Loot the Body – Deep Carbon Observatory loot table

A D30 loot table for Deep Carbon Observatory.

I needed some cool magic items when I ran Deep Carbon Observatory to spice things up a bit and I had a player with a brand new D30 – so I made a list of 30 minor magic items and 30 mundane items.

They are weird and need some creativity to be super useful. Use the tables below or download a PDF 🙂

Sorry about potential typos!
