===Animal Glue=== | ===Animal Glue=== | ||
| Line 17: | Line 15: | ||
This simple glue is created by extensively boiling animal skin, bones, hooves, horn, and tendons until they turn into a ochre syrup that cools when it hardens. Before you use animal glue, you must heat it until it liquefies. You normally apply it with a brush and hold the pieces together for a minute, at which point it is cooled and hardened. The glue is sufficient to coat 1 square foot of surface, or (because of waste and spills) up to 40 smaller applications of approximately 2 square inches each. Pulling apart a large glued surface (at least 1 square foot) requires a DC 15 Strength check. Pulling apart a small glued surface (anything less than 1 square foot) requires a DC 10 Strength check. Animal glue slowly dissolves in water, reducing the Strength DC needed to break it by 1 per 10 minutes. It softens if heated, even with steam, reducing the Strength DC needed to break it by 1 per minute. | This simple glue is created by extensively boiling animal skin, bones, hooves, horn, and tendons until they turn into a ochre syrup that cools when it hardens.

===Armor Spikes=== | ===Armor Spikes=== | ||
| Line 29: | Line 26: | ||
'''Note:''' Properties and bonuses can never stack. Getting armor spikes of defending seems like a great idea, but the defensive bonus from the armor spikes will not stack with the armor bonus of the armor. Additionally, properties that grant bonuses when wielded only count during rounds in which the armor spikes are actually being used as a weapon or in a grapple, not simply while the armor is worn. | '''Note:''' Properties and bonuses can never stack.

===Backpack, Masterwork=== | ===Backpack, Masterwork=== | ||
| Line 49: | Line 44: | ||
This backpack has numerous pockets for storing items that might be needed while adventuring. Hooks are included for attaching items such as canteens, pouches, or even a rolled-up blanket. It has padded bands that strap across the chest and the waist to distribute its weight more evenly. Like a common backpack, it can hold about 2 cubic feet of material in its main container. When wearing a masterwork backpack, treat your Strength score as +1 higher than normal when calculating your carrying capacity. | This backpack has numerous pockets for storing items that might be needed while adventuring.

===Bag, Waterproof=== | ===Bag, Waterproof=== | ||
| Line 59: | Line 53: | ||
This leather sack sealed with tar or pitch keeps delicate items from being ruined by water. Items kept inside remain relatively dry, making the bag ideal for carrying maps, scrolls, spellbooks, and the like, although the bag is not impervious and can only be completely immersed for 10 rounds before enough water seeps in to ruin such items. | This leather sack sealed with tar or pitch keeps delicate items from being ruined by water.

===Bandoleer=== | ===Bandoleer=== | ||
| Line 69: | Line 62: | ||
This leather belt is worn over one shoulder and runs diagonally across the chest and back. It has small loops or pouches for holding eight objects the size of a flask or small dagger. You can use the "retrieve a stored item" action to take an item from a bandolier.

===Bedroll=== | ===Bedroll=== | ||
| Line 79: | Line 71: | ||
This consists of two woolen sheets sewn together along the bottom and one side to create a bag for sleeping in. Some have cloth straps along the open side so the bedroll can be tied closed while you are sleeping. It can be rolled and tied into a tight coil for storage or transport. Most people use a blanket with the bedroll to stay warm or provide a ground cushion. | This consists of two woolen sheets sewn together along the bottom and one side to create a bag for sleeping in.

| Line 89: | Line 80: | ||
An Elven Thistledown bedroll is both lighter and more comfortable than a standard bedroll. The thistledown filling of the sheets insulates against cold but also breathes to remain comfortable in warmer climates. The filled sheets also provide some cushioning against the ground, making for a more restful sleep. Finally, the scent of the thistledown is a mild soporific, making it easier to fall asleep. | An Elven Thistledown bedroll is both lighter and more comfortable than a standard bedroll.

| Line 149: | Line 134: | ||
These thick leather boots have been softened to flex and conform to the wearer, and come up to the mid-calf. The soles are hard leather with metal studs for treads. Small eyelets have been added to allow heat and water to escape, though this also means they are not waterproof. | These thick leather boots have been softened to flex and conform to the wearer, and come up to the mid-calf.

===Cloak, Fancy (Formal)=== | ===Cloak, Fancy (Formal)=== | ||
| Line 229: | Line 206: | ||
A fancy formal cloak made of silks or other fine cloths is not intended to protect or keep the wearer warm, but rather to make the wearer look good. Formal fancy cloaks are usually embroidered with metallic threads, including ambergold or bloodsilver, and can also use ribs or rings in their construction to make them flow in unexpected ways. These cloaks are not designed for heavy wear, and many noblemen wear them only a few times before discarding them. As a result, it is not uncommon for them to wear out quickly, as the tailors creating them don't bother reinforcing areas of high wear. | A fancy formal cloak made of silks or other fine cloths is not intended to protect or keep the wearer warm, but rather to make the wearer look good.

Both the saving throw bonus and damage reduction are cumulative with other cold weather clothing, though you cannot wear two of the same cold-weather items (e.g. two sets of clothes). | A fur-trimmed cloak is both stylish and warm.

| Line 249: | Line 224: | ||
These cloaks are popular among traveling bards, and each patchwork cloak is unique.

This coat is designed to be fashionable and presentable when in the company of society's upper class. While it is not as flamboyant as many of the clothes commissioned by the noble elite, it is attractive clothing that has the added benefit of being well-constructed and more comfortable than the noble clothing it is meant to emulate.
