Equipment

This section provides information on much of the standard equipment that player characters may buy, including statistics for weapons and armor.

Some item names are underlined. You may hover your mouse over these words to see a description of the item.

Money and Economy

The standard forms of currency across the world are copper and platinum, generally stamped into square or rounded coins. Though gold and silver have historically been used as currency, they have fallen out of favor in recent decades due to how easily they can be imbued with harmful enchantments. When they are used as currency, gold and silver tend to hold approximately the same value.

Below is a table giving the value of common materials and items in copper coins, sometimes called copper marks, denoted as c. A copper coin is 1/5 ounce of pure copper. There are fractional coins, sometimes called half-pennies or splinters, that are generally made of iron or bronze. These are rarely used by adventurers.

Common Values

Average day's wage	2c
Gold or silver/oz	50c
Platinum coin (1/10 oz.)	100c
Platinum/oz	1,000c
Mythril/oz	5,000c

• As a very rough rule of thumb, 1c in Lydera has about the value of ~$20 in the real world. Pre-industrial production methods and differing labor standards make this very approximate, but it should be sufficient for Game Masters who need to appraise the value of things on the fly.

Light

• The weapon can be used for the Quick Attack maneuver with reduced penalty, enabling increased mobility or better dual wielding. Semi-light weapons are not considered light if they are wielded alongside a non-light weapon or another weapon of the same type.

Close Combat

• The weapon may be used to deal damage while grappling.

Precise

• The weapon deals damage with Precision instead of Athletics.

Backstabber

• This weapon is keenly designed to strike the vital points of living creatures. Attack and damage rolls for Sneak Attack and Coup de Grace attempts have their difficulty lowered by 1, and the damage value of the weapon is doubled for such attacks.

Armor Piercing

• The weapon is extra effective against armor, applying its bonus against armor to damage rolls as well.

Charge

• The weapon can be used to perform the Charge maneuver while mounted.

Cavalry

• All attacks made with this weapon have the difficulty of attack rolls increased by 1, except for the Charge maneuver. If used while unmounted, the base damage of the weapon is reduced by half.

Polearm

• The weapon increases your Front Defense by 1. This bonus does not apply to your Projectile Defense.

Projectile Weapons

Projectile Weapons

Name	Damage	Strong Against	Accurate Range	Max Range	Ammunition	Special	Price
Sling	8		25	120	Stones, Bullets, or Grenades	One-Handed	-*

Crossbow	11	Chain	50	200	Bolt	Large, Load	10c
Musket	12		30	100	Bullet	Large, Load	125c

*A sling's cost is negligible.

Projectiles

Name	Quantity	Weight	Price
Arrows	20	1 lb.	10c
Bolts	15	1 lb.	10c
Bullets*	10	1 lb.	10c

*Bullets are wrapped in paper and include a pre-measured amount of black powder, incurring the drawbacks of black powder on weapons that use them.

One-Handed

• The weapon can be used with one hand if it has already been loaded. In the case of the sling, you must take one action to load the weapon before attacking if used with one hand.

Load

• The weapon requires two actions to load before it can be fired. These actions do not need to be on the same turn, but they do need to be consecutive. Meaning, the last action of your current turn and the first action of your next turn could be used to load the weapon.

Large

• The weapon cannot be used on horseback or when the wielder does not have steady footing.

Armor Piercing

• The weapon is extra effective against armor, applying its bonus against armor to damage rolls as well.

Throwing Weapons

Thrown Weapons

Name(s)	Damage	Strong Against	Accurate Range*	Special
Small Rock, Grenade, Smoke Bomb, Etc.	0		6
Shield, Stiletto, Flail, Rope Dart, Staff, Projectile Weapons	1		4
Gladius, Rapier, Lance	2		4

Pike, Bardiche, Glaive	3		4	Bulky
Morningstar, Meteor Hammer	4		6	Bulky
War Hammer, Maul, Greatsword	5		4	Bulky
Spear	5		10

* To determine maximum range, add your athletics score to the accurate range.

