tool will let you know if an item should be Intelligent, it won’t do any other leg work. I couldn’t find a decent table to fully generate an Intelligent item (the ones in the Core book and UE do have some random tables, but not for everything, like statistics). Of course, I may have just been blind and missed some obvious bits for it. In any event, that part will be in later.

Otherwise, all items/spells/etc. should be fully hyperlinked to their respective entries in the Archives. If something isn’t linking properly or otherwise broken, please let me know! This is definitely one of the larger projects I’ve worked on, and while I have done a lot of testing there is always something one person can miss.

If you have any comments, problems, or suggestions, please send me an e-mail or leave feedback at the Paizo thread, the Reddit thread, or my Facebook page.

Enjoy!

If you ever used my Random Item Generator and lost it, or never did but would like to try it, then good news for you! I’ve re-uploaded it to my site and it can be found here. Please note that while this should work on most Windows systems, I am unsure on how well it would work with a Mac setup (if at all). I *am* working on a new generator that will utilize the Ultimate Equipment tables though, and be available on this site as a web-based application. So... look forward to that! ;)

Updates! Pathfinder #69: Maiden, Mother, Crone and Champions of Purity have both been added to the Archives. CoP in particular has quite the wide variety of new material, including the first new set of Arcane Discoveries since they were created. The new feat "Virtuous Creed" now allows your character to follow a specific creed in order to gain some bonuses, and another feat "Summon Good Monster" will make good summoners rejoice and make the GMs of those characters cry.

Also, though I announced it already on my Facebook page, I am officially done with Ultimate Equipment. Huzzah!

The website has been given a much needed facelift, thanks to my friends over at Forte Web! I'm still playing with a few formatting things here and there, but overall am very happy with how Forte designed the new layout.
