<INSERT ART @; EQUIPMENT; 1/2H>

Equipment
Proper equipment can make the difference between
life and death. You need weapons, armor, goods,
and, eventually, magical items if you succeed in your
adventures. This appendix presents an extensive
inventory of items you might purchase with coin
you find on your adventurers and earn in the
downtime between them.

Prices
People conduct commerce using coins. Minting and
weights of these coins vary from land to land, but
coins are interchangeable regardless of who’s been
stamped onto their faces. Coins come in three basic
denominations: gold, silver, and copper. Of them,
copper coins are the most common in circulation,
being the primary unit of commerce. Exchange
rates between coins are always 10 to 1, such that 10
copper pieces (cp) equals 1 silver piece (sp). For ease
of reference, consult the following chart.

1 gold piece (gp) = 10 silver pieces (sp)

1 silver piece = 10 copper pieces (cp)

Rare Coins: People of other lands might use coins

of different denominations. Also, older coins
sometimes come up in circulation such as platinum
pieces, electrum pieces, and bronze pieces. Each
platinum piece is worth 5 gp. Each electrum piece is
worth 5 sp and each bronze piece is worth 5 cp.
Other Valuables: Gemstones, jewelry, art objects,
promissory notes, deeds, trade goods such as
lumber, base metals, livestock, and other
commodities can serve in place of coin. Such items
command anywhere from half their value to their
full value to interested buyers. People might also
trade ordinary items as well, though the value of
such goods depend on their condition and demand.

Availability
An item’s availability describes how easy it is to find
it in a marketplace. Common can be found in
communities of any size. Uncommon items require
more specialized training to make and are thus
found in towns and larger communities. Rare
indicates the item is made of rare materials and
require expert craftsmanship, which limits it to
cities. Finally, exotic items represent those that
must be custom made by true masters using
expensive or rare materials. Finding people who
create them might be the plot of an adventure.

Armor Descriptions
Details on armor follow.
Brigandine: Brigandine armor is made from thin
metal strips sandwiched between layers of cloth and
leather, fitted with metal studs. It typically consists
of a long-sleeved coat with greaves, boots, and
gloves. Brigandine armor often comes with an open-
faced helmet.
Half Plate: Metal plating, bands, or splints protect
vital arears. The armor consists of the mail clothing
plus cuirass, greaves, pauldrons, a padded
undergarment, and either a helmet with a visor or a
closed-faced helm.
Full Plate: The heaviest form of armor and the
one offering the best protection, full plate fully
encases the wearer in metal plates, splints, or bands.
The armor is typically worn overtop a thin mail
shirt and greaves, which is itself worn over padded
clothing. The armor includes a closed-face helm or
a helmet with a visor.
Leather: This suit of leather clothing incorporates
components made soft, flexible leather and
hardened leather to protect the most vital areas. It
includes a jacket or breastplate, shoulder guards,
greaves, boots, and a cap. Some forms of leather
armor feature metal studs for additional protection.
Mail: An interlinked mesh of metal loops or rings,
it’s worn overtop padded clothing to prevent
chafing. This suit includes a hood, sleeved mail shirt
that hangs to the thighs, leggings, and an open-
faced helmet.
Scale: A superior suit of medium armor, scale
consists of a woven mesh of metal scales that cover
the torso, arms, and lower body. The suit comes
with a helmet.
Weapons
The weapons described below represent the ones
typically used in the New Lands. Some weapons can
be used to represent other weapons. For example, a
scimitar might be a saber, while a sword can be a
broad sword or a cutlass. One of the tables describes
melee weapons, which are weapons you use against
target you can reach, and ranged weapons, which
include weapons you use to launch projectiles at
distant targets.
Weapon Properties
Weapons have properties to explain how they work.
Some properties include a requirement, which is
listed parenthetically, such as (Strength 13+). If you
meet the requirement, you benefit from the
property.

