Books & Things

The purpose of this thread is to provide links to things to make module building easier and/or add flavour to a module with little or no additional scripting. It is based on a thread I had on the old BSN forums, but the old links have been replaced with ones that now point to locations on this site. Feel free to add suggestions of your own as long as they are not for custom content (e.g. models, tilesets etc.). The majority of the stuff in this thread are either for prefab items or script systems. If you have a script system you would like included please try to ensure that they involve little or no additional scripting in order to make use if them.

In order to enable easy maintenance of these lists I use 2 additional posts for the actual lists.

I have plans to add spellbooks as loot that when used will be destroyed and generate random scrolls in the users inventory. The levels and amounts of the scrolls would be based on a tiered loot system and would never have more than 100 total spell levels (the cap in D&D. A spellbook only has 100 pages and a spell takes up a page per spell level. High level casters need multiple ones.)

I also know a book exists in real life titled “Steal this book” which is definitely going to be the name of some kind of holy book of the god of thieves or chaos or whatever.

More than anything though I would add a general suggestion of writing books that reflect that setting for which you’re building; a book about the wall of the faithless is pointless outside of FR, for example.

Nice thread idea, thanks TR

Changed the link to “1600+ Module Items by Sharon Tipton” so it now points to the fixed by Shadooow version.
