D20 Mechanic: Consumables

Consumables are items that are consumed upon their use. While they have a variety of effects, they are usually short-lasting.

Most consumables require the expenditure of a healing surge to function. You do not have to attune to consumables to use them.

Materia and Desynthesis

Consumables never have materia sockets, nor can they be desynthesized into materia.

Economics of Consumables

Consumables are Force items, but require very little in terms of reagents and effort, and as such there exist a wide variety of consumables in the gold economy. However, there do exist recipes for consumables of considerably more power, and these items can only be had in the mox economy.

Common consumables can be purchased for the price of 50 gp, and can be purchased through the gold economy, and have no place in the mox economy.

Uncommon consumables cannot be purchased in the gold economy, but can be sold in it as though they had a price of 100 gp. Uncommon consumables cost 1 dp in the mox economy.

Rare consumables cannot be traded in the gold economy whatsoever. Rare consumables have extremely powerful effects. Rare consumables cost 2 dp in the mox economy.

Mythic consumables cannot be traded in the gold economy whatsoever. Mythic accessories are extreme expressions of power, often being unique one-of-a-kind items imbued with strange and unusual powers. Mythic consumables cost 4 dp in the mox economy.

Artifact consumables cannot be purchased in any economy whatsoever; they can be sold in the mox economy as though they had a value of 8 dp to someone who is looking for that particular artifact. There is no particular market for them: to trade an artifact, you must find seek out (or be found by) an individual who wants it. Artifacts are not just unique items, they are also nigh-indestructible fonts of incredible power. Mortals are incapable of intentionally creating artifacts.
