Equipment Descriptions

Note: Some descriptions were taken from other sources as they were not included in the Pathfinder Core Rules.

Abacus

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This device helps users perform mathematical calculations.

Acid

You can throw a flask of acid as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet.

A direct hit deals 1d6 points of acid damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the acid hits takes 1 point of acid damage from the splash.

Alchemical Grease

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Each pot of this slick black goo has sufficient contents to cover one Medium or two Small creatures. If you coat yourself in alchemical grease, you gain a +5 alchemical bonus on Escape Artist checks, on combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to your CMD to avoid being grappled; this lasts 4 hours or until you wash it off.

Alchemical Solvent

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This bubbling purple gel eats through adhesives. Each vial can cover a single 5-foot square. It destroys normal adhesives (such as tar, tree sap, or glue) in a single round but takes 1d4+1 rounds to deal with more powerful adhesives (tanglefoot bags, spider webbing, and so on). It has no affect on fully magical adhesives, including sovereign glue.

Alchemist's Kindness

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Favored by young rakes and others of means, this is a crystalline powder resembling salt. Mixed with water, it makes a fizzing cocktail that eliminates the effects of a hangover thin 10 minutes of drinking it.

Alchemist's Lab

This lab is used for making alchemical items, and provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Craft (alchemy) checks. It has no bearing on the costs related to the Craft (alchemy) skill. Without this lab, a character with the Craft (alchemy) skill is assumed to have enough tools to use the skill but not enough to get the +2 bonus that the lab provides.

Alchemist's Lab, Portable

Source Adventurer's Armory

This compact version of a full-sized alchemist’s lab provides a +1 circumstance bonus on Craft (alchemy) checks.

Alkali Flask

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This flask of caustic liquid reacts with an ooze's natural acids.

You can throw an alkali flask as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet.

Against non-ooze creatures, an alkali flask functions as a normal flask of acid. Against oozes and other acid-based creatures, the alkali flask inflicts double damage.

Alkali Salt

Source Dungeon Denizens Revisited

These tiny granules can be dissolved in water, creating a slimy material used to coat metallic items such as weapons or armor. Such a coating neutralizes the metal-eating acid of black puddings and gray oozes, protecting the item from 1d3 contacts with an ooze’s acidic touch.

Antiplague

Source Advanced Player's Guide

If you drink a vial of this foul-tasting, milky tonic, you gain a +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against disease for the next hour. If already infected, you may also make two saving throws (without the +5 bonus) that day and use the better result.

Antitoxin

If you drink a vial of antitoxin, you get a +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison for 1 hour.

Altar, Portable

Source Adventurer's Armory

Portable altars are typically made of wood and are ornately carved and decorated. The top of the altar lifts up, and items such as candles, incense, and oil can be stored within.

Animal, Amphibian, Toad (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Diminutive amphibian is primarily kept as a familiar. Toads live in most temperate and warm environments, and eat insects.

Animal, Amphibian, Toad (Vision)

Source Adventurer's Armory

These animals are found in areas of the Mwangi Expanse. They have a psychoactive skin venom which acts as a mild hallucinogen if the toad’s skin is licked, — though breeding programs for these creatures outside of Mwangi produce venomless offspring.

Animal, Bird, Canary

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Diminutive birds usually have bright feathers and sing pleasantly. More pragmatically, they are also used in mines to detect bad air, as their small bodies are more sensitive to such things; the warning they provide gives humanoids a chance to escape before succumbing to the danger.

Animal, Bird, Falcon

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Tiny, long-winged hawk is a popular hunting bird for nobility throughout Avistan, especially in Andoran. Falcons are technically a subset of hawks but are considered more “noble.” Ownership is denied to commoners in many nations with hierarchical monarchies.

Animal, Bird, Hawk

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Tiny, short-winged raptor is also a popular hunting bird, but is associated with lower nobility and those without titles. Hawks are known for their sharp eyesight and powerful dives from the air. Suppliers in Taldor and Cheliax sell the finest specimens.

Animal, Bird, Owl (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny birds of prey are mainly nocturnal and are known for near-silent flight. Owls eat small animals and insects, and can be found anywhere but the coldest places on Golarion.

Animal, Bird, Owl (Verduran)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Owls from the Verduran Forest have a distinct “ruffled feather” look on their heads, making them look like sleepy professors in the daytime.

Animal, Bird, Raven

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny birds are known for their intelligence, and even play games with each other in the wild. They eat insects and can be found in surprisingly varied habitats around the Inner Sea. The ravens of Pezzack are said to be particularly clever; the Chelish governor is happy to export them, hoping they may somehow contribute to sedition abroad.

Animal, Egg

Source Hippogriff: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 2, © 2010, Paizo Publishing, LLC

For those beasts that are hatched from eggs, buying one as an egg is the cheapest means of procuring one. Additionally, being with the creature from the moment it hatches will help beast and owner bond. However, successfully raising an egg, keeping it viable until the creature within does hatch, is a difficult business, particularly with some of the more exotic beasts which require unusual and specific circumstances to incubate.

Type of egg:

• Hippogriff: 200 gp*

Animal, Cat, Cat (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny animals are often kept as pets or familiars. Though small, they are excellent hunters; grain farmers usually keep cats as pest control in crop storage areas. Cats are found in most parts of Golarion, and strays occupy most cities—finding a free cat should pose little challenge.

Animal, Cat, Cat (Osirion Wise-eye)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Osirion wise-eye cats are prized for their stature and deep blue eyes.

Animal, Dog, Guard

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Small dog is bred strictly for combat; breeders favor strength, a thick body, and a low center of gravity. Combat-trained dogs are sold in most large cities in the Inner Sea region. They are popular as sport fighters in Cheliax, though the best specimens are bred in Molthune, where they are used as special infantry.

Animal, Dog, Riding Dog

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Medium dog is bred for carrying Small riders. Breeders select dogs with strong backs, endurance, and a loyal disposition and train them for riding and combat before sale. Reputable breeders can be found in Absalom, Almas, and Katapesh.

Animal, Elephant

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Huge animals are exceptionally strong and are quick learners. They are trained for battle and labor by the Zenj people of the Mwangi Expanse. Most known elephants come from the Mwangi Expanse and represent one of the few steady income sources for Sargava. Their upkeep is exorbitant, so only the richest Inner Sea citizens can afford to house one.

Animal, Horse, Horse/Pony

Source Adventurer's Armory

This Large quadruped is used as a mount and pack animal. Horses can be trained for war but otherwise are skittish around battle. Cheliax and Qadira both produce top quality horses, though they can be purchased in any decent sized city in the Inner Sea.

• A horse is suitable as a mount for a human, dwarf, elf, half-elf, or half-orc.
• A pony is smaller than a horse and is a suitable mount for a gnome or halfling.
• A combat-trained horse can be ridden into combat without danger.

See the Handle Animal skill for a list of tricks known by horses and ponies with war-training.

Animal, Lizard, Lizard (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny animals can be found in all warm regions of Avistan and Garund and are often quite colorful. They eat insects and have the ability to walk up walls and hang upside down.

