Equipment

• Melee Weapons : Used to attack targets within 5 ft.

• Ranged Weapons : Used to attack targets at a distance.

• Ammunition : Requires ammunition to be fired. Each weapon with the Ammunition property will describe what type of ammunition it requires. Drawing ammunition is a part of using the weapon to attack unless it has the Loading property. You can spend one minute after a fight to collect up to half of your spent ammunition.

• Finesse : Can use either STR or DEX for attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

• Heavy : Difficult for small creatures to use effectively. Both ranged and melee Heavy weapons have a requirement to use them, 13 STR for melee and 13 DEX for ranged.

• Light : Easier to handle and use with two weapons. You can use an action to attack with your main hand and a bonus action to attack with your off hand. Each hand must have a separate weapon and your off hand does not benefit from your Proficiency Bonus or add the damage from your ability score unless the modifier is negative.

• Loading : Requires time to load before firing. You can fire only one piece of ammunition from a Loading weapon when you use an action, bonus action, or reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of attacks you can normally make.

• Range : Each weapon has its own range, if a weapon does not have an extended range, its range is 5 ft.

• Reach : If the weapon has the Reach property its range increases by 5 ft. This is added to attacks made as well as opportunity attacks made with it.

• Special : Has unique rules governing its use (e.g., thrown, two-handed).

• Thrown : A melee weapon with the ability to be reliably thrown and used for a ranged attack.

• Two-Handed : A Two-Handed weapon required both hands to use it.

• Versatile : Versatile weapons can be used with one or both hands. The damage value increases when used with both hands.

Your class and background determine which weapons, tools, and armor you are proficient with.

Your class grants proficiency with certain weapon types. Proficiency allows you to add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls.

• Objects used as weapons : Any object can be used as an improvised weapon, but some objects are more effective than others.

• Damage : Improvised weapons typically deal 1d4 damage, but the DM may assign a different damage type or amount depending on the object.

• Proficiency : Characters proficient with a similar weapon type can use their proficiency bonus when using an improvised weapon.

• Cost : Silvering a weapon costs 100 gp.

• Effect : Silvered weapons are more effective against monsters that have immunity or resistance to non magical weapons.

• Lance : Has disadvantage when attacking targets within 5 ft and requires two hands when not mounted.

• Net : Restrains creatures hit by it. Creatures can break free with a successful STR check or by dealing 5 slashing damage to the net.

• Armblade : Armblades require a bonus action to extend and a bonus action to retract. While retracted they resemble a normal gauntlet. While extended, only Light or Versatile Melee weapons can be held or risk damage.

• Battle Fists : Battle Fists encase the entire hand, other weapons or objects cannot be held or manipulated while wearing Battle Fists.

• Claws : While in use, only Light or Versatile Melee weapons can be held or risk damage. While using Claws you have a Climbing speed of 20 ft.

• Katar : Katars take the hold hand to hold, other weapons or objects cannot be held or manipulated while using Katar.

• Macuahuitl : target takes 1D4 slashing at the start of their next turn on a hit.

• Boomerang : On a hit or miss the Boomerang returns to your hand.

• Chackram : On a miss the Chakram returns to your hand.

• Meteor Hammer : Though a ranged weapon it immediately returns to your hand after each attack.

• Rope Dart : Though a ranged weapon it immediately returns to your hand after each attack.

You can use a melee weapon as an improvised weapon at disadvantage.

You can throw a melee weapon as a ranged attack, but you use the same ability modifier for both attack and damage rolls.

Some weapons have special properties that affect their use (e.g., reach, finesse).

Proficiency with a weapon allows you to use it more effectively and accurately.

• Light Armor : Offers good mobility but minimal protection. Includes padded, laminated wood, leather, lacquered, and studded leather.

• Medium Armor : Offers moderate protection and mobility. Includes hide, chain shirt, scale mail, banded, and breastplate.

• Heavy Armor : Offers maximum protection but severely hinders movement. Includes ringmail, chainmail, splint, and plate.

• Armor Class (AC) : Your AC determines how difficult it is for enemies to hit you. It is calculated by adding your base AC (determined by your armor type) to your DEX modifier (if wearing light or medium armor).

• Armor Proficiency : Only characters proficient in a type of armor can wear it effectively. Proficiency grants you advantage on ability checks, saving throws, and attack rolls involving STR or DEX while wearing that armor.

• Shields : Shields increase your AC by 2 but can hinder your ability to use weapons or perform certain actions. You can only benefit from one shield at a time.

