Shields

A shield is a defensive item that is carried in one hand. They may be made from different materials that provide different practical benefits, e.g. steel can not catch fire and wood does not rust.

Buckler: A small shield strapped to the arm to provide some extra armor without impeding the use of that arm. You may still fire two-handed ranged weapons, swing two handed swords, and fight with dual weapons. 

Mid-size shield: These give you +1 or +2 AC bonuses. 

Tower shield: A very large shield that gives an additional bonus if you spend a Standard Action to set it. Once a tower shield is set, it gives the defender a +2 concealment bonus.

Acid: Corrosive acid deals 1d6 damage per round of exposure. In the case of total immersion (such as being pushed into a vat of acid) deals 10d6 points of damage per round. You can throw a flask of acid as a splash weapon. Treat this as a ranged touch attack. A direct hit deals full 1d6 damage for 1d6 rounds, and every creature within 5 ft. of the point where the acid hits take 1 point of acid damage from the splash for 1 round. Range: 10 ft.

Alchemist’s Fire: You can throw a flask of alchemist’s fire as a splash weapon. Treat this as a ranged Touch Attack. A direct hit deals full 1d6 damage for 1d6 rounds, and every creature within 5 ft. of the point where the flask hits take 1 point of fire damage from the splash for 1 round. Range: 10 ft.

If desired, the target can use a full-round action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking additional damage. A DC 12 Reflex save extinguishes the flames. Rolling on the ground provides a +2 bonus on the save. Submerging in water or magically extinguishing the flames prevents further damage.

Antitoxin: Drink to gain a +5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison for 1 hour.

Black Rock: Highly volatile. Black rock deals 1d8 damage per ounce. Anytime a skill check or attack roll is used in conjunction with black rock or a device that uses black rock, rolling a natural 1 means the black rock explodes, damaging the user.

Healing Salve: When healing salve is applied over a wound, it greatly accelerates the healing process. Heal 1d4+2. Takes one Standard Action to apply.

Smokestick: his alchemically treated wooden stick can instantly create thick, opaque smoke when ignited. The smoke fills a 10 ft. cube. Treat the effect as a Fog Cloud spell, except that a moderate or stronger wind dissipates the smoke in 1 round. The stick is consumed after 1 round, and the smoke dissipates naturally over 3 minutes.

Totem Bag: Contains herbs and ingredients that grant +2 to saves versus magic when imbibed. Lasts 3 minutes.

Universal Solvent: This substance has the unique property of being able to dissolve most glues. Universal solvent can be used to free 1 person from anything sticky, including giant spider webs or spells.

Poison

When a character takes damage from an attack with a poisoned weapon, touches an item smeared with contact poison, consumes poisoned food or drink, or is otherwise poisoned, they must make a Fortitude saving throw. If they fail, they take the poison’s initial damage (usually ability damage). Even if they succeed, they typically face more damage 1 minute later, which can also be avoided with a successful Fortitude saving throw.

One dose of poison smeared on a weapon or some other object affects just a single target. A poisoned weapon or object retains its poison until the weapon scores a hit or the object is touched (unless the poison is wiped off). Any poison smeared on an object or exposed to the elements in any way remains potent until it is touched or used.

Poisons can be divided into four basic types according to the method by which their effect is delivered, as follows.

Contact
Merely touching this type of poison necessitates a saving throw. It can be actively delivered via a weapon or a touch attack. Even if a creature has sufficient damage reduction to avoid taking any damage from the attack, the poison can still affect it. A chest or other object can be smeared with contact poison as part of a trap.

Ingested
Ingested poisons are virtually impossible to utilize in a combat situation. A poisoner could administer a potion to an unconscious creature or attempt to dupe someone into drinking or eating something poisoned. Assassins and other characters tend to use ingested poisons outside of combat.

Inhaled
Inhaled poisons are usually contained in fragile vials or eggshells. They can be thrown as a ranged attack with a range increment of 10 feet. When it strikes a hard surface (or is struck hard), the container releases its poison. One dose spreads to fill the volume of a 10-foot cube. Each creature within the area must make a saving throw. Holding one’s breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons; they affect the nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body.

Injury
This poison must be delivered through a wound. If a creature has sufficient damage reduction to avoid taking any damage from the attack, the poison does not affect it. Traps that cause damage from weapons, needles, and the like sometimes contain injury poisons.

Poison Characteristics

Type
The poison’s method of delivery (contact, ingested, inhaled, or via an injury) and the Fortitude save DC to avoid the poison’s damage.

Effect
The effect the character takes immediately upon failing the saving throw against this poison. Damage is done to the Ability Modifier. Ability damage is temporary unless marked with an asterisk (*), in which case the loss is a permanent drain.

Price
The cost of one dose (one vial) of the poison. It is not possible to use or apply poison in any quantity smaller than one dose. The purchase and possession of poison is always illegal, and even in big cities it can be obtained only from specialized, less than reputable sources.

Poison Immunities
Creatures with natural poison attacks are immune to their own poison. Nonliving creatures (constructs and undead) and creatures without metabolisms (such as elementals) are always immune to poison. Oozes, plants, and certain kinds of outsiders are also immune to poison, although conceivably special poisons could be concocted specifically to harm them.