Animal, Lizard, Lizard (Nex Gecko)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Geckos from Nex are said to be especially intelligent for their kind, even before they become familiars.

Animal, Magical Beast, Pseudodragon

Source Adventurer's Armory

Found in temperate forests across the Inner Sea region, pseudodragons are intelligent enough that Andorens consider their sale slavery. A handful of pseudodragons offer themselves for hire to adventurers; Absalom is the only place to find pseudodragons that are legitimately for hire.

Animal, Magical Beast, Stirge

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny beasts are allegedly sold for indoor defense to rich clients but more often wind up in exotic bloodsports. Despite popular conception, stirges are trainable, but they must be fed fresh blood daily or they turn on their handlers.

Animal, Pack Animal, Donkey/Mule

Source Adventurer's Armory

Working animals are universal, but the animal type varies according to local availability. Elephants carry goods in much of the Mwangi Expanse. Yaks pull loads in mountainous regions. In many other parts of the Inner Sea, donkeys, mules, and oxen pull carts or plows. The donkey market in Katapesh is particularly brisk.

Animal, Primate, Monkey

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny animals are herbivorous and can be found in warm forests and jungles throughout Garund. Monkeys can grasp and carry objects that weigh under a pound. Trained “familiar capuchins” can be purchased in Azir.

Animal, Rodent, Bat (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Bats are Diminutive nocturnal rodent fliers that eat insects and fruit. They rely primarily on sound to navigate rather than sight. They can be found all over Golarion and are absent only in desert and arctic regions. Some cultures keep bat houses near towns and villages to control insect problems.

Animal, Rodent, Bat (Uskwood)

Bats from the Uskwood in Nidal are noted for their matte black fur and large size.

Animal, Rodent, Rat (Common)

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny rodents live everywhere and eat nearly anything. Despite having a reputation as disease-ridden scavengers, domesticated rats are clean, loyal creatures that make excellent familiars.

Animal, Rodent, Rat (Alkenstar Blue)

Source Adventurer's Armory

The famous blue rats of Alkenstar are sold primarily in Katapesh and Nex.

Animal, Rodent, Rat (Dire)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Dire rats are vicious scavengers in the wild. However, dire rats raised in captivity can be trained as loyal pets and protectors. Oppara is home to the primary breeders of domesticated dire rats. Diverse omnivores, they are found anywhere the surrounding habitat allows them to live, including dungeons and underground. Pet dire rats do not have filth fever.

Animal, Rodent, Donkey Rat

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny white rodents (also called capybaras) are native to the Varisian coast. They are common pets and livestock throughout the southern lands.

Animal, Rodent, Weasel

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Tiny animals eat smaller animals and can be found in nearly any environment. They are clever and curious, traits that are magnified when they are kept as familiars. Many varieties of weasel exude a strong musky odor. This description also applies to similar animals, such as ferrets, minks, polecats, and stoats.

Animal, Snake, Constrictor

Source Adventurer's Armory

These Medium reptiles are found chiefly in warm climates. Somewhat aggressive, constrictors squeeze their prey to death before consuming it. Due to their size, these snakes are less popular for traveling spellcasters, but they can be quite helpful in a laboratory.

Animal, Snake, Viper (poisonnous)

Source Adventurer's Armory

This tiny reptile eats small animals and can be found in most temperate and warm environments around Golarion. The bite is painful but not especially dangerous to the average adventurer.

Animal Gear, Bit & Bridle

A bridle is a piece of equipment used to direct a horse. The bridle includes both the headstall that holds a bit that goes in the mouth of a horse, and the reins that are attached to the bit.

Animal Gear, Enraging Whip

Source Dungeon Denizens Revisited

This whip has small caltrops or metal barbs woven into its length and a quartet of metal whistles attached to the fall; when snapped, the whistle sounds like screaming owlbear young. An owlbear’s rider uses this noise to enrage the monster, prodding it to attack the nearest creature. Anyone who attacks an owlbear with such a whip draws its attack in preference to all other targets.

Animal Gear, Falconry Gauntlet

Source Adventurer's Armory

This gauntlet, made from layers of thick leather, is worn on the falconer’s off hand to give a falcon a place to stand before and after a hunt. The gauntlet also has a tassel and a ring attached to the falcon’s tether.

Animal Gear, Harness

Source Adventurer's Armory

This leather or hemp harness allows a holder to restrain and control a domesticated animal. A harness is standard equipment for anyone trying to teach an animal tricks with the Handle Animal skill. Ready-made harnesses are available in most markets for common domesticated animals such as cats, dogs, horses, and oxen, but harnesses can be made for nearly any creature.

Animal Gear, Incubation Stove

Source Dungeon Denizens Revisited

Designed by dwarves, this iron pot-bellied stove is about the size of a halfling. It burns wood, coal, dung, or fungus stalks, and has a large moveable compartment on the outside to hold maturing owlbear eggs. The stoves need constant attention to maintain the right temperature, else the eggs get cooked rather than incubated. Some variations have a spring- or crank-turned device that turns the eggs.

Animal Gear, Saddle (exotic)

An exotic saddle is designed for an unusual mount. Exotic saddles come in military, pack, and riding styles.

Animal Gear, Saddle (military)

This saddle braces the rider, providing a +2 circumstance bonus on Ride checks related to staying in the saddle. If you're knocked unconscious while in a military saddle, you have a 75% chance to stay in the saddle.

Animal Gear, Saddle (pack)

A pack saddle holds gear and supplies, but not a rider. It holds as much gear as the mount can carry.

Animal Gear, Saddle (riding)

If you are knocked unconscious while in a riding saddle, you have a 50% chance to stay in the saddle.

Animal Gear, Owlbear Blinders

Source Dungeon Denizens Revisited

Used in siege warfare, these blinders restrict the owlbear's vision to directly where its head is pointing, helping to stop the owlbear from getting distracted and allowing the rider to focus its attention. This gives the rider a +2 equipment bonus to Ride checks made to control the owlbear, but gives the owlbear a –2 penalty to Perception checks.

Animal Gear, Saddlebags

Saddlebags weigh 8 lbs and hold up to 5 cubic ft. or 250 lb. of gear.

Empty Weight: 8 lb. Capacity: 5 cubic ft./250 lb.

Animal Gear, Stabling

A place to keep your horse or mount while you are gallivanting around town.

Animal Gear, Barding, Thorny breastplate

Source Dungeon Denizens Revisited

This barding is covered in thick metal spikes and is designed to protect the owlbear’s chest, shoulders, and neck, while leaving the limbs mostly free for moving and attacking. It provides a +5 armor bonus to AC, reduces the owlbear’s speed to 20 feet, and adds +1d8 piercing damage to its grapple attacks.

Anvil

Source Advanced Player's Guide

While anvil sizes vary depending on the type of smithing for which they are used, all anvils have the same basic shape and construction. Blacksmith anvils are typically much heavier and larger (100 pounds) than farrier anvils (50 pounds), and they in turn are much bigger than silver- or goldsmith anvils (10 pounds). Many metalworking tasks are impossible without the proper anvil.

