Artifacts of Power: Magic Item Sets for D&D

What is Artifacts of Power?

Artifacts of Power brings Diablo-style magic item sets to D&D 5E. Discover 50 magic item sets that grow stronger as you collect them, unlocking new powers and abilities with each piece.

The system includes quest hooks, lore, and placement tools to turn sets into epic, campaign-spanning treasure hunts.

Here's the thing about magic items in D&D:

Most of them get forgotten.

You hand out a +1 sword. Your players nod. It goes on the character sheet. Two sessions later, no one remembers it exists.

Treasure should be exciting. It should drive the story forward. It should make players hunt for the next piece.

Artifacts of Power does exactly this, transforming treasure from "just another +1 sword" into that gotta-catch-'em-all drive that keeps campaigns alive for years.

Treasure should be exciting! It should drive the story forward. It should make players hunt for the next piece. That's what Artifacts of Power does.

How Item Sets Work

The system is straightforward: items work on their own, but grow stronger together. No complex subsystems. No rewriting your campaign. Just treasure pieces players actually want to chase.

Artifacts of Power contains 50 item sets designed around this progression system. Treasure that scales with your campaign so sets stay relevant from early levels to the end of your story.

Taxes

Thanks to UK regulations and our fulfillment partnership with Lulu, we’ve been able to include all taxes in the prices shown on this campaign and totally avoid tariffs. That means no hidden fees or unexpected costs later. What you see in the 'checkout' is what you pay.

No shortcuts.

We’re working with real artists because magic items should feel magical. Franscisco Somalo and our team created original illustrations throughout this book. Not AI generated, not generic, and not an afterthought.

That said, not every item set will have bespoke artwork. We chose to focus illustration where it has the most impact, rather than cutting corners or flooding the book with filler art.

When your table assembles their first complete set, the art should hit as hard as the mechanics. That’s the experience we’re building.
