Some thing I haven't really seen done in DND except for wow RPG is Item Sets. The idea of a group of items being built to go with each other has been showed off a few times but no set bonuses. So whilst DMing a warcraft based game I forged a few sets. The WOWRPG has the set items being of x value and the set together is of Y meta value. The meta value is only used for DM loot granting purposes. I don't care for that system so may approach was to divide the set bonus's total gold value between each piece. So here is my rules for creating sets.
Designing Armor Sets
Idea: What is the sets intended use? Making warriors worthy of the town guard, Empowering a wizards arcane potential, Guiding the rogue's blade to their target, or Heavy Duty Mining Gear.
Define the items: What body slots are taken up by the set. is it a suit of piece mail plate armor with bracers, shoulder guards, breastplate, helm, belt, boots, leggings, or just wand and orb of power.
Define the Item Benefit: here is where you design the benefits of he set and each item. Feel free to mimic certain items that fit your design intent. For instance a set for druids that specialize in shapeshifting into snakes gaining dex to damage from gloves or hide armor that increases their natural armor while in animal form.
Define the Set Benefit: For a the aforementioned druid lets say it provides grants the poison of the animal they change into once you wear 4 pieces.
Will post first sets later tonight.