Arrow, Grappling

Source Adventurer's Armory

This small grappling hook is designed to be tied to a silk rope and fired from a bow. When fired, it has a range increment of 30 feet. An equivalent item exists for crossbows.

Astrolabe

Source Adventurer's Armory

This device consists of a flat disc upon which two other discs are mounted. The mounted discs can rotate on a central axis, allowing them to spin and move as days pass. The bottom disc represents the latitude of the user; an astrolabe is useless if the user is outside the preset latitude. The upper disc represents the sky, and is filled with astronomical features. Anyone can be shown how to use an astrolabe at night to determine the date and time (which takes 1 minute). When using an astrolabe, you can make a Survival check using your Intelligence modifier instead of your Wisdom modifier to avoid becoming lost.

The bottom disc represents the latitude of the user; the upper disc represents the sky, and is filled with astronomical features. Anyone can be shown how to use an astrolabe at night to determine the date and time (which takes 1 minute). An astrolabe grants a +2 circumstance on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks to navigate in the wilderness (and on Profession [sailor] checks to navigate at sea).

Backpack, Standard

A standard backpack is constructed of water resistant, reinforced leather and holds 1 cubic ft. or 60 lbs. of gear.

Empty Weight: 2 lb.¹ Capacity: 1 cubic ft./60 lb.¹

When made for Medium characters. Weighs one-quarter the normal amount when made for Small characters. Weighs twice the normal amount when made for Large characters. Containers carry one-quarter the normal amount when made for Small characters.

Backpack, Masterwork

Source Adventurer's Armory

This backpack has numerous pockets for storing various items that might be needed while adventuring. Hooks are included for attaching items such as canteens, pouches, other small bags, or even a rolled-up blanket. It has padded bands that strap across the chest and the waist to distribute its weight more evenly. Like a common backpack, it can hold about 2 cubic feet of materials in its main container. When wearing a masterwork backpack, treat your Strength score as +1 higher than normal when calculating your carrying capacity.

Empty Weight: 2 lb.¹ Capacity: 1 cubic ft./60 lb.¹

When made for Medium characters. Weighs one-quarter the normal amount when made for Small characters. Weighs twice the normal amount when made for Large characters. Containers carry one-quarter the normal amount when made for Small characters.

Bag, waterproof

Source Adventurer's Armory

This leather sack sealed with tar or pitch keeps delicate items from being ruined by water. Items kept inside remain relatively dry, making the bag ideal for carrying maps, scrolls, spellbooks, and the like, although the bag is not impervious and can only be completely immersed for 10 rounds before enough water seeps in to ruin such items.

Barding

Barding is a type of armor that covers the head, neck, chest, body, and possibly legs of a horse or other mount. Barding made of medium or heavy armor provides better protection than light barding, but at the expense of speed. Barding can be made of any of the armor types found on Table: Armor and Shields.

Armor for a horse (a Large non-humanoid creature) costs four times as much as human armor (a Medium humanoid creature) and also weighs twice as much (see Table: Armor for Unusual Creatures). If the barding is for a pony or other Medium mount, the cost is only double, and the weight is the same as for Medium armor worn by a humanoid. Medium or heavy barding slows a mount that wears it, as shown on the table below.

Flying mounts can't fly in medium or heavy barding.

Removing and fitting barding takes five times as long as the figures given on Table: Donning Armor. A barded animal cannot be used to carry any load other than a rider and normal saddlebags.

Barding	Movement Modifier
	(40 ft)	(50 ft.)	(60 ft.)
Medium	30 ft.	35 ft.	40 ft.
Heavy	30 ft.*	35 ft.*	40 ft.*

Barrel (empty)

A common barrel is constructed of wood with metal ring reinforcements and holds 10 cubic ft. or 650 lb. of materials. A barrel filled with liquid holds about 75 gallons.

Empty Weight: 30 lb. Capacity: 10 cubic ft./650 lb.

Barbed Vest

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Thin leather flaps keep the hundreds of tiny, fishhook-like needles dotting the surface of this black vest from harming you while you wear it. However, any creature that injures you with a natural or unarmed attack must make a DC 15 Reflex save or take 1 point of damage. Any creature swallows you it takes 1 point of damage each round until it either spits you up, you escape, or you die (at which point the vest has sustained enough damage to no longer serve as a threat). The vest can only be worn over light armor or no armor.

Basket (empty)

A common basket is constructed of wicker and holds 2 cubic ft. or 20 lbs. of materials.

Empty Weight: 1 lb. Capacity: 2 cubic ft./20 lb.

Beast Lure

Source Adventurer's Armory

This light brown oil works similar to Kaava musk (see below) but attracts one specific kind of creature (dogs, giant bees, and so on).

Beast Scent

Source Seekers of Secrets

This is a mixture of scent gland extracts and aromatic herbs that serves as both attractor and olfactory camouflage. It masks the natural scent of a creature with an appealing if pungent musk that is alluring to most animals. Beast-scent provides a +2 circumstance bonus to Handle Animal and wild empathy checks and a –5 penalty to attempts to track the wearer by his original scent. If the tracking creature is following the smell of beast-scent itself, track checks are made at a +10 circumstance bonus instead. A single vial of beast-scent masks the scent of one Medium creature or two smaller creatures; larger creatures require proportionally more to gain the item’s benefits. Beast-scent is rendered inert after 1 hour of exposure to air. Applying a vial is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Bedroll

A bedroll constructed of a layer of durable outer cloth sewn to a softer inner cloth and rolls up and ties to a conveniently carry-able size.

Bell

A common bell.

Bellows

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Bellows are useful for starting fires, providing a +1 circumstance bonus on appropriate Survival checks.

Blackfingers Paste

Source Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Rival Guide.

Developed by followers of Norgorbor, this inky paste aids unskilled poison-users. When smeared on the fingers, a dose of blackfingers paste prevents accidental poisoning while applying poison to a weapon, as if the user possessed the poison use ability. A single dose of blackfingers paste lasts for 1d6 hours, but the black stains the stuff creates on the user’s fingers lasts for days. A single dose of this alchemical item costs 50 gp.

Bladeguard

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This clear resin protects a weapon from harmful attacks from oozes, rust monsters, and similar effects that corrode or melt weapons, rendering the weapon immune for 24 hours. One pot can coat one two-handed weapon, two one-handed or light weapons, or 50 ammunition items. Applying it takes 1 full round. Immersing the weapon in water or similar liquid washes it off.

Blanket, Common

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This warm, woven blanket has straps so it can be rolled up and tied.

Blanket, Winter

This is a fur blanket large enough for one person.

Block and tackle

Source Adventurer's Armory

A simple block-and-tackle pulley, when properly secured, adds a +5 circumstance bonus on Strength checks to lift heavy objects. Securing the pulley requires 1 minute.

Bloodblock

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This gooey, pinkish substance helps treat wounds. Using a dose gives you a +5 alchemical bonus on Heal checks for providing first aid, treating wounds made by caltrops or similar objects, or treating deadly wounds. A dose of bloodblock ends a bleed effect as if you had made a DC 15 Heal check. When treating deadly wounds, using a dose of bloodblock counts as one use of a healer’s kit (and grants the +5 bonus stated above).

