What is wrong with your magic item?

 

Want to add some negative effects to your magic items that aren’t as powerful as full blown curses? When an item is discovered by the party, there is a 20% chance that the item is damaged. If damaged roll on the table below to determine the effect. Alternatively if the item is damaged during gameplay you can roll of the table. 

Damaged magic items can be fixed, the players might do a favour on behalf of a local wizard who will fix it in return. A second option they have is to retrieve certain magical ingredients to allow the item to be fixed and pay 30% of the items worth in gold.
