Intelligent Items

Magic items sometimes have intelligence of their own. Magically imbued with sentience, these items think and feel the same way characters do and should be treated as NPCs. Intelligent items have extra abilities and sometimes extraordinary powers and special purposes. Only permanent magic items (as opposed to single-use items or those with charges) can be intelligent. (This means that potions, scrolls, and wands, among other items, are never intelligent.) In general, less than 1% of magic items have intelligence.

Dedicated Power - A dedicated power operates only when an intelligent item is in pursuit of its special purpose.
Intelligent Item Alignment - Any item with intelligence has an alignment. Note that intelligent weapons...
Intelligent Item Powers - The table above determines how many lesser and greater powers an intelligent item has.
Item Ego - Ego is a measure of the total power and force of personality that an item possesses.
Item Purpose - An item's purpose must suit the type and alignment of the item and should always be treated reasonably.
Items Against Characters - When an item has an Ego of its own, it has a will of its own.
Languages Spoken By Item - Like a character, an intelligent item speaks Common plus one additional language per point of Intelligence bonus.