Cold Iron

Cold iron is a raw, unworked metal and is much more difficult to craft into weapons than steel. Steel can trap or harm magical creatures and fey, but cold iron can be forged into weapons and armor specifically to fight magic. Cold iron weapons must be crafted by skilled smiths and forged with the intent to harm creatures of magic. Cold iron armor will protect against the spells of mages, while cold iron shackles can stop even a powerful wizard from using magic.

If casting magic, cold iron causes these effects:

Cold Iron: On skin, caster takes 1d6+3 damage per mana. In skin, 2d6+6 per mana. On body, but covered (wrapped, leather bound, etc), 1d4 per mana.

Bonuses: Medium or heavy armor made from cold iron provides +2 to AC vs ranged magic attacks. Cold iron weapons bypass damage reduction on certain creatures (like Navirites and other fey). Cold iron ammunition causes 2d6+6 extra damage per spell mana to a spellcasting mage.

Aradan Steel

The means to make this metal were lost long ago, with the fall of the Aradani Kingdom. But rare weapons and artifacts survive from those times. Many items of Aradan steel were made to battle the forces of the Warlock King, and to this day hold power against forces of evil.

Aradan steel is recognizable with its dull blue-gray color, and some swear it glows in the presence of true evil. Aradan Steel is also effective against creatures summoned from the Navirim.

* Unlike regular steel, a spellcaster may touch or carry Aradan steel during magic use without taking damage. Normal armor restrictions do apply.

** Aradan steel artifacts are rare, and since the means to create it have been lost, no new items of Aradan steel may be crafted.

Bonuses: Aradan steel items weigh half that of their steel counterparts. Does not affect spellcasting. Weapons and ammunition do +1d4 additional damage to all Navirites. +2d4 additional damage to reavers, ghuls, and other creatures created during the Aradan War. Aradan steel armor makes you immune to possession.

All Aradan steel items are considered masterwork.

Type of Aradan steel item	Item worth modifier
Ammunition	+10 gp
Light armor	+500 gp
Medium armor	+2,000 gp
Heavy armor	+4,500 gp
Shield	+500 gp
Other items	+250 gp/lb

Amarnium

This is a very rare metal created from a silver-like ore. It is light but strong, and after being forged, is nearly impossible to destroy. It takes a master smith to make even the most basic items with this metal, and very few can forge it into weapons and armor. Elves and dworves, having learned smithing long ago from the gods, are more adept with this metal. It is a satin silver color, but can be polished to a super high gloss.

Amarnium does not affect any races with metal allergies.

Bonuses: Amarnium items weigh half that of their steel counterparts. Amarnium does not affect spellcasting or Fey. A spellcaster may touch or carry amarnium without taking damage during magic use.

All amarnium items are considered masterwork.

Type of amarnium item	Item cost modifier
Ammunition	+20 gp
Light armor	+1,000 gp
Medium armor	+4,000 gp
Heavy armor	+9,000 gp
Shield	+1,000 gp
Other items	+500 gp/lb

Tritium

This is a strong metal which has come into more common use in the Fourth Age. It is moderately rare and expensive, but is not as rare as amarnium. It takes a master blacksmith to work with this metal. Its color is a lustrous silver, and it resists corrosion and damage. It does not interfere with magic in the same way as steel.

Bonuses: Tritium armor negates critical hits. Tritium shields are unbreakable. Tritium weapons and ammunition cause critical hits, as normal, to wearers of tritium armor. If a mage wears tritium armor and casts a spell, they only take 1 damage per mana. All tritium items are considered masterwork.

Type of tritium item	Item cost modifier
Ammunition	+60 gp
Light armor	+5,000 gp
Medium armor	+10,000 gp
Heavy armor	+15,000 gp
Weapon	+3,000 gp
Shield	+2,000 gp

Silver

Metal weapons can be infused with silver by master smiths. This allows the weapon to strike supernatural creatures and ignore specific damage reduction.

Cost: add 100 gp to the cost of a silvered weapon.

Special Materials

Elfwood

Elfwood is a special wood material crafted by the elves which is as strong as steel but does not hurt those of Fey blood or interfere with magic. 

Elves make weapons, tools, and armors out of elfwood. It is a great material for bladed and piercing weapons, but is less ideal for bludgeoning weapons.

Elfwood cannot be fashioned into chainmail. Scalemail, banded, and breastplate, and plate armor can be made of elfwood. 

All elfwood items count as masterwork.

Bonuses: Stats are identical to masterwork steel. Weighs half of steel. +1 to max Dex bonus. 

Negatives: Flammable.

Cost: Elfwood is common to elves, but most elves will not offer it to outsiders. Due to this, Elfwood items sell for 8x outside of elven communities. Elves in good standing with their community can get elfwood for 2x the cost of standard metal items.

Legacy Items

Certain items gain power as the adventurer gains levels. These items are part of the adventurer’s story. A Legacy item may be the famed sword the hero is never seen without; the rogue’s lucky lockpicks; the rope their mother gave them that reminds them of home.

Each player should work with their SG to choose a Legacy item for their character at level 1 as a part of their backstory, which will grow in strength as they grow in skill. If a player does not choose a Legacy item at level 1, they can choose any time along their journey that they see fit.

More about Legacy items can be found in the Gaining Levels chapter.

Magic Items

Magic is rare in Atheles. Magical items are even rarer. Legacy items, growing in power, as they do, fill the role magic items might fill in other games. Players should not, therefore, discover magical weapons and relics in a chest at the bottom of every dungeon.

If magical items are found, they should have limitations, drawbacks, curses, or only a few charges.
