Enchantments

As part of the creation of a magic item, you may choose to imbue it with an enchantment. Any weapon or armor can be enchanted, but doing so bears a considerable time and gold investment.

Enchantment Types

Weapon Enchantments

Enchantments that can be applied to weapons.

Armor Enchantments

Enchantments that can be applied to armor.

Universal Enchantments

Enchantments that can be applied to any item, including weapons, armor, and wondrous items.

Enchantment Limitations

Three Enchantments

No magic item can hold more than three enchantments. When you put a fourth enchantment on an item, you must chose which other enchantment you’re removing from the item.

No Stacking

You cannot put the multiple instances of the same enchantment on an item.

Attunement

If any property of a magic item requires attunement, then the item as a whole requires attunement. Without becoming attuned to an item that requires attunement, you gain only its nonmagical benefits unless its description states otherwise.

When you enchant ammunition, it doesn’t require attunement even if the enchantment normally requires attunement.