Armor Piercing

• The weapon is extra effective against armor, applying its bonus against armor to damage rolls as well.

Bulky

• The weapon is very large and awkward to throw, meaning that it uses Athletics instead of Precision to hit.

Armors

Armor

Name	Defense	Type	Weight	Time to Equip	Special	Price
Shield	1*		5 lb.	2 AP	Shield	5c
Tower Shield	2*		15 lb.	3 AP	Shield, Restricting	10c
Gambeson	1	Gambeson	5 lb.	30 seconds	Disguised	10c
Leathers	2	Hardened	15 lb.		1 minute	35c
Hauberk	3	Chain	20 lb.	1 minute	Noisy	45c
Cuirass	3	Plate	25 lb.	1 minute	Noisy	40c
Chain Mail	4	Chain		3 minutes	Noisy, Heavy	80c
Plate Mail	4	Plate		5 minutes	Noisy, Heavy	90c

Shield

• Shields grant a Shield Bonus. Shields only increase the wearer's Front Defense. An arm with a shield equipped cannot be used to wield a weapon or hold an item. Wearing two shields at once applies the Restricting penalty (see below).

Restricting

• Shields with this property increase the difficulty of all attacks and all soul magic rolls made by the wielder by 1. This stacks with itself and with the penalty for wearing two shields; for example, wearing two tower shields would increase roll difficulties by 3.

Disguised

• This armor can be completely disguised by regular clothing and draws no suspicion when worn.

Noisy

• The armor rattles during movement, increasing the difficulty of skill rolls made to keep silent by 1. The weight of the armor also increases the difficulty of skill rolls made to swim by 1.

Heavy

• The armor is especially tiring to wear for long periods of time. The difficulty of exhaustion rolls increases by 1 and the wearer cannot swim. Additionally, the dice pools for all Soulpower rolls made by the wearer are decreased by 1 while the armor is worn due to how it restricts the soul's movement.

Other Equipment

Combat Equipment

Name	Function	Price
Caltrops	Use an action to spread this bag of spikes over a single adjacent space. Walking into that space or performing an action in that space deals 1 damage, 2 if the target does not wear shoes. Can be avoided with a Precision/Stealth roll, difficulty 5, of 2 or higher. Using the slow move action allows a creature to move through the spikes with no risk. The spikes can be recovered after use.	10c
Smoke Bomb	Releases a smoke cloud on impact when thrown with force. Smoke cannot be seen through and covers all adjacent spaces. Disperses in 3 rounds or from a heavy wind.	5c
Grenade	Priming a grenade requires one action, after which it explodes violently on impact. Deals damage to everything within a radius of 2 meters. Roll a dice pool of 5 with difficulty 4 to determine damage. Recount the roll at difficulty 5 for targets that are halfway behind a solid obstacle.	10c
Slick-Oil Flask	When this delicate bottle is thrown at the ground it bursts to fill a single space. Walking into that space or performing an action in that space causes the opponent to slip and be knocked over, interrupting the action. Can be resisted with a precision/balance roll, difficulty 5, of 2 or higher. Using the slow move action decreases the difficulty of the roll by 1. If the oil is exposed to fire, it retains the above properties and combusts for 2 rounds before burning away. Any target that ends its turn in the flaming oil takes 2 damage.	5c
Atlatl	This notched stick acts like an extension to the user's throwing arm, doubling the accurate and maximum range of thrown spears.	1c
Pavise	This shield is too bulky to be used in combat, but it has a large spike that can be driven into the ground. It can be planted into a space for 3 action points and provides a shield bonus to anyone standing in its space. The pavise has its own front arc that is used to determine the shield bonus.	15c
Mantlet	This wall-on-wheels is 1.5 meters tall, 4 meters wide, and can be rolled forwards along flat ground with a speed of 1. It acts like a pavise, but occupies two adjacent spaces and increases defense along its front arc by 2. It also blocks movement.	20c
