Tables for unusual items

Here's a set of table to help a DM craft a  the occasional odd or rare item for a campaign.

These tables are a broader take on my old ones used for scribing scrolls where the odd materials and substances were meant for components in inks for magical scrolls.Having to find 3 measures of Distilled Akashic Ichor might be prone to create more fantastic adventures than the simple need of 300 gp when scribing a scroll or brewing a potion.

Pick or select from Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 for a quick but unusual item.
