General Equipment Tags

These are general tags that can apply to just about any piece of gear. You’ll see them on armor, weapons or general adventuring tools.

• Applied: It’s only useful when carefully applied to a person or to something they eat or drink.
• Awkward: It’s unwieldy and tough to use.
• +Bonus: It modifies your effectiveness in a specified situation. It might be “+1 forward to spout lore” or “-1 ongoing to hack and slash.”
• n coins: How much it costs to buy, normally. If the cost includes “-Charisma” a little negotiation subtracts the haggler’s Charisma score (not modifier) from the price.
• Dangerous: It’s easy to get in trouble with it. If you interact with it without proper precautions the GM may freely invoke the consequences of your foolish actions.
• Ration: It’s edible, more or less.
• Requires: It’s only useful to certain people. If you don’t meet the requirements it works poorly, if at all.
• Slow: It takes minutes or more to use.
• Touch: It’s used by touching it to the target’s skin.
• Two-handed: It takes two hands to use it effectively.
• n weight: Count the listed amount against your load. Something with no listed weight isn’t designed to be carried. 100 coins in standard denominations is 1 weight. The same value in gems or fine art may be lighter or heavier.
• Worn: To use it, you have to be wearing it.
• n Uses: It can only be used n times.