if you have a Strength 11, you would add nothing to
the damage if it’s a small weapon, +1 for a medium

assigned to it. You can attack with a blowgun while
riding a friendly creature.
Bow: The bow is a length of flexible wood with a
cord tied to both ends. To fire, you place the butt of
an arrow on the string, draw the string back, and
release. You can attack with a bow while riding a
friendly creature.
Buckler: A small round shield normally worn
strapped to the arm.
Chain: A length of chain.
Club: Any basic bludgeon such as a nightstick,
cudgel, belaying pin, unlit torch, or a short branch
from a tree counts as a club. Most improvised
weapons also count as clubs.
Crossbow: Anyone can fire a crossbow, so simple
is its design. A crossbow features a grooved wooden
stock to which has been fastened a metal or wooden
bow perpendicular to the stock. A rope, bowstring,
or cable of some kind stretches from one side of the
bow to the other and can be pulled back or cranked
back using a winding mechanism. The time it takes
to reload severely limits the crossbow’s rate of fire.
You must use two hands to load this weapon. You
can attack with a crossbow while riding a friendly
creature.
Crossbow Pistol: A smaller, compact version of
the standard crossbow, the crossbow pistol makes an
excellent sidearm for its size. Reloading the
crossbow pistol requires drawing the cord back,
which takes two hands.
Dagger: A dagger is a knife with a longer blade
used as a backup weapon, off-hand weapon and for
close quarters fighting. Unlike the knife, the
dagger’s often heavy blade makes it unsuited for
throwing. Daggers come in various designs, with
some being distinctive enough to have special
names, such as the stiletto, baselard, dirk, and
hanger. For bladed weapons balanced for throwing,
see knife.
Flail: The flail is a hafted weapon with a length of
chain with one or more weights hanging from one
end. The weights can be studded or spiked.
Great Axe: The great axe has a long wooden or
metal haft with grip near the base and a double
blade at the end.
Great Sword: The great sword, sometimes called
a two-hander, has a double-edged blade of up to
seven feet in length, with a long, leather-wrapped
grip. Designed for fighting cavalry, the weapon is
cumbersome and slow.
Hammer: A tool designed to break up rock and
pound nails, it also works well as a weapon. A
typical hammer has a wooden or metal haft topped
with a metal block.
Hand Cannon: The hand cannon is a simple
metal barrel attached to a metal stock. You fire the
weapon by touching fire to the flashpan, which
causes the powder to ignite and launch the ball at
the target. If the powder is wet, the weapon does not
fire. You must prime the weapon each time you fire
it, an activity that requires two hands.
Misfire If you roll a 5 or less to attack with the weapon,
the hand cannon misfires and nothing happens.
Explosion If you roll a 0 or less to attack with the weapon,
the hand cannon explodes and deals 2d6 damage to
you.
Harquebus: The harquebus improves on the
hand cannon’s design by incorporating matchlock
technology. Depressing the lever pushes a
smoldering wick to the flash pan, which fires the
weapon. If the powder is wet, though, the weapon
does not fire.
Recoil After firing the weapon, if you don’t meet the
Strength requirement, you must succeed on a Strength
roll or fall prone.
Misfire If you roll a 5 or less to attack with the weapon,
the harquebus misfires and nothing happens.
Explosion If you roll a 0 or less to attack with the weapon,
the harquebus explodes and deals 2d6 damage to you.
Hatchet: A basic chopping tool, a hatchet features
a short wooden haft with a wedge-shaped blade at
the end. A hatchet is balanced for throwing.
Javelin: A short spear designed for throwing.
Knife: Knives have short blades, no longer than
six inches, that have one edge or two, emerging from
wooden or leather-wrapped grips. Knives are
balanced for throwing.
Knuckledusters: Rings of iron or bronze welded
together so that they can be worn over the fingers,
knuckledusters turn punches into bone-breaking
strikes.
Lance: A lance is a long, heavy spear. You can
attack with a lance while riding a friendly creature.
Charging Strike Your attack with the lance deals 1d6 extra
damage if you are mounted and your mount moved at
least one area toward the target before you make the
attack.
Mounted Weapon While you are mounted, you treat a
lance as a medium weapon.
Long Sword: The long sword, sometimes called a
hand-and-a-half sword or claymore, features a long
blade with a grip long enough to accommodate a
wielder using both hands.
Longbow: A larger version of the bow, it fires
arrows with greater force.
Mace: A weighted ball or flanged head caps the
haft of this weapon, making it superior to a club.
Mattock: A tool for breaking up rock, a pick has a
dull slightly curved bladed resting at one end
perpendicular to its haft.

