Description

This would be a useful template for any dungeon master that would want to create custom magic items. When I first started, I had to figure out how to format it on my own. I personally believe it would be a great help to everyone.

Magic Item Template :

Click to expand



#### Doorknob of Niceness
*Wondrous condiment, quite rare (requires attunement)*

This knob is pretty nice. It opens the door you put it on.


#### Longsword of Leering
*Weapon (toy sword), really common (requires attunement by a child)*

This sword makes you scowl at anyone you see. Completely harmless.

Thank you for posting this.

To be more inline with the DMG, where the first line of text is not indented, you would need to do a little more.

You can either add 2 spaces at the end of the italic line:

#### Doorknob of Niceness
*Wondrous condiment, quite rare (requires attunement)*  
This knob is pretty nice. It opens the door you put it on.

This is impossible to see and hard to figure out, so you might use the three underscores method:

#### Doorknob of Niceness
*Wondrous condiment, quite rare (requires attunement)*
___
This knob is pretty nice. It opens the door you put it on.

The most precise replication of the DMG requires a little html/css knowledge, but also looks the most authentic:

#### Doorknob of Niceness
*Wondrous condiment, quite rare (requires attunement)*
<div style='margin-top:-2px'></div>
This knob is pretty nice. It opens the door you put it on.

Yes, I think we can add this in as a snippet.

Pull request #842 implements this feature, though we may want to give some consideration to the formatting. I used the styling with the <div> tags and it looks a bit strange to me as there's a rather large gap between the item specs and description text, but maybe that's the look we're going for?

Check out the DMG's item descriptions. They, too, have a rather large gap between the item specs and description text.
