Weapons & Armor

For an adventurer, the availability of armor, weapons, and the necessary equipment is of paramount importance. This chapter details the various forms of mundane and exotic merchandise that many adventurer's rely on when facing the many threats that the worlds of D&D present.

Armor

The Armor table collects the most commonly available types of armor found in the game and separates them into three categories: Light Armor, Medium Armor, and Heavy Armor.

Armor Class

Your choice in armor determines your base Armor Class, which is the number enemy combatants need to roll, after modifiers, in order to hit you with weapon or spell attacks.

Armor Proficiency

Anyone can don a suit of armor, but only those proficient in an armor’s use know how to wear it effectively. While wearing armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any Ability Check, Saving Throw, or Attack Roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you cannot cast Spells that require somatic or material components.

Armor Type

To reinforce the varying fantasies of armored combatants, while donning armor, you gain a feature based upon the type of armor you've chosen.

Light Armor

If you wear Light Armor, you add your Dexterity modifier to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class. Additionally, while donning Light Armor, you gain access to the following feature:

Lightly Armored. When an attack misses you while donning Light Armor, you can use your reaction to move up to 10 feet from your attacker. This movement does not provoke Attacks of Opportunity. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Medium Armor

If you wear Medium Armor, you add your Dexterity modifier (Maximum of +2) to the base number from your armor type to determine your Armor Class. Additionally, while donning Medium Armor, you gain access to the following feature:

Moderately Armored. When you are hit by an attack while donning Medium Armor, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to your Strength or Dexterity Modifier (your choice). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Heavy Armor

If you wear Heavy Armor, you do not add your Dexterity modifier to your Armor Class. Additionally, while donning Heavy Armor, you gain access to the following feature:

Heavily Armored. While donning Heavy Armor, all non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage taken is reduced by a number equal to your Proficiency Bonus. If you don magical armor, you may reduce magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage as well.

Armor Properties

Skill Restrictions. If the Armor table shows a ✓ in the Acrobatics or Stealth columns, the wearer has disadvantage on any attempts it makes with the given check.

Strength Requirements. If the Armor table shows a number in the Strength column, then a creature must meet this Strength Requirement in order to wield the armor effectively. If a creature wearing a set of armor does not meet its Strength Requirement, their speed is reduced by 10 feet.

Light Armor

Made from supple and thin materials, Light Armor Favors agile Adventurers since it offers some protection without sacrificing mobility.

Padded. Padded Armor consists of quilted layers of cloth and batting capable of protecting your from minor wounds.

Leather. The Breastplate and shoulders of this armor are made of leather that has been stiffened by being boiled in oil. The rest of the armor is made of more flexible materials.

Studded Leather. Made from tough but flexible leather, studded leather is reinforced with close-set rivets or spikes.

Medium Armor

Medium Armor offers more protection than Light Armor, but it also impairs Movement more.

Hid⁠e. This crude armor consists of thick furs and pelts. It is commonly worn by Barbarian tribes and other folk lacking in the knowledge needed to create better armor.

Chain Shirt. A Chain Shirt is worn between layers of clothing or leather to muffle the interlocked metallic chains that make up the bulk of the armor's defenses. This armor offers modest protection to the wearer’s upper body.

Scale M⁠ail. This armor consists of a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish.

Breastp⁠late. This armor consists of a fitted metal chest piece worn with supple leather. Although it leaves the legs and arms relatively unprotected, this armor provides good protection for the wearer’s vital organs while leaving the wearer relatively unencumbered.

Half⁠ Plate. Half Plate consists of shaped metal plates that cover most of the body. It does not include leg protection beyond simple greaves that are attached with leather straps.

Heavy Armor

Of all the armor categories, Heavy Armor offers the most protection. These suits of armor cover the entire body and are designed to stop a wide range of attacks, or at the very least, lessen their blows. Only proficient warriors can manage their weight and bulk.

Ring⁠ Mail. This armor is merely Leather Armor with heavy rings sewn into it to help reinforce the armor. Ring Mail is inferior to Chain Mail, and it's usually worn only by those who can’t afford better armor.

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.

Splint. This armor is made of narrow vertical strips of metal riveted to a backing of leather that is worn over cloth padding. Flexible Chain Mail protects the joints.