Bodybalm

Source Adventurer's Armory

When this pungent yellow powder is boiled in water and given to a creature to drink, it provides the attending healer a +5 alchemical bonus on Heal checks for providing long-term care, treating poison, and treating disease.

Book, Pathfinder Chronicle

Numerous volumes and editions of the Pathfinder Chronicles exist. When used as a reference (an action that typically takes 1d4 full rounds of searching the text), a Pathfinder Chronicle grants a +2 circumstance bonus on a specific Knowledge check. Each Pathfinder Chronicle grants this bonus to a different type of Knowledge, but regardless of which type that particular chronicle is focused on, the overall cost of the book remains the same.

Book, Footprint Book

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This 50-page tome contains accurate drawings of various common animal, humanoid, and monster tracks, as well as notes on stride length, tread depth, and similarly useful information. The book gives you a +2 circumstance bonus to identify a creature by its tracks, though the use of shoes makes identifying many humanoids difficult or impossible. Though the book can’t help you identify unique individuals, it can help you tell an ogre footprint from a troll footprint, or an elf's track from an orc's. Books sold in different areas may have different footprints, depending on what creatures are common to that location.

Book, Portrait Book

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This 100-page book contains face drawings of male and female dwarves, elves, gnomes, half-elves, half-orcs, halflings, and humans. By selecting an appropriate drawing and adding hair, beard, or other small features such as moles or scars, even a poor artist can quickly create a reasonable likeness of a specific person— for example, an inquisitor making wanted posters of a half-elven witch.

Book, Prophecies of Kalistrade

Source Adventurer's Armory

This is the most frequently published book in Druma. It details the extremely strict dietary, sexual, and clothing restrictions followers must follow.

Book, Spellbook, Wizards Traveling

Source Adventurer's Armory

A traveling spellbook is lighter and less cumbersome than its full-size counterpart. It has 50 pages.

Book, Spellbook, Wizard's

A spellbook has 100 pages of parchment, and each spell takes up one page per spell level (one page each for 0-level spells).

Bottle, Glass

A glass bottle holds 1/2 pint and weighs 1.5 lb. when full.

Empty Weight: - Capacity: 1/2 pint / 1/5 lb.

Bucket (empty)

A simple bucket holds 1 cubic ft. or up to 65 lb. of liquid or material and when full. A bucket filled with liquid holds about 7 gallons.

Empty Weight: 2 lb. Capacity: 1 cubic ft./65 lb.

Buoy, Common

Source Advanced Player's Guide

A buoy is used to mark a specific spot in lakes, rivers, or similar bodies of water making it possible for you to return to that location a later date.Each includes a float (typically an air-filled bladder or sealed gourd), a 200-foot length of twine, and 15-pound stone used as an anchor. The float is usually painted a vivid color, and may have a small f lag to attract attention.Though anchor buoys prove quite resilient to normal weather and tides, they offer little challenge to intelligent creatures determined to sabotage them.

Buoy, Superior

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This buoy has a spherical or ovoid hollow metal float typically copper, a length of chain rather than twine, and a metal anchor rather than a weight. It is otherwise the same as a common buoy.

Butterfly Net

Source Advanced Player's Guide

One end of this 6-foot-long pole supports a wide metal hoop covered by a thin mesh net. You can use this to sift objects out from material capable of passing through the net such as sand or water. You can also use a butterfly net to capture Fine or Diminutive creatures as if it were a net (weapon), though you don’t need to re-fold the butterfly net if you miss, and you use the handle of the butterfly net like you would the rope of a net weapon.

Cage

Source Adventurer's Armory

This secure, portable enclosure is used to hold creatures—generally animals, but a large enough cage can hold anything. Cages are made from iron, wood, or bamboo, depending on local customs and available materials.

Caltrops

A caltrop is a four-pronged metal spike crafted so that one prong faces up no matter how the caltrop comes to rest. You scatter caltrops on the ground in the hope that your enemies step on them or are at least forced to slow down to avoid them. One 2-pound bag of caltrops covers an area 5 feet square.

Each time a creature moves into an area covered by caltrops (or spends a round fighting while standing in such an area), it runs the risk of stepping on one. Make an attack roll for the caltrops (base attack bonus +0) against the creature. For this attack, the creature's shield, armor, and deflection bonuses do not count. If the creature is wearing shoes or other footwear, it gets a +2 armor bonus to AC. If the attack succeeds, the creature has stepped on a caltrop. The caltrop deals 1 point of damage, and the creature's speed is reduced by half because its foot is wounded. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours, until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check, or until it receives at least 1 point of magical healing. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it steps on a caltrop. Any creature moving at half speed or slower can pick its way through a bed of caltrops with no trouble.

Caltrops may not work against unusual opponents.

Caltrops, Vicious

Source Goblins of Golarion

These specially modified caltrops have clusters of needle-sharp spines that are slightly longer and more brittle than those on normal caltrops. Like standard caltrops, a 2-pound bag of vicious caltrops covers a 5-foot-square area. Vicious caltrops work just like normal caltrops, save that they have an attack bonus of +4, do 1d2 points of damage, and require a DC 20 Heal check to fully treat.

Candle

A candle dimly illuminates a small area, increasing the light level in a 5-foot radius by one step (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A candle cannot increase the light level above normal light. A candle burns for 1 hour.

Candle, Helmet

Source Adventurer's Armory

These devices consist of a helmet with a short, thin spike on top upon which a candle is stuck, freeing your hands for other tasks.

Candle, Insectbane

This heavily scented candle smells pleasant to humans and humanoids but is repellent to insects. Non-monstrous vermin will not approach within a 5-foot radius of a burning candle. It burns for 1 hour.

Price: 1 sp; Weight: -

Candle Mold

There are several different versions of these large wooden molds. A single mold can form eight tapers, two pillar candles, or twelve votive candles. The mold does not come with wax. It requires Craft (candlemaking) to use properly.

Price: 12 sp; Weight: 5 lb.

Candelabra

Candelabras are designed to hold four, eight, or sixteen candles in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement. Four candles illuminate a 10-foot radius, eight candles illuminate a 15-foot radius, while sixteen candles illuminate a 20-foot radius.

Price: 10/20/25 gp; Weight: .5/1/3 lb.

Canvas

Canvas is an extremely heavy-duty plain-woven fabric used for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items for which sturdiness is required. It is also popularly used by artists as a painting surface, typically stretched across a wooden frame. The cost shown is per square yard.

Case, Map or Scroll

A wood and bone tube used for holding scrolls or maps.

Cauldron

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This iron pot may have a hook for hanging over a fire, but versions intended for traveling usually have three or four legs to let it stand over a fire. It holds approximately one gallon, and can be used for cooking, potion-making, and other similar activities.

Chain

Chain has hardness 10 and 5 hit points. It can be burst with a DC 26 Strength check.