sufficient to allow people to conceal their identities
from casual inspection.
Forger’s Kit: A forger’s kit includes all the tools
and materials one needs to make copies of official
documents, invitations, and similar items.
You can make a forgery of document or similar
object you can see. The time it takes to produce the
copy varies, from just a few minutes to several days
depending on the nature of the forgery. Usually,
creating the forgery requires a successful Intellect
roll, with 3 or more banes depending on the
original’s complexity. If you are an artisan, you
reduce the number of banes by 2 (minimum 0).
Some forgeries might not be possible without a
special talent, at the Sage’s discretion. A forger’s kit
includes enough material to make 5 forgeries.
Garrote: This length of wire has two handles at
either end and is used to strangle creatures. If you’re
armed with a garrote, you can attack with it as if you
were making unarmed attack. A creature more than
2 sizes larger than you cannot be affected by your
garrote. On a success, the target becomes grabbed.
While the target is grabbed in this way, it is impaired
and is subject to suffocation. Each time you strangle
the target, it takes 1d6 damage.
Grapnel: A metal device with one or more
curving prongs extending from a metal neck, the
loop at the base of the neck is wide enough to
accommodate a typical rope. The grapnel can be
thrown straight up a number of yards equal to 2d6 +
the thrower’s Strength modifier (minimum 1). To
catch the grapnel onto a protrusion within the
thrower’s range requires a successful Agility roll. If
the grapnel catches and has been attached to a rope,
creatures can ascend the rope for as long as the
grapnel holds.
Healer’s Kit: A set of bandages, ointments, herbs,
thread, and needles, all of which can be used to treat
injuries, a healer’s kit has 5 uses. You can spend 1

damage equal to 1 + its level.
Herbal Poultice: Apothecaries create herbal

twice the normal amount.
Holy Water: Sold in glass bottles etched with the
symbol of the religion responsible for its blessing,
each bottle contains one dose. You can use an action
to splash the liquid from inside the bottle at a
creature in the area. If the creature is a demon,
faerie, or undead, it takes 2d6 damage. Otherwise,
the water has no effect. A creature that would take
this damage can make a luck roll and the droplets
miss on a success.
Hourglass: A wooden frame holds a pair of glass
bulbs connected in the middle by a narrow neck.
Sand sits in one bulb. When flipped so that the bulb
holding the sand is at the top, the sand drains into
the empty bulb in about 1 hour.
Knife, Folding: The blade of this knife unfolds
from the handle. Attacking with this item counts as
making an unarmed attack.
Lantern: A standard lantern has a reservoir of oil
topped by an adjustable wick contained inside of
glass and metal case. The reservoir can hold a pint
of oil. You can use an action to light the wick,
causing the lantern to emit bright light. It takes four
hours to burn through a pint of oil.
Lantern, Spotlight: A spotlight lantern functions
as a regular lantern, but emits light in just one
direction out to two areas.
Liquid Smoke: Sold in a ceramic bottle labelled
“Do Not Drink,” the fluid turns to a thick, smoke-
like gas when exposed to air. You can use an action
to shake the bottle and throw it anywhere within an
adjacent or closer area. When the bottle lands or
impacts against a solid surface, it cracks open and
the liquid releases thick gas to spread through the
area, causing everyone in it to become blinded for as
long as they remain there. At the end of the round,
the smoke spreads into adjacent areas obscure them
as well. The liquid generates smoke for 1 minute, but
the smoke remains in the air for about 1 hour.
Lock and Key: A basic padlock, it comes with a
key.
Lock Picks: Tools designed to thwart locks, they
include several files, bent wires, needles, and the
like. You can use lock picks to attempt to open a lock
you can reach. The time it takes to make the attempt
depends on the lock’s complexity, though it takes 1
minute to open an ordinary lock. A successful
attempt requires succeeding on an Agility roll.
Superior locks might impose additional banes.
Magnifying Glass: A glass lens, it is sometimes
held in a metal frame with handle. The lens offers
ten times magnification of any object you can reach.
Manacles: A basic set of metal cuffs attached to
each other by a thick chain, the manacles have a
locking mechanism and a key to lock and unlock
them. A creature wearing manacles can attempt to
break the chain if the creature has at least a 15
Strength and succeeds on a Strength roll with 2
banes.
Mess Kit: A typical mess kit includes a plate, cup,
knife, and fork that all fold up into a tidy package.

