Nov 02, 2015 As far as point three, this is a serious concern for adventurers. In 5e, characters can only have three magic items attuned at a time (DMG pg 138). Therefore, unlike 4e, the number of magic item slots available to characters are very limited and magic items must be carefully considered. Magic Items A-Z. Magic items are presented in alphabetical order. A magic item’s description gives the item’s name, its category, its rarity, and its magical properties. Adamantine Armor. Armor (medium or heavy, but not hide), uncommon. This suit of armor is reinforced with adamantine, one of the hardest substances in existence.

5e Magic Item Table A
Do you commonly use the Minor Properties table for magic items from the DMG page 143?
The idea is that any magic item should have some additional magical quality to make it unique. This is fitting with the 5E assumption that magic items should be relatively rare.
I like the idea of using these. But admittedly, I haven't really done it.
The list is too brief really. I've been going through my 4E adventurers vault looking for additional properties that I might apply. The frustrating thing about the 4E books is that they didn't include any tables to randomize. I agree that you should choose items that make sense in context, instead of taking one at random. But 'roll until you find one that fits' is a good approach, and sometimes the random result can spark an idea that grows into something more.