Chain, Breakaway

Source Adventurer's Armory

These masterwork chains are easy to break, even though they look like normal chains (Perception DC 25 to notice the difference). A DC 10 Strength check breaks them instantly.

Chair, Folding

Source Adventurer's Armory

This simple folding chair has a wooden frame and canvas seat and back. It folds up easily and fits in a handy carrying bag. The chair can support up to 250 pounds with ease.

Chalk

1 piece of writing chalk.

Chalkboard

Source Advanced Player's Guide

A wooden frame approximately the same size as a large book surrounds this thinly sliced piece of polished black stone. Rubbing a simple damp cloth over the slate erases anything scribed with chalk on its surface.

Charcoal

Source Seekers of Secrets

Clothing, Footwear, Cleats

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Useful on any terrain where traction may be a concern, cleats are shoes with spikes or hooks attached to the soles. Cleats reduce the penalty for walking over slick surfaces by 50%; for example, walking across ice normally costs 2 squares for every square of movement, but with cleats it costs only 1.5 squares for every square. Cleats cause damage to any type of finished flooring.

Clothing, Footwear, Snowshoes

Source Advanced Player's Guide

These high-tension nets of rope or sinew in wooden frames which are lashed to the feet spread your weight across the snow, making you much less likely to break through the crust and rendering walking much easier. Snowshoes reduce the penalty for walking through heavy snow by 50%; for example, if moving through snow normally costs you 2 squares of movement per square traveled, snowshoes reduce this cost to 1.5 squares per square traveled.

Clothing, Furs

Source Advanced Player's Guide

The most basic of cold-weather gear, animal furs serve to keep their wearers warm. Wearing enough fur to cover the body provides a +2 bonus on Fortitude saves to resist cold weather. This does not stack with any bonuses gained from the Survival skill.

Clothing, Hats

Hats of various styles appear in all cultures. Ranging from the turban to the tricorn to the furred cap, a hat can be a simple covering for the head. Particular hats are sometimes mandatory for social or religious sects.

Clothing, Hot Weather Outfit

This does not stack with any bonuses gained from the Survival skill.

Clothing, Mask

Source Adventurer's Armory

Source Seekers of Secrets

This bandoleer holds six pouches along its length and a satchel at the hip. Each pouch has a stiff leather flap that can be secured against jostling with a clasp (requiring a move action to open or close) or left unfastened for easier access. The pouches and satchel each contain a number of loops and ties for further securing equipment. The sash buckles at the shoulder, and can be freed with a sharp tug in an emergency as a move action.

Clothing, Scarf

Well known as entertainers with a flair for the dramatic, Varisians often employ seductive garb and entrancing props in their performances. Scarves of colorful cloth or transparent silk, often embroidered with elaborate scenes, are favorite accessories.

Clothing, Scarf, Pocketed

Source Adventurer's Armory

An elaborate design disguises several small pockets on one side of this scarf. This scarf grants you a +4 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made to hide objects on your body. This bonus does not stack with the bonus wearing heavy clothing provides but does stack with bonuses for attempting to hide small objects.

Clothing, Scarf, Reinforced

Source Adventurer's Armory

One side of this 8-foot-long scarf is reinforced with chain links and metal plates. While not enough to provide a benefit to Armor Class, these versatile scarves can be used like a length of chain to climb short distances or bind an enemy.

Sneaks and thieves throughout Golarion know the value of a good disguise. The ability to remove that disguise in a hurry, thus revealing the next layer of disguise, is nearly as valuable. Tear-away clothing is generally loose fitting and long to allow another layer of clothing to be worn underneath. The seams and catches on this clothing are designed to break easily, making it a simple matter (a standard action) to remove these items and walk away with none the wiser.

Much like hats, vests appear in almost all cultures. Though the basic design remains the same, they vary wildly in cut, color, and function. The difference between the court vests of Taldor and the dancing vests of Varisia is quite striking.

Compass

Source Advanced Player's Guide

An ordinary compass that points to the magnetic north pole grants its user a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks made to avoid becoming lost. It also can be used to grant the same bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) checks made to navigate underground.

Cup, false-bottomed

Source Adventurer's Armory

The tiny compartment in the thick bottom of this cup is an excellent place to store a small item or substance. The most insidious are designed with a weighted catch that opens when the cup is tilted back, releasing the hidden substance hidden into the contents of the cup. Spotting the secret compartment in an empty cup is a DC 15 Perception check.

Darkflare

Created by the drow-hunting Lantern Bearers, this alchemical flare explodes in black sparks 1 round after lighting. Any creature in the same square as a darkflare when it explodes must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be unable to see with darkvision for 1d10 rounds.

The effect ends 1 day after more nutritious food is eaten.

Food & Lodging (aka Monthly Cost of Living)

An adventurer's primary source of income is treasure, and his primary purchases are tools and items he needs to continue adventuring—spell components, weapons, magic items, potions, and the like. Yet what about things like food? Rent? Taxes? Bribes? Idle purchases?

You can certainly handle these minor expenditures in detail during play, but tracking every time a PC pays for a room, buys water, or pays a gate tax can swiftly become obnoxious and tiresome. If you're not really into tracking these minor costs of living, you can choose to simply ignore these small payments. A more realistic and easier-to-use method is to have PCs pay a recurring cost of living tax. At the start of every game month, a PC must pay an amount of gold equal to the lifestyle bracket he wishes to live in—if he can't afford his desired bracket, he drops down to the first one he can afford.

Destitute (0 gp/month): The PC is homeless and lives in the wilderness or on the streets. A destitute character must track every purchase, and may need to resort to Survival checks or theft to feed himself.

Poor (3 gp/month): The PC lives in common rooms of taverns, with his parents, or in some other communal situation—this is the lifestyle of most untrained laborers and commoners. He need not track purchases of meals or taxes that cost 1 sp or less.

Average (10 gp/month: The PC lives in his own apartment, small house, or similar location—this is the lifestyle of most trained or skilled experts or warriors. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 1 gp or less from his home in 1d10 minutes, and need not track purchases of common meals or taxes that cost 1 gp or less.

Wealthy (100 gp/month): The PC has a sizable home or a nice suite of rooms in a fine inn. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 5 gp or less from his belongings in his home in 1d10 minutes, and need only track purchases of meals or taxes in excess of 10 gp.

Extravagant (1,000 gp/month): The PC lives in a mansion, castle, or other extravagant home—he might even own the building in question. This is the lifestyle of most aristocrats. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 25 gp or less from his belongings in his home in 1d10 minutes. He need only track purchases of meals or taxes in excess of 100 gp.

Game, Board

Source Adventurer's Armory

Several kinds of board games are common across the Inner Sea region. Siege, a deeply strategic game wherein each player tries to surround the other’s pieces, is popular primarily with older adults, while more chaotic games like Wyvern’s Race and Doppel are tavern favorites. Pits and Perils has become increasingly popular in Cheliax and Taldor among the elite—those in the lead get to dictate (usually symbolic) penalties for those bringing up the rear.