• Armor Weight : Heavy armor is significantly heavier than light or medium armor, which can affect your movement speed and other abilities.

• Stealth : Some armor types (like heavy armor) impose disadvantage on DEX (Stealth) checks.

• Magic Armor : Some armor is enchanted with magical properties that can provide additional benefits, such as resistance to certain damage types or the ability to cast spells.

• Custom Armor : You can create custom armor by combining different materials or adding modifications.

A tarokka deck has fifty-four cards, each of which has its own name. Forty of them comprise the common deck, which is divided into four suits: swords, coins, stars, and glyphs.

Each suit contains cards numbered one through nine, plus a tenth card that is called the master of that suit. A card can be referred to by its suit designation or by its name. For instance, the three of glyphs is also known as the healer, and the wizard card is also known as the master of stars.

The remaining fourteen cards make up the high deck, which symbolizes the natural forces of the multiverse. These cards are represented by a crown symbol and are the most powerful cards in the deck.

The cards that compose the high deck aren't considered to be one suit, although they are often denoted with a crown icon to mark their importance. Rather, each card is an important power in its own right. If one of these cards comes out in a casting and seems to contradict the prediction of an earlier card, the Vistani always assume that this card takes precedence.

This suit symbolizes aggression and violence. It is the suit of warriors, be they paladins, soldiers, mercenaries, or gladiators. It also symbolizes the power of governments and leaders, whether noble or corrupt.

This suit symbolizes the desire for personal power and control over things beyond the ken of mortals. It is the suit of arcane mages, sages, and intellectuals. It also represents the triumph of magic, science, and reason over religion, mysticism, and superstition.

This suit symbolizes avarice and the desire for personal and material gain. It is also symbolic of gluttony, lust, and obsession. On the side of good, this suit can suggest the accumulation of wealth for the benefit of a charity or a just cause. On the side of evil, it embodies the worst aspects of greed. It speaks to the power of gold, and how that power can build or destroy nations.

This suit symbolizes faith, spirituality, and inner STR. It is the suit of priests and those who devote themselves to the service of a deity, a higher power, or a heightened philosophy. On the side of good, it represents willpower and dedication. On the side of evil, the suit signifies weakness of character, self-doubt, and betrayal of one's ideals or beliefs. It symbolizes health and healing, as well as illness and disease.

Proficiency with a vehicle covers all variations for travel for that mode of transportation. This includes knowledge on how to handle animals and repairing and maintaining vehicles.

In addition Water Vehicle proficiency involves basic knowledge available to sailors such as knots, locations of islands, and assessing weather and sea conditions.

• Speed : Sailing against a strong wind halves movement speed. With no wind, waterborne ships must be rowed. If going downstream, add the speed of the current (Around 3 mph).

• Passengers : A ship fitted with private accommodations can hold 1/5th as many passengers. A hammock can be rented for 5 sp per day and a cabin for 2 gp per day.

• Ship Repair : Repairs can only be made while the ship is berthed. Each 1 hit point restored costs 1 day and 20 gps in materials and labor. If repairs are made in place suited for repairs the time and cost is halved.

Most wealth isn't in coins but in livestock, grain, land, and rights to taxes or resources (like mines or forests). Guilds, nobles, and royalty regulate trade, while chartered companies are granted rights to trade on specific routes or with certain goods. Guilds set prices and control who can offer goods and services. Merchants often trade goods without using currency. The Trade Goods table shows the value of commonly exchanged items.

Scribing takes time and money. In order to scribe one must have proficiency with Arcana and have the spell they desire to scribe prepared throughout the process as well as proficiency with Calligrapher’s Supplies. Part of the cost of the creation process are the material components that are summarized in the cost though your DM will have to determine the availability of certain material components.

Any scribed cantrip works as if the caster was of 1st level.

Using a magic item’s properties might mean wearing or wielding it. A magic item meant to be worn must be donned in the intended fashion: boots go on the feet, gloves on the hands, hats and helmets on the head, and rings on the finger. Magic armor must be donned, a shield strapped to the arm, a cloak fastened about the shoulders. A weapon must be held.

In most cases, a magic item that’s meant to be worn can fit a creature regardless of size or build. Many magic garments are made to be easily adjustable, or they magically adjust themselves to the wearer. Rare exceptions exist. If the story suggests a good reason for an item to fit only creatures of a certain size or shape, you can rule that it doesn’t adjust. For example, drow-made armor might fit elves only. Dwarves might make items usable only by dwarf-sized and dwarf-shaped folk.

