The Table: Item Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and Capabilities determines how many lesser and greater powers an intelligent item has. To find the item’s specific powers, choose or roll on the appropriate tables below.
All powers function at the direction of the item, although intelligent items generally follow the wishes of their owner. Activating a power or concentrating on an active one is a standard action the item takes.
If the same power is rolled twice, roll again.