Game, Cards, Fortune-Teller's Deck

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This deck of illustrated cards is used by those in tune with the spirit world to predict the future—and by charlatans to take money from gullible or desperate people. A common deck only has simple drawings on parchment scraps or simple wooden plaques. A quality fortune-teller’s deck is usually of quality wooden plaques with painted color images; it is suitable as a focus for the augury spell, and provides a +1 circumstance bonus on Profession (fortune-teller), Profession (medium), and similar Profession checks. A masterwork fortune-teller’s deck may be wood, ivory, or even metal, with painted or carved images and often highlighted with gold inlays or tiny gems; it has all the benefits of a quality deck, except it provides a +2 circumstance bonus on the listed skill checks.

Game, Cards, Harrow Deck

Source Adventurer's Armory

This is a traditional fortune-telling deck of cards used by Varisian soothsayers and seers. Each Harrow deck consists of 54 cards divided into six suits of nine cards. The six suits correspond to the six ability scores (hammer for Strength, key for Dexterity, shield for Constitution, book for Intelligence, star for Wisdom, and crown for Charisma). Each card in a suit further ties in with one of the nine alignments, corresponding to the location of the symbol on the face of the card. In addition, each card has its own unique name, independent of its suit and alignment.

It takes 2d4 minutes to perform a harrowing (an attempt to divine the future of a specific creature) with a Harrow deck. The exact results of any harrowing should be determined by the GM, who can use an actual Harrow deck to perform the divination.

If you don’t have an actual Harrow deck to draw cards from in game, but you need to determine the suit and/or alignment of a card, you can use dice to determine the result.

Roll 1d6 to determine the suit:

d6	Suit
1	Hammer
2	Key
3	Shield
4	Book
5	Star
6	Crown

Roll 1d10 to determine alignment:

Game, Cards (marked)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Whether bent, colored, or scratched, marked cards allow an informed user to know what’s on the front of the card by viewing the mark on the back. Realizing that the cards are marked requires a DC 25 Perception check.

Game, Dice (loaded)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Most loaded dice are weighted—a heavier substance is included opposite the desired number. You can spot marks from tampering with a die in this fashion with a DC 15 Appraise or Perception check. Higher-quality dice (such as wooden dice carved around a naturally heavy inclusion) have DCs ranging from 20 to 30.

Game, Puzzle Box

These boxes feature moving parts, secret panels, or unusual codes and locking mechanisms. Depending on the box, a Disable Device, Knowledge (engineering), Linguistics, or simple Intelligence check might open it. The DC of the check varies with the complexity of the box but is typically 15 or 20 (retry once per day). Multiple skill checks might be necessary for different stages of the puzzle. If the puzzle box was constructed with the intention that one specific person should be able to open it, that person gets a +5 circumstance bonus on the check.

Goggles, Smoked

Source Advanced Player's Guide

These spectacles have lenses made of smoked glass that help protect against creatures with gaze attacks. You are always treated as averting your gaze when dealing with gaze attacks, and you gain a +8 circumstance bonus on saving throws against visual-based attacks (any attack that a blind creature would be immune to). You have a –4 penalty on Perception checks while wearing the goggles, and all opponents are treated as having concealment (20% miss chance).

Grenade, Fuse

Source Adventurer's Armory

This hollow clay container holds a small charge of explosive power and a slow burning fuse. Lighting the fuse is a move action; 1d3 rounds later the grenade explodes, dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage and 1d6 fire damage in a 10-foot burst (DC 15 Reflex save for half ). You throw a fuse grenade as if it were a splash weapon.

Hammock

Source Adventurer's Armory

The milk of this vibrantly green cactus, when mixed with resins and other ingredients, congeals into sticky, black chunks with an exceedingly sour taste. Though pesh comes in several different varieties, refined pesh is both the most potent and expensive type.

Taking refined pesh gives a person 15 temporary hit points for 1 hour, a +2 morale bonus on saves versus fear effects for 1 day, and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and Wisdom for 1 day. Pesh is addictive (Fortitude DC 10 to resist), and long-term users suffer Dexterity and Wisdom damage.

Note: The Gamemastery Guide has different rules for Pesh than what is included in Adventurer's Armory. Without clarification from Paizo it is up to the GM to determine which to use. See Pesh on the Afflictions page for more details regarding handling addiction and other effects.

Herb/Plant, Pesh (Gamemastery Guide version)

Herb/Plant, Shoanti Barbarian Chew

Source Adventurer's Armory

This bitter red chew comes from the dried leaves of galtroot, a stunted bush found in the Cinderlands. It stains the teeth dark crimson but also increases the duration of barbarian rage entered into during the next hour by 1 round.

Herb/Plant, Tobacco

Source Adventurer's Armory

These crushed and shredded leaves range in color from peppery red to black; users can either smoke or chew them. Tobacco users experience a certain level of calm and are more easily able to shrug off hunger pangs. Tobacco is addictive (Fort DC 10 to resist), and long-term users suffer Constitution damage.

Herb/Plant, Wolfsbane

Source Adventurer's Armory

The root of this tall plant with blue flowers is toxic, but herbalists use it in low doses to reduce pain and regulate the heart. Folklore says it can help a victim of lycanthropy throw off the curse.

Herb/Plant, Woundweal

Source Adventurer's Armory

This gritty black paste is a poison that interferes with an afflicted creature’s ability to recover from injuries. All Heal checks applied to the creature suffer a –10 penalty. In addition, anyone using magical healing on the target must make a DC 25 caster level check to succeed.

Type poison, injury; Save Fortitude DC 18

Onset 1 round; Frequency 1/day

Effect impaired healing (see above); Cure 2 consecutive saves

Hirelings- Trained

The amount given is the typical daily wage for mercenary warriors, masons, craftsmen, cooks, scribes, teamsters, and other trained hirelings. This value represents a minimum wage; many such hirelings require significantly higher pay.

Hirelings- Untrained

The amount shown is the typical daily wage for laborers, maids, and other menial workers.

Holy Symbol, Silver or Wooden

A holy symbol focuses positive energy and is used by good clerics and paladins (or by neutral clerics who want to cast good spells or channel positive energy). Each religion has its own holy symbol.

Unholy Symbols: An unholy symbol is like a holy symbol except that it focuses negative energy and is used by evil clerics (or by neutral clerics who want to cast evil spells or channel negative energy).

Holy Text

This is a non-magical religious text, containing scripture, stories, and teachings of a particular faith. The price given is for a very simple copy, with few, if any, illuminations. Fancier versions increase drastically in price.

Price: 10+ gp; Weight: 3+ lb.

Holy Water

Holy water damages undead creatures and evil outsiders almost as if it were acid. A flask of holy water can be thrown as a splash weapon.

Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet. A flask breaks if thrown against the body of a corporeal creature, but to use it against an incorporeal creature, you must open the flask and pour the holy water out onto the target. Thus, you can douse an incorporeal creature with holy water only if you are adjacent to it. Doing so is a ranged touch attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

A direct hit by a flask of holy water deals 2d4 points of damage to an undead creature or an evil outsider. Each such creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of damage from the splash.

Temples to good deities sell holy water at cost (making no profit). Holy water is made using the bless water spell.

