Descriptions

Backpack: A leather bag that can be strapped over the shoulders, requiring no hands. Holds up to 400 coins.

Crowbar: An iron bar, 2–3’ long. Used for prying open doors, chest lids, etc.

Grappling hook: Made of iron, with 3–4 hooks and a ring to attach a rope.

Hammer: Useful for hammering in iron spikes or tapping stonework.

Holy symbol: Divine spell casters must carry a holy symbol of their deity, often in the form of a pendant around the neck. Each deity has their own holy symbol.

Holy water: Water blessed by a holy person, stored in a special vial for use in religious rituals. Holy water inflicts damage on undead monsters. Loses its power if transferred from the blessed vials it is stored in.

Iron spikes: May be used for wedging doors open or shut (see Dungeon Adventuring), as an anchor to attach a rope to, and many other purposes.

Lantern: Shutters allow the light to be hidden and the flame protected. Burns one oil flask every four hours (24 turns). Casts light in a 30’ radius.

Mirror: Useful for looking around corners or for reflecting a gaze attack.

Oil flask: A flask of oil fuels a lantern for four hours (24 turns). Burning oil can also be used as a weapon:

Rations, iron: Preserved food for long journeys.

Rations, standard: Fresh, unpreserved food.

Stakes and mallet: A wooden mallet and three 18” long stakes. Valuable when confronting vampires

Thieves’ tools: A set of lock picking tools in a small case.

Tinder box: Flint, steel, and tinder contained in a small box. Used to light fires, including torches. Using a tinder box takes one round. There is a 2-in-6 chance of success per round.

Torch: When lit, casts light in a 30’ radius and burns for 1 hour (6 turns). Torches may also be used in combat (see Weapons & Armor).
