ARMOR

Leather. The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are

made of leather that has been stiffened by being boiled in oil. The rest
of the armor is made of softer and more flexible materials.
This is light armor. You add your Dexterity modifier to the base
number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class.
Chain Mail. Made of interlocking metal rings, chain mail includes a
layer of quilted fabric worn underneath the mail to prevent chafing and
to cushion the impact of blows. The suit includes gauntlets.
This is heavy armor, which doesnt let you add your Dexterity modifier
to your Armor Class, but it also doesnt penalize you if your Dexterity
modifier is negative.
Shield. A shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one
hand. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can
benefit from only one shield at a time.

Shortsword. Short swords are some of the most common weapons

found in any martial society, and thus designs are extremely varied,
depending on the region and creator. Most are around 2 feet in length.
Their blades can be curved or straight, single- or double-edged, and wide
or narrow. Hilts may be ornate or simple, with crossguards, basket hilts,
or no guard at all. Such weapons are often used on their own, but can
also be paired as a matched set, or used in conjunction with a dagger or
longer sword.
Warhammer. This weapon consists of a wooden haft and a heavy,
metal head. The head may be single (like a carpenters hammer) or
double (like a sledgehammer). The haft is long enough that you may
wield it one- or two-handed. Though heavy and relatively slow to wield,
warhammers are capable of delivering immense blows, crushing armor
and flesh alike.

RANGED WEAPONS

MELEE WEAPONS

Dagger. A dagger is a fighting knife. Its blade is usually less than 1 foot
long, and can be curved or straight, with one edge or two. Dagger
designs vary widely, and can have many different names (such as a
thrusting dagger being called a dirk).
Greataxe. This two-handed battle axe is heavy enough that you cant
wield it with one hand. The head may have one blade or two, and may
be bearded (meaning hooked or trailing at the bottom) to increase
cleaving power and help pull down enemy shields. The haft is usually 3
to 4 feet long.
Greatsword. This immense two-handed sword is about 5 feet in length.
A greatsword may have a dulled lower blade that can be gripped.
Handaxe. This one-handed axe is short (roughly 1 foot long) and
designed for use with one hand. Handaxes have a variety of alternative
names, including franciscas, tomahawks, and war hatchets. The axe can
also be thrown overhand, making one complete rotation in the air
before biting into the target with the axe head.
Javelin. A javelin is a thin throwing spear about 3 feet in length.
Longsword. This is a straight, two edged sword about 3-1/2 feet in
length with a hilt long enough to fit a second hand if necessary. The
guard is typically a simple cross but may have elaborate defenses.
Mace. A mace is made up of an ornate metal head attached to a simple
wooden or metal shaft. The maces head is usually flanged to cause
more pain or damage. Some more primitive maces are made with stone
bound to a wooden haft with leather straps.
Maul. This massive hammer has a large, flat metal head attached to a
haft roughly 3-4 feet in length, and requires two hands to properly lift
and control. The combination of a long swinging range, and heavy head,
increase the force of the resulting impact allowing for crushing blows
more devastating than those of lesser hammers.
Rapier. A rapier is a slender, sharply pointed sword, ideally used for
thrusting attacks. The sword is overall about 3-1/2 feet in length, and
typically have complex, sweeping hilts designed to protect the hand
wielding the sword.

Longbow. At almost 5 feet in height, this bow allows its user a fairly
long draw, at least to the jaw. A longbow is made up of one solid piece
of carefully curved wood, typically yew, but other woods are also used.
Each time you attack with the bow, you expend one arrow. Drawing an
arrow from a quiver, case, or other container is part of the attack.
Shortbow. A shortbow is made up of a single piece of wood about 3
feet in length. Extra material such as horn nocks on the ends, or builtup handles are sometimes used. Each time you attack with the bow, you
expend one arrow. Drawing an arrow from a quiver, case, or other
container is part of the attack.
Arrows. An arrow is a shafted projectile that is shot with a bow.
Arrows usually consist of a shaft with an arrowhead on the front end,
and with feather fletchings and a nock at the other. Some arrows may
simply use a sharpened tip of the solid shaft, but it is far more common
for separate arrowheads to be made, usually from metal, horn, or some
other hard material. At the end of the battle, you can recover half your
expended arrows by taking a minute to search the battlefield.

CLOTHING

Common Clothes. This set of clothes consists of boots, a wool skirt or

breeches, a sturdy belt, a shirt (perhaps with a vest or jacket), and an
ample cloak with a hood.
Fine Clothes. This outfit includes tailored clothes in whatever fashion
happens to be current in noble courts of that region. Precious metals
and gems are sometimes worked into the clothing, along with elaborate
embroidery, and some outfits may contain impractical concessions to
high fashion.