Plate. Plate consists of shaped, interlocking metal plates to cover the entire body. A suit of plate includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots, a visored helmet, and thick layers of padding underneath the armor.

Helmets

When donning armor of a type with which you are proficient, you may choose to don a helmet. The Cost and Weight of a helmet is equal to 1/10th that of a given suit of armor. For example, a helmet for a suit of scale mail would cost 5 gold pieces and weigh 4.5 pounds while one for a set of Plate armor would cost 150 gold pieces and weigh 6.5 pounds.

Donning a helmet gives you a -2 to perception checks and your Passive Perception score. Additionally, whenever you suffer a critical hit while donning a helmet, you can use your reaction to turn it into a normal hit. When negating a critical hit in this way, your helmet is damaged or destroyed and must be repaired before you can don it again.

Shields

A Shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. Wielding a Shield increases your Armor Class (AC) by the number shown on the Shield Table. You can benefit from only one Shield at a time.

Additionally, whenever you are hit with a melee weapon attack while wielding a shield, you can use your reaction to attempt to negate the hit. To do so, you must make a Strength (Athletics) check against the attack roll. On a success, you negate the damage entirely. Whether or not you succeed, your shield is damaged or destroyed and must be repaired before you can don it again.

Cumbersome. Due to their unwieldy designs, all attacks with a cumbersome weapon have a -2 to hit. On a hit, however, you deal additional damage equal to your Strength Modifier.

Finesse. When making an Attack with a Finesse weapon, you may use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Hand-To-Hand. When wielding a Hand-To-Hand weapon, attacks count as both weapon attacks and unarmed strikes.

Heavy. In order to properly wield a Heavy weapon, your Strength score must be equal to or greater than 13. If you do not meet this requirement, you have disadvantage on all attack rolls made while wielding a weapon with this property.

Hurled. When wielding this weapon with two hands, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged Attack using the same ability modifier for the Attack and damage rolls that you would use for a Melee Attack. When throwing a weapon in this way, it does not have a longer range.

Light. You may engage in Two-Weapon Fighting when wielding two separate Light weapons at a time, each in one hand. As such, when you take the Attack Action on your turn to attack with a Light weapon in one hand, you can make an additional attack as part of the same Action with the weapon in your off-hand. When doing so, you do not add your ability modifier to the damage of the additional attack.

Loading. You can only fire this weapon a number of times equal to its Loading score before needing to reload. When taking the Attack action, you can reload a weapon with this trait in place of one of your attacks. Alternatively, you can expend half your total movement speed in order to reload your weapon once for free. This reduction can be made once per turn and lasts until the end of your current turn.

Mounted. You must wield Mounted weapons with two hands when unmounted and, when wielding one, you have disadvantage on all attacks within 5 feet of you.

Off-Hand. You can use this weapon to engage in Two-Weapon Fighting with a weapon that lacks the light property as long as this weapon is in your off-hand.

Open-Handed. When wielding an open-handed weapon, you retain enough manual precision to perform simple tasks such as holding an object, opening or closing a door, grappling a creature, etc. Your DM may allow other simple tasks to be added to this list.

Parrying. When you are hit with a Weapon Attack while wielding a Parrying weapon, you can use your reaction to increase your AC against the attack by a number equal to your Proficiency Bonus, potentially causing it to miss.

If you attempt to parry an attack while wielding two separate Parrying weapons, you can roll a d4, increasing your AC by an additional amount equal to the roll.

Range. A weapon that can make a ranged Attack has two numbers in parentheses after the Ammunition, Hurled, or Thrown property representing the weapon's normal and long ranges respectively. When Attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the Attack roll. You can’t Attack a target beyond the weapon’s Long Range.

Reach. When wielding a Reach weapon, both your melee reach and your range for Opportunity Attacks is increased to the value in parentheses at the end of this property.

Siege. This weapon deals double damage to structures and objects.

Thrown. If a weapon has the Thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged Attack. If the weapon is a Melee Weapon, you make this Ranged attack as though it were a Melee Attack.

Two-Handed. This weapon requires two hands when you Attack with it. If wielding this weapon with one hand, you have disadvantage on all attack rolls.

Underwater. When wielding a weapon with this property, you do not have disadvantage on attack rolls made while submerged in water.

