Sentient Magic Items
Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:42 pm
So...intelligent magic items.
I've only just recently started looking at D&D 4e again. I dallied a bit when it came out, decided it wasn't for me, and didn't look back. But now I am trying my hand at writing some material for gaming publications, and I have run into a couple of snafus. While most of them can be resolved by, gasp, reading the rules (something I have no problem doing...) I have been unable to get my mind around this particular one.
Do intelligent magic items exist in 4e, or is that just the purview of artifacts? I've gone through the 4e PHB and DMG again, and the only thing I can find about sentient magic items is in the artifact section. Is that option no longer an option for non-artifact magical items? Is it detailed in a different book? (And if so, which one?) Or have I merely overlooked the appropriate section?
Thanks for any help I can get.