When a non-humanoid tries to wear an item, use your discretion as to whether the item functions as intended. A ring placed on a tentacle might work, but a yuan-ti with a snakelike tail instead of legs can’t wear boots.

Use common sense to determine whether more than one of a given kind of magic item can be worn. A character can’t normally wear more than one pair of footwear, one pair of gloves or gauntlets, one pair of bracers, one suit of armor, one item of headwear, and one cloak. You can make exceptions; a character might be able to wear a circlet under a helmet, for example, or to layer two cloaks.

Items that come in pairs—such as boots, bracers, gauntlets, and gloves—impart their benefits only if both items of the pair are worn. For example, a character wearing a boot of striding and springing on one foot and a boot of elvenkind on the other foot gains no benefit from either.

Activating some magic items requires a user to do something special, such as holding the item and uttering a command word. The description of each item category or individual item details how an item is activated. Certain items use the following rules for their activation.

If an item requires an action to activate, that action isn’t a function of the Use an Item action, so a feature such as the rogue’s Fast Hands can’t be used to activate the item.

A command word is a word or phrase that must be spoken for an item to work. A magic item that requires a command word can’t be activated in an area where sound is prevented, as in the area of the silence spell.

Some items are used up when they are activated. A potion or an elixir must be swallowed, or an oil applied to the body. The writing vanishes from a scroll when it is read. Once used, a consumable item loses its magic.

Some magic items allow the user to cast a spell from the item. The spell is cast at the lowest possible spell level, doesn’t expend any of the user’s spell slots, and requires no components, unless the item’s description says otherwise. The spell uses its normal casting time, range, and duration, and the user of the item must concentrate if the spell requires concentration. Many items, such as potions, bypass the casting of a spell and confer the spell’s effects, with their usual duration. Certain items make exceptions to these rules, changing the casting time, duration, or other parts of a spell.

A magic item, such as certain staves, may require you to use your own spellcasting ability when you cast a spell from the item. If you have more than one spellcasting ability, you choose which one to use with the item. If you don’t have a spellcasting ability—perhaps you’re a rogue with the Use Magic Device feature—your spellcasting ability modifier is +0 for the item, and your proficiency bonus does apply.

Some magic items have charges that must be expended to activate their properties. The number of charges an item has remaining is revealed when an identify spell is cast on it, as well as when a creature attunes to it. Additionally, when an item regains charges, the creature attuned to it learns how many charges it regained.

Usually, some element of a trap is visible to careful inspection. Characters might notice an uneven flagstone that conceals a pressure plate, spot the gleam of light off a trip wire, notice small holes in the walls from which jets of flame will erupt, or otherwise detect something that points to a trap’s presence.

A trap’s description specifies the checks and DCs needed to detect it, disable it, or both. A character actively looking for a trap can attempt a Wisdom (Perception) check against the trap’s DC. You can also compare the DC to detect the trap with each character’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score to determine whether anyone in the party notices the trap in passing. If the adventurers detect a trap before triggering it, they might be able to disarm it, either permanently or long enough to move past it. You might call for an Intelligence (Investigation) check for a character to deduce what needs to be done, followed by a Dexterity check using thieves’ tools to perform the necessary sabotage.

Any character can attempt an Intelligence (Arcana) check to detect or disarm a magic trap, in addition to any other checks noted in the trap’s description. The DCs are the same regardless of the check used. In addition, dispel magic has a chance of disabling most magic traps. A magic trap’s description provides the DC for the ability check made when you use dispel magic.

In most cases, a trap’s description is clear enough that you can adjudicate whether a character’s actions locate or foil the trap. As with many situations, you shouldn’t allow die rolling to override clever play and good planning. Use your common sense, drawing on the trap’s description to determine what happens. No trap’s design can anticipate every possible action that the characters might attempt.

You should allow a character to discover a trap without making an ability check if an action would clearly reveal the trap’s presence. For example, if a character lifts a rug that conceals a pressure plate, the character has found the trigger and no check is required.

Foiling traps can be a little more complicated. Consider a trapped treasure chest. If the chest is opened without first pulling on the two handles set in its sides, a mechanism inside fires a hail of poison needles toward anyone in front of it. After inspecting the chest and making a few checks, the characters are still unsure if it’s trapped. Rather than simply open the chest, they prop a shield in front of it and push the chest open at a distance with an iron rod. In this case, the trap still triggers, but the hail of needles fires harmlessly into the shield.

Traps are often designed with mechanisms that allow them to be disarmed or bypassed. Intelligent monsters that place traps in or around their lairs need ways to get past those traps without harming themselves. Such traps might have hidden levers that disable their triggers, or a secret door might conceal a passage that goes around the trap.