Variable. When using a variable weapon to make a Weapon Attack, you may change the damage type of your attack to that of the type in parentheses at the end of this property. You must decide which damage type you are dealing before rolling to attack.

Versatile. This weapon can be used with one or two hands. When wielded with two hands, the damage die of your attack is increased to the value in parentheses at the end of this property.

Equipment

On top of reworking the game's weapons and armor, this supplement has been made to revitalize player's equipment options. The core goals of these changes are to allow player's to utilize the following equipment options in order to set a better foundation for their character's lived fantasy.

In other words, every fantasy is backed by the players equipment. Whether you want to be a sleuthing rogue or a cavaliering privateer or a warden of the wilds, the equipment options available to a player should be able to back each and every one of these play styles.

Clothes & Attire

Although the life an adventurer often calls for one to be clad in armor, there are many more situations beyond mere battle. In addition to any armor or equipment you might carry, its always a good idea to have a quick change of clothes on hand.

Consumables

Whether it be a quick potion or a deadly grenade, the right use of the right item can often mean the difference between life and death. Consumables are items of limited use that are expended when activated.

Coatings

Coatings are a form of Consumable primarily used to apply a variety of effects to one's weapon for a short period of time, though certain Coatings have additional uses as noted below.

As part of a short or long rest, you may expend one use of a Coating, applying it to your choice of one melee weapon or up to 10 pieces of ammunition for 1 hour. All Coatings have an attached number in parentheses denoting the number of uses a single vial has before being entirely expended.

Unlike Potions, Elixirs last until a long rest, though you may only benefit from the effects of one at a time. You may drink an Elixir as an Action, which immediately cancels the active effects of any previously consumed Elixir.

Elixir of Arcane Cultivation. Upon drinking this Elixir, you gain one additional 1st-level spell slot.

Elixir of Vigilance. Upon drinking this Elixir, you gain a +5 bonus to Initiative checks and you cannot be surprised.

Poisons

Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are an illegal trade in most civilized societies, but are a favorite tool among assassins, drow, and other evil creatures.

Poisons come in four types: Applied Poisons, Contact Poisons, Injested Poisons, and Inahled Poisons. These different forms effect how a poison is extracted, handled, and delivered, making certain poisons more desirable for certain situations. A number of poisons are detailed below alongside an attached number in parentheses denoting the number of doses a single vial has before being entirely expended.

Inhaled Poisons

These poisons are powders or gases that take effect when inhaled. As an Action, you may blow the powders or release the gases infused with this poison, subjecting creatures in a 15-foot cube, originating from yourself, to its effects. Using more doses may allow for targeting greater areas. The resulting cloud dissipates immediately. Holding one’s breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body as well.

Burnt Othur Fumes (1). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage, and must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed save, the creature takes 3 (1d6) poison damage. After three successful saves, the poison ends.

Essence of Ether (1). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If their saving throw fails by 5 or more, they fall unconscious while poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.

Ironlung (1). When subjected to this poison, a creature must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. While under the effects of this poison, the creature is sent into a coughing fit and has disadvantage on Constitution saving throws and Dexterity ability checks.

Malice (1). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned and blinded for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Constitution saving throw, ending the effect of the poison on a success.

Potions

Potions are Consumables that can be used to to grant a variety of effects when consumed, such as restoring Hit Points, granting limited, magical abilities, curing afflicting ailments, among others. You may consume a potion on your person as a Bonus Action, but must use an Action to feed a potion to another creature within 5 feet of you.

Potion of Elemental Breath. After drinking this potion, you can use a bonus action to exhale a surge of elemental breath at a target within 30 feet of you. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 damage of the given type listed in parentheses on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The effect ends after you exhale your elemental breath three times or after 1 hour has passed. The damage type of the potion's breath is decided upon the Elixir's initial brewing from the following list: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, Poison, and Thunder.

Potions of Healing. When you drink this potion, you regain hit points. The number of hit points depends on the potion's rarity, as shown in the table below. You may drink this potion as an Action instead of a Bonus Action in order to take the potions maximum amount of healing.

Potion of ...	Rarity	Healing
Minor Healing	Common	2d4+2
Greater Healing	Uncommon	4d4+4
Superior Healing	Rare	8d4+8
Supreme Healing	Very Rare	10d4+20