Horn, signal

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Sounding a horn requires a DC 10 Perform (wind instruments) check and can convey concepts such as “Attack!”, “Help!”, “Advance!”, “Retreat!”, “Fire!”, and, “Alarm!” The report of a signal horn can be clearly heard (Perception DC 0) up to a half-mile distant. For each quarter-mile beyond, Perception checks to hear the horn suffer a –1 penalty.

Hourglass

Source Advanced Player's Guide

The standard hourglass takes 1 hour to empty the sand from the upper chamber; larger and smaller timers exist which mark off time in increments as short as 6 seconds.

Ink

Ink in colors other than black costs twice as much.

Ink, Ghost

Source Seekers of Secrets

Pale blue when wet, ghost ink quickly dries to near transparency 1 minute after application. Ghost ink is most often used to blaze trails and mark locations in a subtle manner. The pigment shines with a warm red glow under the light shed by fire beetle glands and sunrods, but under optimal normal conditions (such as a pale surface like parchment or a plaster wall) can only be noticed with a successful DC 25 Perception check. One vial of ghost ink is the size of a potion vial and sufficient for writing a page’s worth of characters.

Ink, glowing

Source Adventurer's Armory

Glowing ink emits a faint but steady light (typically red or green) that allows you to read it even in normal darkness. You have a +2 bonus on Perception checks to locate objects with glowing ink. Mixing glowing ink with marker dye (see below) makes the dye glow in the dark until it fades.

Ink, invisible

Source Adventurer's Armory

Messages written with invisible ink only become visible under specific circumstances. Revealing the secret message with the proper triggering agent is a full-round action per page of text.

Simple: This ink is keyed to a single, fairly common trigger, such heat or vinegar. A successful DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check takes 1 hour and reveals the message without the proper trigger.

Average: This ink is keyed to either two common triggers or one uncommon trigger, such as blood or acid. A successful DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check takes 1 hour and reveals the message without the proper trigger.

Good: This ink is keyed to either two uncommon triggers or one rare trigger, such as a specific vintage of wine or a specific kind of monster’s blood. A successful DC 30 Craft (alchemy) check takes 1 hour and reveals the message without the proper trigger.

Superior: This ink is keyed to either two rare triggers or one unique trigger, such as the blood of a specific person. A successful DC 35 Craft (alchemy) check takes 1 hour and reveals the message without the proper trigger.

Inkpen

A pen for writing.

Iron Spike

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This foot-long iron spike is used to keep doors open or closed and to secure ropes for climbing. Hearing a spike being hammered in requires a DC 5 Perception check.

Jewelry

Source Adventurer's Armory

The cost of jewelry varies wildly by its quality. Many cultures, particularly Varisians, consciously use jewelry as a form of portable wealth, most notably in belts and bangles made from coins. A commoner’s ornaments may only be worth a few copper pieces, a tradesman’s a few silver pieces, and a merchant’s a few gold pieces, while nobles rarely wear jewelry worth less than 100 gp.

Jewelry, false

Source Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide

Favored by rogues in statuesque Magnimar, these adornments hide tiny secret compartments. False jewelry grants a +8 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks to hide a tiny object on your person (does not stack with the bonus for hiding very small objects) and negates the +4 bonuses searchers receive when frisking you. False jewelry costs 20 gp in addition to the value of the ornament being fitted with the secret compartment.

Jug, Clay

This basic jug is fitted with a stopper and holds 1 gallon of liquid.

Empty Weight: 1 lb. Capacity: 1 gallon/8 lb.

Key, copy

Source Adventurer's Armory

A craftsman can make a working copy of a key in an hour (making a duplicate that looks exactly like the original requires a skilled smith, a DC 25 Craft check, and one day).

Key, skeleton

Source Adventurer's Armory

Many door locks have a similar design and thus can be unlocked by a similar key. A skeleton key may be tried on any standard door lock that uses a key, even if you don’t have the Disable Device skill. You use the key’s Disable Device bonus of +10 rather than your own total; you cannot take 10 when using a skeleton key. The key only gets one roll for any particular lock. If the roll fails, the key is unable to open or close that lock. Inferior skeleton keys may only have a +5 bonus.

Key, wax blank

Source Adventurer's Armory

This two-sided case contains a soft wax that readily takes and keeps an impression of an object pressed between the two halves, creating an excellent mold of the item. A skilled artisan may then make a copy of the item from the mold (and destroying the mold in the process). Making an impression surreptitiously requires a DC 25 Sleight of Hand check.

Kit, Alchemist's

Source Advanced Player's Guide

An alchemist with an alchemist’s kit is assumed to have all the material components needed for his extracts, mutagens, and bombs, except for those components that have a specific cost. An Alchemist’s kit provides no bonuses on Craft (alchemy) checks.

Kit, Climber's

These crampons, pitons, ropes, and tools give you a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks.

Kit, Cooking

Source Adventurer's Armory

Cooking kits are portable, collapsible pots and pans that double as a set of four bowls and plates, all fitting together in a compact package.

Kit, Disguise

The kit is the perfect tool for disguise and provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks. A disguise kit is exhausted after 10 uses.

Kit, Healer's

This collection of bandages and herbs provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks. A healer's kit is exhausted after 10 uses.

Kit, Juggler's

Source Adventurer's Armory

A juggler’s kit includes multiple sets of well-balanced objects, such as balls, clubs, knives, rings, and torches.

Kit, Leeching

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This sturdy ceramic jar has a heavy lid with a few tiny holes to let air in. It is normally half-filled with water and contains four adult leeches, each about 6 inches long. A leeching kit grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks to treat poison. Used for medicinal bloodletting, a leech can survive for 6 months between feedings.

Kit, Map Maker's

Source Adventurer's Armory

This small kit contains a simple slate with a grid carved into its surface and a number of different colored pieces of chalk. Anyone using this kit to draw a map as they travel receives a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival skill checks to avoid becoming lost.

Kit, Symptom

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This small wooden box has many tiny compartments filled with items useful if you want to feign a sickness as well as a handy reference book outlining common indicators for some of the more feared virulent diseases. The kit includes such things as false pustules, pills that cause the person chewing them to foam at the mouth, and herbal concoctions designed to induce fevers or vomiting. Using a symptom kit grants you a +5 circumstances bonus on Disguise checks made for the purpose of simulating illness. A symptom kit is exhausted after 10 uses.

Kite

Though popular in Absalom, kites are rare in the rest of the Inner Sea region. Simple kites cost only a few coppers, while ornate silken kites cost thousands of gold pieces.

Ladder, 10-foot

A 10' ladder.

Ladder, folding

Source Adventurer's Armory

The hook, pole, and rungs of this 10-foot ladder are hinged, allowing you to fold it into a 3-foot-by-1-foot-by-1-foot bundle. Folding or unfolding it is a standard action.

Lamp/Lantern (common)

A lamp illuminates a small area, providing normal light in a 15-foot radius and increasing the light level by one step for an additional 15 feet beyond that area (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A lamp does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. A lamp burns for 6 hours on one pint of oil. You can carry a lamp in one hand.

