Gear (PSR Supplement)

---

Gear is a catch-all term for all items that aren’t goods, attire, weapons, or tools. Examples include rope, chalk or other writing utensils, and light sources like torches or lanterns.

Potions are a type of consumable gear, but not all consumables are gear. Explosives would be weapons, for example.

Common gear tends to be inexpensive, usually little more than 1 gold unless it involves glass or multiple metal parts. Potions and other extraordinary gear usually costs at least 50 gold.

Example Gear

While there is practically infinite gear that could be useful to adventurers, the following common gear is essential to most campaigns and could be bought virtually anywhere. This list is just an example, and your narrator's campaign might have different gear available.

Gear	Cost	Weight	Properties
Fishing Tackle	1 gold	4 pounds	—
Hourglass	25 gold	1 pound	—
Ration	1 gold	1 pound	—
Red Potion	50 gold	0.5 pounds	—
Tent	1 gold	20 pounds	—
Tinderbox	1 gold	1 pound	—
Torch	0.01 gold	1 pound	Light
Traveler's Pack	50 gold	5 pounds	—
Waterskin	1 gold	5 pounds	—

Fishing Tackle. This kit includes everything you need to catch and prepare fish. At an appropriate fishing spot, as a phase activity you can make a Perception check. Your narrator determines the mark for this check, but a somewhat decent fishing spot has mark 15. On a success you catch and prepare a fish which can provide enough food for a Medium or smaller creature to camp; if uneaten, fish spoils when you start downtime.

Hourglass. After it's flipped and left undisturbed, this hourglass can be used to approximate how much of a phase has passed.

Ration. A single ration is a complete meal of dried and bland food. Consuming one is enough to provide enough food for one Medium or smaller creature to camp.

Red Potion. This sweet, fizzy fluid swirls vibrantly within its vial. You can Gulp this potion as a bonus action, or administer it to an Unconscious creature with your Use action. The drinker regains 2d4+2 hit points and becomes Stuffed.

Tent. This modest tent takes a phase to set up, and provides rudimentary shelter to one Medium creature or two Small creatures. Shelter is needed to successfully camp.

Tinderbox. This small box contains bits of flint, steel, and other instruments for cultivating a fire. As a Use action you can light aflame a highly flammable unattended object, such as a torch or a puddle of oil.

Torch. A torch burns for an entire phase, shedding bright light out to a radius of 20 feet, and dim light for another 20 feet. After it burns out, the torch becomes a worthless stick—not even sturdy enough to use as a weapon. Normally you need something like a tinderbox to light one, but anything that can deal fire damage to a torch can be used to light it. When using a lit torch as an improvised weapon, a hit deals fire damage equal to 1 + your Strength modifier.

Traveler's Pack. Sometimes this backpack seems much larger on the inside than it should be. While you're attuned to and carrying this backpack, you can carry 5 more items.

Waterskin. This pouch made of animal parts can hold a couple liters or a gallon of water, or potentially another fluid. If filled, a waterskin provides enough water for one Medium or smaller creature to camp. As a Use action, you can empty the waterskin to make yourself or a creature within 5 feet of you Soaked. For an unwilling creature, you must succeed on a melee attack roll using the waterskin as an improvised weapon, and on a miss the water is wasted.