from highly polished metal to make them more
durable when used in the field.
10

action to throw the net at one creature in your area.
Roll Agility against the target’s Agility. On a success,
the net falls over the target and causes it to become
entangled until a creature uses an action to remove
the net. An entangled creature is impaired and
cannot retreat or run. An entangled target can use
an action to roll Agility with 1 bane. On a success,
the target ends the entanglement. A target with a
Strength of 14 or higher can use an action to make a
Strength roll with 1 bane. On a success, it tears free
from the net, destroying it. Finally, a creature with
an edged weapon can use an action to cut a hole in
the net, thus freeing the target.
Occultist’s Kit: An occultist kits contains
everything one might need to perform rituals,
ceremonies, and other activities related to magic
and the occult. The kit contains a pair of knives, a
chalice, pentacle, chalks for inscribing mystic
diagrams and circles, as well as a set of ten black
candles.
Oil, Pint: Normally sold in clay flasks with cork
stoppers, oil can be used to prevent weapons and
armor from rusting as well as to light lanterns. You
can also use an action to stuff a flaming rag into the
neck of the oil flask and throw it into an adjacent
area or anywhere in your area. When the flask
impacts against a solid surface, flaming oil spreads
out across flat surfaces and burns for a few minutes
to create obscurement in the area from the smoke.
You can also use an action to throw the flask at a
creature in your area. Roll Strength or Agility roll
against the target’s Agility. On a success, the flask
hits, breaks, and covers the target with flaming oil.
The target takes 1d6 damage from the flames, and
1d6 extra damage at the end of each round until a
creature uses an action to douse the flames. On a
failure, the flask misses, strikes a solid surface and
splashes up to randomly determined creatures or
objects in its area with burning oil that deals 1d6
damage.
Pitons: Pitons are short metal spikes backed with
loops. Climbers hammer them into the rock and
thread rope through them to aid those climbing up
from below.

wooden pole, it’s often used to tap the floor ahead in
order to spring traps or to push on pressure plates
and the like from a distance.

similar projectiles. A quiver can hold up to 20
projectiles.
Rope: Sold in 50-foot coils, rope might be made

Strength 14 or higher can break the rope with a
successful Strength roll with 1 bane.
Spare Parts: A set of spare parts include all kinds
of mechanical components used to build and repair
devices as well as clockworks. You can use an action
to expend the parts and cause one clockwork,
automaton, or other device you can reach to remove
damage equal to 1 + its level.
Spike: A one-foot tapering length of iron.
Spyglass: A collapsible tube of brass and wood
fitted with a set of lenses, the spyglass lets you see
farther than you ordinarily can when you peer
through it. A spyglass provides ten times
magnification of objects.

colorful labels and designs, sulfur sticks are thin
lengths of wood that catch fire when drawn across a
rough surface. Each stick burns for 1 round before
guttering out and gives off light in a 1-yard radius.

shape like one used by a particular religion.

shavings for free.

