Adventuring Gear

Beyond weapons and armor, adventurers rely on a variety of tools and supplies to survive dungeons, wilderness, and social encounters.

Pre-assembled packs speed up character creation:

• Rope (50 ft): Hempen (1 gp) or silk (10 gp). 2 HP, burst DC 17.
• Healer's Kit (5 gp): 10 uses. Stabilize a creature at 0 HP without a Medicine check.
• Thieves' Tools (25 gp): Required for picking locks and disarming traps. Proficiency adds your bonus to the check.
• Holy Symbol / Arcane Focus / Component Pouch: Replaces non-consumed, non-costed material components for spellcasting.
• Torch: Bright light 20 ft, dim light 20 ft more. Burns for 1 hour. 1 fire damage as an improvised weapon.

If using the encumbrance variant, carrying weight over 5 x STR drops your speed by 10 ft, and over 10 x STR drops it by 20 ft and imposes disadvantage on physical checks, attacks, and STR/DEX/CON saves.
