Character Heirlooms

This sheet can be used in a number of ways: primarily you can use it to generate a backstory for your new D&D character, including an exciting heirloom item. Your DM and you can use this item as you see fit, from having it as a MacGuffin that you only use to explain your tortured past to the weapon that you use every day and that grows with you, driving your story.

1. Origin // 2. Type

What are its origins? Pick a provenance or roll for it if you feel adventurous! Then pick what kind of item your item is.

1	It's been in the family for centuries.	1	A weapon
2	It's a gift from your childhood mentor.	2	A piece of jewelry
3	It seemed to find you instead of the other way around, and at just the right time.	3	A piece of clothing
4	You made it yourself after a years-long and painstaking process.	4	A beautiful ornament
5	It's a souvenir, a reminder of an arduous journey.	5	A book
6	You've tried everything, but you can't seem to get rid of it ...	6	A locked box

3. Power

Next roll a d4 to select a table or pick one you like (1 = table 3.1 et cetera). Then roll a d20 or d6 or again, pick the power you want and see what power your item has!

Try to tie the origins, type and powers together with your background for a cool start to your adventure!