pliers, screw drivers, an awl, and other tools used by
craftsmen.
Torch: Torches can be short wooden staves,
bundles of twigs, or something similar. Most usually
have a naphtha-soaked rag tied around the end. If
you have a ready flame, you can light a torch
without using an action. You can attack with a torch
as if it was a club, but the torch imposes 1 bane on
rolls you make to attack with it. A lit torch deals 3
extra damage from the flames. A torch emits bright
light for up to 2 hours.
Writing Kit: A writing kit includes 5 sheets of
parchment or paper, a couple bottles of ink, pens, a
knife, and a bag of sand to dry the paper.
Implements
An implement aids you in the casting of spells, by
helping you focus the magical energies more
11
effectively. To derive benefits from an implement,
however, you must be attuned to it. You can be
attuned to one implement at a time.
Attunement
You can become attuned to an implement provided
you have learned at least one spell. If so, you must
touch the implement and maintain physical contact
with it for 1 hour. When you finish, you are attuned
to the implement until you die, the implement is
destroyed, or you become attuned to a different
implement.

Substances
The province of alchemists, herbalists, and some
science-minded scholars, the process of brewing
potions involves different techniques that often
involve infusing magical substances into common
fluids such as water or alcohol. Magical substances
are divided into five categories: elixirs, philters,
poisons, potions, and powders.
Creating Substances: You need a recipe to craft a
substance. You might purchase recipes from
alchemists, apothecaries, witches, and others, or
you might find them. A recipe has a price equal to
half the price of the substance it would create.
By following the recipe’s instructions, you can
spend 1 hour using an alchemist’s kit to brew a
substance from rare ingredients worth half the
substance’s price. At the end of this time, you have
one dose of the substance.
Elixirs
Elixirs contain curative properties that can fight off
sickness, cure wounds, and even neutralize harmful
substances. Elixirs are sold by the dose and a

ammunition must roll Strength with 1 bane. A
creature becomes sickened for 1 round on a success,
and falls prone and becomes sickened for 1 hour on
a failure. While sickened in this way, the creature is
also stunned.
Blood of Alice: A syrupy sweet liquid, it is the
nectar of the Alice flower, a trumpet flower that
grows in the southern jungles beyond the Sea of
Fears. A dose of this poison can contaminate a
tankard-full of liquid or a single meal.
A creature that consumes drink or food
contaminated with this poison must roll Strength

becomes sickened. While sickened in this way, the
creature is unconscious. At the end of each hour, the
creature can roll Strength with 1 bane and, on a
success, removes the sickened affliction from itself.
Heartkill: A jar of this crimson paste can cover
the edge of an edged or pointed weapon or piece of
ammunition and retains potency for 1 hour or until
it deals damage to a creature. A creature that takes
damage from a weapon or ammunition smeared
with this poison must, during the upkeep, make a
Strength roll with 3 banes. The creature takes 10d6
damage on a failure, or half the damage on a

Nalic Oil: This thin colorless oil requires nothing
but contact to attack a creature’s system. You can
apply the oil to a hard surface such as a door
handle, a bowstring, or the weapon’s grip. A dose of
poison, once applied, remains potent for up to ten
touches or for 1 hour.
A creature that touches the oil with exposed flesh
becomes, after 1 hour, sickened and takes 3d6

A dose of strangler powder can contaminate food
and drink for up to five people.
A creature that consumes the poisoned food or

the creature cannot breathe and is subject to

Potions are magical liquids that have a variety of
different effects. Potion bottles run the gamut, from
simple metal vials to bottles shaped like animals or
in artistic designs in colorful glass. Each bottle
contains a single dose, which must be fully
consumed to activate its effects.
Consuming Potions: A creature holding a potion
can use an action to either drink it or administer it
to an unconscious creature it can reach. Consuming
the potion expends its magic. A potion always takes
effect during the upkeep in which it is consumed.
Mixing Potions: Rarely is it a good idea to mix
two potions together, even the same kinds of
potions. The magic contained in the fluids proves
volatile and thus the combination of potions
produces unpredictable effects. Mixing a potion
occurs when you add one potion to another,
whether you combining two potions into a new
container or if you drink a potion while under the
effect of another potion. Roll 3d6 and consult the
following table to see what happens.
MIXED POTION EFFECTS

