The Forge is a Magic Item Creation Tool which can be used by the DM to create magic items. Although it is possible to make some use of the Forge without it, the Dungeon Masters Guide is almost essential and the following assumes ownership of the Fantasy Grounds DMG module. The idea is to allow for the creation of 'non standard' magic items,thus the DM can for example create +4 weapons or +5 armor which aren't available from the list in the DMG. To access the Forge click on the Items menu button and then on the icon in the top right of the window which opens.
The basic idea behind the forge is that mundane or ordinary items are dragged into the left hand panel and magic item templates are dragged into the right hand side. Once everything is in place clicking 'Forge Magic Item' will create the item using whatever has been placed within the Forge.
Open the Magic Item templates by clicking on the templates button at the top of the item dialog. There are some restrictions and caveats which the user needs to be aware of. Items in the left and right hand windows must be compatible. In other words you cannot combine properties from a magical armor template to a weapon. Attempting to forge incompatible items will give an error and nothing will be created. You can forge 'illegal' items. For example you could combine an 'Arrow of Slaying' template with a greatsword.
The Forge, when checking compatibility, only checks the type and not the subtype. Since both an arrow and a greatsword are weapons the items will happily combine. Extremely overpowered items can be created and the Dungeon Master is cautioned against doing so. To create an item open up the equipment list either in the Player's Handbook or the extended one from the Dungeon Masters Guide. Find a mundane item, weapon, armor, ring, rod, wand, staff or potion and drag that into the left hand side of the forge under 'equipment'. Now open up the 'Magic Item Templates' in the Dungeon Masters Guide and find a compatible item in the list. Drag that into the right hand side of the Forge.
You can continue to drag more compatible items into the right hand side if you want to give the item you are crafting several properties. Once you have done click the 'Forge Magic Item' button and your item will be created.
At any time you can click the 'Clear Forge' button to remove all the items in it. You can also right click on any individual item and select 'Delete Item'. You can also drag items which have been created in the Forge into the left hand side. Thus it is possible to have items which might 'grow' with the player. For example if you created a +1 sword for a particular character and later when they reached a certain level you can 'upgrade' it to have a +2 or have some additional property that only becomes available at higher levels. Magic weapons which give bonuses to hit and/or damage will automatically create the proper entry in the actions tab when equipped by the character. In the case of Wondrous items almost any mundane item from the equipment list can be imbued with magical properties using the Wondrous magic item templates.
You could for example create a Bag of Health, A Belt of Holding or Boots of Fire Giant Strength. The possibilities here are almost limitless. Once you have created your item you can then edit it in the usual way. Some More ExamplesCreate A Treasure ParcelA treasure parcel is, as it's name suggests, a parcel of treasure which the PCs might find during the course of an adventure. It need not of course contain anything of great monetary value but might be a clue or some other seemingly mundane item.
