Universal Magic Items
Inspired by the 5E DMG and available on DM's Guild along with similar tables
Magic item tables are often for monsters but these are for use by characters or DMs wanting to add magic items to an adventure for particular characters or types.
All characters will be interested in protecting themselves with defensive items or armour and shields. Utility items are useful wherever you adventure and most adventurers have to do some kind of travel in their quests and missions.