18 The potions combine to become a new potion of the
Sage’s choice. If the new potion has a duration, it
lasts three time as long.
16–17 Each potion in the mix works normally, and if they
have durations, they each last twice as long.
13–15 Both potions continue to work as normal.
9–12 The effects of one potion chosen by the Sage stops
working.
6–8 The effects of both potions stop working.
4–5 The mixed potions become toxic and their original
effects end. You must roll Strength, taking damage
equal to your Health on a failure, or half your Health
on a success. If you’re still alive, you become
sickened until rest for at least 8 hours.
3 The mixed potions combine to become volatile, but
their effects continue. The next time you take
damage while under either potion’s effect, the
mixture explodes, dealing 20d6 damage to you and
everything in the area around you. A creature, other
than you, that would take this damage can roll Agility
and takes half the damage on a success.

liquid makes your entire body tingle. You gain one

wears off immediately.
Potion of Polymorph: You need to drop a hair, bit
of nail, or scrap of flesh of another creature into the

If you would grow to a size that the area you are in
cannot accommodate, you stop growing when you
reach your limit. The effect lasts 1 hour, at which
point you suddenly return to normal size and
become impaired for 1 round from the resulting
dizziness. If you were size 1 or smaller when you
drink this potion, you reduce your Defense by 4. If
you size 2, reduce your Defense by 2. If size 3, reduce
your Defense by 1. You impose 2 banes on rolls
made against your Strength, make Strength rolls 2

ground. At the end of each round for 1 hour, you rise
2d6 inches higher and remain there. If you
encounter a ceiling, you stop rising and can pull
yourself along it as if you were crawling. Similarly, if
you can reach a wall, you can pull yourself along it,
again as if you were crawling. You can be pulled
back down, but if released, you continue rising.
When the effect ends, you release a terrific belch
and descend 3d6 inches each round until you touch
the ground or a solid surface.
Powders
Powders have many different effects, some being
toxic, others hallucinogenic, others just irritating.
Sold in small paper packets, they are tossed or
blown into the faces of other creatures so that they
breathe in the powder and become subject to their
effects soon after. You can use an action to blow the
powder at a creature within reach or use an action
to inhale the powder yourself. An unwilling creature
can make a luck roll and avoids the powder’s effects
on a success.

you hide, you become invisible to any creature
beyond your reach until you use an action or move.
Climbing Gloves: These sturdy gloves grant 1
boon on rolls to climb.

you use the fortune stone, you must wait 1 hour
before you can use it again.
Glow Stone: Mystic runes cover this stone. When
handled, the stone feels warm to the touch. While
you hold the stone, you can use an action to activate
its magical property, which causes it to shed dim
light. You can use an action to extinguish the light.
Magic Armor: Magic armor provides additional
protection. Add the listed price to the armor’s
normal price. Magic armor increases the Defense
from wearing armor by 2.

protect you from harm. When you would make a
roll to resist an attack or some other harmful effect,

• One end of the rope moves in any direction
you choose up to 10 feet.
• The rope ties itself around an object within
5 feet of it.
• The rope attacks one creature next to it.
The target must roll Agility with 1 bane. On
a failure, the rope coils around the target
causing it to become restrained for the
duration. A target with a Strength 14 or
higher can burst free from the binding with
a successful Strength roll. A target with an
Agility 14 or higher can escape the bindings
with a successful Agility roll. Finally, a
creature that can touch the target can use
an action to cut through the cord.
Silent Shoes: A pair of fine leather shoes with soft
soles, while you wear them on your feet, you only
make sound from moving when you choose to make
sounds.
Skeleton Key: Any creature holding the key can
use an action to lock or unlock a normal lock it can
reach. The first time used, the lock unlocks or locks.
Each time thereafter, however, the user must roll
luck. On a success, the lock unlocks or locks. On a
failure, the key breaks.
