A crowbar is a simple iron bar bent to offer a levering hook on one end. A crowbar has the [[Weapon Qualities#Sunder|Sunder weapon quality]] allowing it to be used to perform the Sunder combat maneuver on the seams, joints or hinges of a sized-large or smaller object made from any material. If the object has no seams, joints or hinges, a crowbar provides no benefit. Note that the Sunder weapon quality also increases the wielder's Maneuver Offense by +2 for purposes of Sunder combat maneuvers.

If you want to perform using a [[Perform]] skill associated with a musical instrument (keyboard, percussion, string, or wind), you must have an appropriate musical instrument; otherwise you can't use the skill. The listed cost and weight is for a typical small instrument you could carry by hand, such as a drum, lyre, bell, harp, or flute; larger instruments such as a cello or piano are of course larger and more expensive. | If you want to perform using a [[Perform]] skill associated with a musical instrument (keyboard, percussion, string, or wind), you must have an appropriate musical instrument; otherwise you can't use the skill.

Several common items already count as | Several common items already count as superior tools for particular skills. These are the climber's kit, disguise kit, healer's kit, superior musical instrument, and superior thieves' tools. Therefore, there is no superior climber's kit, superior healer's kit, and so on — those items are already the best available for general checks with the relevant skill. | ||
Some skills have no appropriate tool or | Some skills have no appropriate tool or superior tool — no non-magical item exists that grants a bonus for all uses of that skill. For example, just because a certain perfume is favored by local nobles (granting a +1 circumstance bonus on [[Diplomacy]] checks to influence them) doesn't mean that perfume has the same effect on a member of the thieves' guild, a foreign berserker, or a medusa. Likewise, just because a fake beard woven by dwarves out of the beards of famous dwarves may grant a +1 circumstance bonus on [[Use Magic Device]] checks to emulate the dwarven race doesn't mean the beard has any effect on using that skill to activate elven items or paladin items, or to decipher a written spell. | ||
Individual GMs may want to allow | Individual GMs may want to allow superior tools for other skills at the listed cost. The competence bonus for such a tool should never be more than +1. The tool should either have a limited number of uses (such as the disguise and healer's kits) or only apply to certain aspects of the skill (such as the balancing pole's bonus on [[Acrobatics]] checks to traverse a narrow surface or the magnifying glass's bonus on [[Bargain]] checks for detailed items). | ||
