New World Equipment

From ORC Edinburgh RPG Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Equipment can be critical to success - and an adventurer’s survival in the New World. There is an old Estavanian proverb that says, "He who plans badly, ends badly."

The cost of the equipment that follows often has a figure in parentheses. This is the cost when purchased in the New World, as steel is a relatively rare commodity there.

Starting characters begin the game with 400gp. Beginning characters can only buy the equipment listed here.

New Items

Adze (khopesh), Obsidian

The standard LizardFolk fighting blade is a 2-foot long curved club made of two parts of wood lashed around a series of razor-sharp obsidian edges. The natural curve allows for trip actions to be made at +2 and for opposing trips to be negated by simply dropping the weapon. Often wielded with a buckler or shield, two-handed versions are very rare (a two-handed adze is a great axe in so far as stats are concerned) The climate of the jungle makes agility a useful tool. The Adze can be used with Weapon Finesse.

Bone Mail Armour

Bone armour is a cloth or leather coat reinforced with strips of bone, often cut from animals used for food. The armour covers the torso but leaves the limbs free for better mobility.

Chitin Plate Armour

Difficult to work and dangerous to obtain, the exoskeletons of massive insects are still used to construct weapons and armour, especially in areas where metal is scarce. Weapons and armour made from chitin weigh half as much as similar metal items. Although chitin can replace metal in most items, chain weapons such as the spiked chain cannot be made from chitin, nor can chainmail armour or chain shirts.

Giant insects and similar creatures are the only sources of chitin plates big enough for crafting armour. To provide workable chitin, the creature must have a +5 natural armour bonus or better.

Much as they can work choice bits of dragonhide into armour, armoursmiths can make one suit of banded mail for a creature up to two sizes smaller than the source creature, one suit of half-plate for a creature three sizes smaller, or one breastplate or suit of full plate for a creature four sizes smaller. In each case, there is enough material left over to create a large or small shield, one Large or Medium size weapon, two Small weapons, or 50 arrow or bolt heads, provided that the source creature is Large or bigger. Chitin has a hardness of 5 and 10 hit points per inch of thickness.

Item Market Price Modifier
Heavy armour +10,000 gp
Shield +2,000 gp

Choca

Valued as both a spice and a foodstuff, this bitter-tasting nut is extremely popular when rendered down to powder and mixed with water.

Claw Bracer (Obsidian cestus)

Obsidian bracers are not the long claws most people might be familiar with. An obsidian bracer is a series of four pieces of wood trapping some shards of obsidian. This allows for raking attacks and occasionally will be strapped to the legs or tail. Obsidian bracers are often used as secondary weapons as well as tools for clearing foliage. They are often used as signifiers of rank in warrior societies.

Long Spear (Duom)

The obsidian war spear is constructed by a pair of staves that interlock at both ends and have a groove in which a series of obsidian edges are stuck. This construction means that the weapon can be employed like a long spear and a two-handed sword. Targets within 5ft. get a +2 stackable circumstance bonus to AC. The War spear is seen as a Chieftain’s/War chieftain’s weapon and many legends surround their use. The chieftain of the Saasatk tribe is renowned for wielding his grandfather’s spear one-handed so that he could throw the severed heads of his enemies at weaker foes.

Maize

Maize is a cereal grain, cultivated by New World settlers as an alternative to wheat.

Navigators kit

This expensive set of instruments includes a sextant, astrolabe, compass, and measuring tools. It is required to use Knowledge: Geography without penalty in the New World. It may also provide a circumstance modifier to certain Survival checks.

Vineleaf wrap Armour

Vineleaf wraps are each crafted from a single enormous leaf found on magical vines. A vineleaf wrap is inactive until worn for 24 hours. During this time, it grows into the skin, drawing water and nu­tri­ents from its host. Afterward, as a standard action, you can command it to wrap around your body. It adds a +2 natural armour bonus.

Wooden Splint Mail

Similar to bone armour, wood armour is cloth or leather reinforced with strips of wood.