Some magic items are indistinguishable from their nonmagical counterparts while others are conspicuously magical. Handling a magical item is enough to give you a sense that it is extraordinary but learning a magic item’s properties isn’t automatic.

The Identify spell is the fastest way to reveal a magical item’s properties. Alternatively, you can focus on one magic item during a short rest while being in contact with the item. At the end of the rest you learn its properties and how to use them (But you do not detect any curses).

Sometimes an item will have a hint such as a command word inscribed upon it or a design reminiscent of a popular feature like a feather for a Ring of Feather Falling. Wearing or tasting an item can give you a good idea of how it works. Other items might require experimentation.

Some magical items require a creature to form a bond - called Attunement - with them before the creature can use the item's magical properties. Without Attunement the creature only gains the non magical benefits of the item unless otherwise stated.

Attuning with an item requires you to spend a short rest focused only on that item while being in physical contact with it (This cannot be the same short rest used to identify the item). This can take the form of practice if the item is a sword, or meditation if the item is wand, or another appropriate activity. If the short rest is interrupted the Attunement fails.

You can be Attuned to no more than three items at a time. Any attempt to Attune to a fourth item fails. You must end an Attunement with another item before. Additionally, you cannot be Attuned to more than one copy of an item. For example, you cannot be Attuned to more than one Ring of Protection at a time.

Your Attunement ends with an item if you no longer satisfy the prerequisites for it, if the item has been more than 100 ft away for at least 24 hours, if you die, or if another creature Attunes to the item. You can voluntarily end the Attunement by spending another short rest focused on the item unless the item is Cursed.

Using a magical item may intel wearing or wielding the item. A magic item meant to be worn must be donned in the intended fashion i.e; boots go on the feet, gloves on the hands, hats and helmets on the head, and rings on the finger. Magic armor must be donned, magic shields must be secured properly to the arm, a cloak fastened about the shoulders, and a weapon must be held.

In most cases a magical item meant to be worn or held will fit a creature regardless of their build.

You can’t wear more than one kind of certain magical items. You can’t normally wear more than one pair of footwear, one pair of gloves or gauntlets, one pair of bracers, one suit of armor, one item of headwear, or one cloak.

Items that come in pairs such as boots, bracers, gauntlets, and gloves impart their benefits only if both items of the pair are worn. For example: having a Boot of Striding and Springing one foot and a Boot of the Elvenkind on the other gains no benefit from either.

Some magic items possess sentience and personality. Such an item might be possessed, haunted by the spirit of a previous owner, or self-aware thanks to the magic used to create it. In any case, the item behaves like a character, complete with personality quirks, ideals, bonds, and sometimes flaws. A sentient item might be a cherished ally to its wielder or a continual thorn in the side.

Most sentient items are weapons. Other kinds of items can manifest sentience, but consumable items such as potions and scrolls are never sentient.

Sentient Magic Items function as NPCs under the GM’s control. Any activated property of the item is under the item’s control, not its wielder’s. As long as the wielder maintains a good relationship with the item, the wielder can access those properties normally. If the relationship is strained, the item can suppress its activated properties or even turn them against the wielder.

A sentient magical item is composed of the following features: one or more magical abilities, a form of communication, senses to perceive the world, an alignment, a personality (More or less), and a special purpose.

A sentient item has a will of its own, shaped by its personality and alignment. If its wielder acts in a manner opposed to the item’s alignment or purpose, conflict can arise. When such a conflict occurs, the item makes a Charisma check contested by the wielder’s Charisma check. If the item wins the contest, it makes one or more of the following demands:

The item insists on being carried or worn at all times.

The item demands that its wielder dispose of anything the item finds repugnant.

The item demands that its wielder pursue the item’s goals to the exclusion of all other goals.

The item demands to be given to someone else.

If its wielder refuses to comply with the item’s wishes, the item can do any or all of the following:

Make it impossible for its wielder to attune to it.

Suppress one or more of its activated properties.

Attempt to take control of its wielder.

If a sentient item attempts to take control of its wielder, the wielder must make a Charisma Saving Throw, with a DC equal to 12 + the item’s Charisma modifier. On a failed save, the wielder is charmed by the item for 1d12 hours. While charmed, the wielder must try to follow the item’s commands. If the wielder takes damage, it can repeat the Saving Throw, ending the effect on a success. Whether the attempt to control its user succeeds or fails, the item can’t use this power again until the next dawn.