Lamp/Lantern (bullseye)

A bullseye lantern provides normal light in a 60-foot cone and increases the light level by one step in the area beyond that, out to a 120-foot cone (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A bullseye lantern does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. A lantern burns for 6 hours on one pint of oil. You can carry a lantern in one hand.

Lamp/Lantern (hooded)

A hooded lantern sheds normal light in a 30-foot radius and increases the light level by one step for an additional 30 feet beyond that area (darkness becomes dim light and dim light becomes normal light). A hooded lantern does not increase the light level in normal light or bright light. A lantern burns for 6 hours on one pint of oil. You can carry a lantern in one hand.

Lamp/Lantern (waterproof)

Source Adventurer's Armory

Meant to shelter its flame from both water and wind, this lantern treats severe winds as strong winds, windstorms as severe winds, and hurricanes as windstorms for the purpose of determining whether they extinguish its flame. It holds enough air to burn underwater for 5 rounds before going dark.

Light Detector

Source Advanced Player's Guide

This hand-sized metal plate is covered with a thin layer of light-sensitive transparent paste. If exposed to light, the paste darkens and becomes opaque, depending on the amount of light. Bright light causes it to fully darken in 1 round, normal light in 3 rounds, dim light in 10 rounds. It is mainly used by creatures with darkvision to determine if creatures have recently passed through an area carrying light. The plate is sold wrapped in a thick black cloth to prevent accidental light exposure from ruining the plate.

Liquid Ice

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Also known as “alchemist’s ice,” this sealed jar of crystalline blue fluid immediately starts to evaporate once opened. During the next 1d6 rounds, you can use it to freeze a liquid or to coat an object in a thin layer of ice. You can also throw liquid ice as a splash weapon. A direct hit deals 1d6 points of cold damage; creatures within 5 feet of where it hits take 1 point of cold damage from the splash.

Lock

The DC to open a lock with the Disable Device skill depends on the lock's quality: simple (DC 20), average (DC 25), good (DC 30), or superior (DC 40).

Lodging, Inn (Night)

Poor accommodations at an inn amount to a place on the floor near the hearth. Common accommodations consist of a place on a raised, heated floor and the use of a blanket and a pillow. Good accommodations consist of a small, private room with one bed, some amenities, and a covered chamber pot in the corner.

Magnet

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Handheld magnets are relatively weak and are mainly used to detect or pull iron, mithral, or adamantine at a short range. This hand-sized horseshoe magnet can lift up to a 3-pound iron weight.

Magnifying Glass

This simple lens allows a closer look at small objects. It is also useful as a substitute for flint and steel when starting fires. Lighting a fire with a magnifying glass requires bright light, such as sunlight to focus, tinder to ignite, and at least a full-round action. A magnifying glass grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Appraise checks involving any item that is small or highly detailed.

Manacles, Standard and Masterwork

Manacles can bind a Medium creature. A manacled creature can use the Escape Artist skill to slip free (DC 30, or DC 35 for masterwork manacles). Breaking the manacles requires a Strength check (DC 26, or DC 28 for masterwork manacles). Manacles have hardness 10 and 10 hit points.

Most manacles have locks; add the cost of the lock you want to the cost of the manacles.

For the same cost, you can buy manacles for a Small creature. For a Large creature, manacles cost 10 times the indicated amount, and for a Huge creature, 100 times the indicated amount. Gargantuan, Colossal, Tiny, Diminutive, and Fine creatures can be held only by specially made manacles, which cost at least 100 times the indicated amount.

Manacles, false

Source Adventurer's Armory

These manacles are nearly indistinguishable from standard manacles upon inspection (Perception DC 25). A wearer who knows the location of the secret catch can open them as a standard action; otherwise they act like masterwork manacles. Some appear to be of common quality, though false manacles are always masterwork.

Manacles, mithral

Source Adventurer's Armory

These bindings are more difficult to break than standard bindings and are particularly useful against lycanthropes. They have hardness 15, 30 hit points, and a break DC of 30.

Map (Area)

Source Adventurer's Armory

A geographically relevant map grants a user a +1 circumstance bonus on Survival checks made to navigate in the wilderness. It also can be used to grant the same bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) checks made to navigate underground.

Marbles

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Like caltrops, marbles can be used to slow down opponents. One 2-pound bag of marbles covers an area 5 feet square. A creature entering a square with marbles scattered on it must make a DC 10 Reflex save or fall prone (the creature’s stability bonus to trip applies to this save). Any creature moving at half speed or slower can pick its way through a square of marbles with no trouble.

Marker Die

Source Adventurer's Armory

This dye (available in several colors) creates an obvious stain wherever splashed. Washing has no effect for the first 72 hours (though magic can erase it), but it fades completely after 2 weeks. You can throw it as a splash weapon.

Mirror (small steel)

A small steel mirror.

Mug/Tankard, Clay

A clay mug or tankard.

Empty Weight: - Capacity: 1 pint/1 lb.

Musical Instrument, Common or Masterwork

A masterwork instrument grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform checks involving its use.

Musk, Kaava

Source Adventurer's Armory

This emerald-colored adhesive is a concoction made from animal glands, urine, and other powerful scents combined with a strong alchemical binding agent that is difficult to wash off. A target splashed with it smells like weak prey to predators. Creatures with the scent ability can detect a marked creature at five times the normal range, note its direction as a free action, pinpoint it when it is within 25 feet, and track it by scent with a +5 bonus on its Survival checks. Immersion in water within 1 round of exposure washes it off; otherwise the effect decreases by one range increment per day (four times normal range after 1 day, three times range after 2 days, and so on) until the creature is again at normal scent levels.

Musk, Harpy

Source Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide

The reek of this doubtful cure-all proves useful at scaring off Varisian goblins. If smeared on a surface or used as a thrown weapon, the musk fills a 30-foot area with the stink of harpies for 1 minute. Any Varisian goblin who enters the area must make a DC 14 Will save or be shaken for 1 minute.

Nushadir (Vial)

Source Advanced Player's Guide

Normally stored in the form of small, salty pellets in a dry container, this reagent can be mixed with a flask of water and stored safely. Nushadir neutralizes acid; a vial of pellets or a flask of nushadir-water is enough to render a cubic foot of acid safe to touch in 1 minute, though this is usually too slow to prevent damage from a thrown vial of acid or the contents of a large monster’s gullet. Nushadir vapors are slightly irritating to the eyes, nose, and mouth, causing nausea for 1d4 rounds after close exposure (Fortitude DC 10 negates).

Oar

This is a replacement oar for an oared craft.

Oil (Alchemist's Fire)

You can throw a flask of alchemist's fire as a splash weapon with a range increment of 10 feet.

A direct hit deals 1d6 points of fire damage. Every creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of fire damage from the splash. On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 points of damage. If desired, the target can use a full-round action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking this additional damage. Extinguishing the flames requires a DC 15 Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target a +2 bonus on the save. Leaping into a lake or magically extinguishing the flames automatically smothers the fire.
