Gear & Services
Alchemical concoctions (anodynes, incendiaries, medicine, nostrums, poisons, and tonics) are listed under Alchemy, along with the rules for buying them from an alchemist.
Kits
Kits are ready-made bundles for new characters, priced at the sum of their contents (rounded down by pocket change), so buying the pieces separately costs the same. Each is stocked for a first expedition. Weapons, armor, clothing, and foci are bought separately. Specialist kits pack into the Adventurer's Pack; items listed with a slot are carried there instead.

Textiles and Clothing
Clothing not only protects you from the elements but also serves as a status symbol. Silks, fine wools, and embroidery are expected from higher classes and a lack of these finer elements is a sign that someone is of a lower class. First impressions can go a long way in determining how PCs and NPCs are treated in social situations. Worn clothing is non-encumbering. Carried clothing counts as one Light object for every 5 pieces, unless the table lists its own encumbrance. Garments without a description are what their names suggest.
Broadcloth, Fine. Dense plain wool, spun into a fine, thinner cloth usually with an ornate weave, such as twill.
Broadcloth, Plain. Dense plain wool spun into a plain, coarse cloth for general use usually with a plain weave.
Broadcloth, Scarlet. The finest wool broadcloth, heavily fulled and shorn until dense and smooth, then dyed with kermes, the costliest dye of all. Scarlet names the cloth rather than its color, and a scarlet can be red, blue, black, or green.
Canvas. Hemp spun cloth, usually in a plain weave. Used for utilitarian objects like tents and bags.
Cloth of Gold. Silk woven with gold thread: a narrow strip of silver, gilded on its surface and wound around a silk or linen core. The gold thread usually forms the weft, over a warp of fine yellow silk or wool. The price varies with the fineness of the silk, the weave, and how much metal it carries.
Cloth of Gold, Pure. Cloth of gold woven with strips of nearly pure gold rather than gilded silver. The older way of making it, and the heaviest and costliest of the gold cloths.
Cloth of Gold, Raised. Cloth of gold woven with an extra gold weft, raised in loops so that the gold stands up from the surface. It carries far more metal than plain cloth of gold, and takes far longer to weave.
Cloth of Silver. Fabric woven with threads of silver. The threads can be linen or silk that are then wrapped in a narrow strip of almost pure silver. Linen produces a thicker thread and silk produces a finer thread, being more expensive. These threads are woven into a fabric, usually comprising the weft, oftentimes the warp being fine white wool or silk. The price can vary depending on the quality of the materials used, the type of weave, and the purity of the silver.
Linen, Fine. Linen spun from flax into a softer, thinner cloth that might have an ornate weave. Dyes might be applied for an additional cost, but it can also be its natural color.

Linen, Plain. Hempen linen is generally more coarse with a broader weave. Low-cost dyes might be applied for an additional cost, but it is often its natural color.
Silk, Fine. Fine silk almost always includes ornate weaves, and can be brocaded, embroidered, and usually dyed rich colors.
Silk, Plain. Plain silk is usually defined by the plainness of the weave and the lack of patterning.
Tabard. A tabard is a piece of cloth worn over armor to help keep rain, mud, blood, and other grime off in order to keep the armor from rusting. Knights also wear tabards to display their colors or sigil.
Velvet, Fine. Fabric with a pile made of silk thread. Fine velvet is made with complex weaves or patterns, is often dyed with rich colors, and is always backed with silk.
Velvet, Plain. Fabric with a pile made of silk thread. Plain velvet is made with simple weaves, is unadorned, and may be backed with cheaper fabrics, such as wool.
Wool, Fine. Fabric woven of finer fibers of wool that creates a softer, "hairier" cloth. Less durable, but a much finer fabric with a less noticeable weave.
Wool, Thick. Fabric woven of thicker fibers of wool that creates a sturdy cloth. The weave is generally more visible than finer types of wool.

These items represent some of the key items that adventurers must have on hand to ensure their prolonged welfare in dangerous environments.

Ball Bearings (1,000). You can spill these tiny iron balls from their pouch to cover a level, square area that is 10 feet on a side. A Large or smaller creature moving across the covered area must succeed on an Agility trial or fall prone. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to roll the trial.
Bola. A set of cords with two or three weighted balls on the ends. The bola is whirled overhead and thrown at a target's legs to entangle them. Throwing a bola costs 1 AP. Roll 2d[Physique Tier Die] to set the entanglement DC. The target makes a Strength Trial against your DC. On failure, the target advances Restricted by 1 tier. A Restricted creature can spend 1 AP to cut the bola with a bladed weapon or make a Strength Trial against the original DC to pull free. Cannot target creatures more than one size larger than you or creatures without legs. Single use until retrieved and untangled (1 minute out of combat). Range: 20/40 (second increment with Impotence).
Block and Tackle. Wooden pulley system intended for use with Hemp Rope. For the purposes of lifting or pulling objects, force is doubled for each additional pulley.
Caltrops. A caltrop is a four-pronged iron spike crafted so that one prong faces up no matter how the caltrop comes to rest. You scatter caltrops on the ground in the hope that your enemies step on them or are at least forced to slow down to avoid them. One 4-pound bag of caltrops covers an area 5 feet square.
Any creature that enters the area must succeed on an Agility trial (DC 4) or stop moving this turn and take 1 Piercing damage. Taking this damage reduces the creature's movement by 10 feet for 1 exploration round. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn't need to roll the trial.
Candle, Beeswax. Candles made from beeswax, which are usually associated with a pleasant smell. Lasts about 2 hours and provides 10 feet of light and 10 feet of ambient light. Can be placed in a lantern to avoid snuffing it out due to wind or rain.

Cane. A walking stick of ash or oak. A character with a lost foot or broken leg can move with a cane (see Combat, Trauma Table).
Chalk. A small chunk of chalk that is useful for marking passageways to avoid getting lost, inform other adventurers of dangers, or pass other valuable information.
Codex. A bound book used by practitioners of magic and alchemy to record spells, prayers, recipes, or observations. A codex measures 18 x 12 inches with half-inch wooden covers protected by leather. The vellum is alchemically treated to resist vitiation, yielding 100 leaves (200 pages) per inch. It is not uncommon for metalwork to protect the corners, spine, or add definition to the cover. Additional vellum can be bound in by a skilled bookbinder, or the practitioner can start a second volume.
| Pages | Vellum | Covers | Total Thickness | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 1" | 1" | 2" (starter) | ~19 lbs |
| 400 | 2" | 1" | 3" | ~32 lbs |
| 600 | 3" | 1" | 4" | ~46 lbs |
| 800 | 4" | 1" | 5" | ~59 lbs |
| 1000 | 5" | 1" | 6" (maximum) | ~72 lbs |
The amount of content per spell varies by tradition. An occult grimoire requires 1 page per magan. A theurgic prayer book requires 1-2 pages per prayer. A gnomish compendium requires 2 pages per magan. An alchemist's recipe requires 1 page, and a legendary nostrum 5.
The listed price reflects an empty starter codex. The value increases by 2 sc for each additional inch of vellum, which is not representative of its value when it contains magical knowledge.
Crampons. A spiked iron or steel framework attached to the bottom of a shoe or boot to prevent slipping when walking or climbing on ice and snow.
Cresset Lamp. A shallow dish with a short linen wick and a reservoir for oil. With a flask of lamp oil, these lamps provide 20 feet of light and an additional 10 feet of ambient light for 1 hour. They are delicate, and if dropped, bumped, or tipped roll a d2: on a 1, it goes out; on a 2, it bursts into flames.
