Equipment

Red Age > Rules > Equipment

Inventory Items can be Readied, Stowed, Carried, or Equipped. Readied: you can have up to (Wits or Dexterity / 2) Readied items (rounded up), in belts, bandoleers, pockets, sheaths, etc. You can access Readied items freely, though using them requires a suitable action. Weapons, shields, and ammunition need to be Readied to draw promptly. Carried: items are already in hand. Carried items can be dropped as a free action. Sometimes a bulky item will have to be Carried, in addition to its encumbrance. Equipped: mostly covers worn items like gloves, clothes, cloaks, armor, etc. Worn items do not need to be Readied, and apart from armor, most wearable items have 0 encumbrance while Worn. You are limited in how much you can wear according to logic. Stowed: all other items carried are Stowed: stored in packs, jumbled in sacks, lashed to you, etc. To access a Stowed item in haste, as an Action, roll 1d6 - (DEX or WIT), min 0. This is the additional number additional Actions it will take to unearth (if 0, you have it now). If you empty your bags on the ground and paw through them, cut through straps, etc, halve the time it will take, rounding down. If you flee, this gear is lost, and even if you don't, items may smash, roll away and be lost, etc. This won't happen to Readied items.

Encumbrance Items have an encumbrance value, usually 0 or 1, sometimes higher. 0) these small items are effectively weightless, unless in large quantities. Less than 200 coins, most gems, rings and other small jewelry or trinkets, talismans, wands, worn clothing and items, a hip flask. 1) most items of significant size. Most weapons, toolkits, waterskins, Stowed wearables (gauntlets, helm, cloak), small treasures (statuette, big gem), shields, tomes, coils of rope, potion bottles. Some items can be bundled, stacking multiple uses or doses in a single 1 encumbrance slot. Generally this is 3 (light weapons, potion doses), 10 (iron spikes), or 20 (arrows, sling bullets). Up to 600 coins can be carried in 1 slot. A single instance of an item that bundles (1 dagger, 1 potion) is weightless, but more than 1 takes up a full slot. 2+) heavy and/or bulky items and treasure such as tapestries, chest, crates, statues, etc. Heavy weapons (2), medium armor (3), and heavy armor (5).

Containers You can have up to 2 large containers (packs, large sacks) as weightless items. Additional sacks have encumbrance 1. If you want, you can note what items are in a container, allowing them to all be dropped or picked up collectively in a hurry. Small containers (pouches, etc) are negligible and don't need to be tracked at all. Just assume they're there.

Tracking Items Keep track of weightless items on a list separate from those with encumbrance of 1 or higher. Items with 1 or more encumbrance are tracked on a list, with each line being a "slot". Items with more than 1 encumbrance should have blank lines below them so that they occupy a number of slots equal to their encumbrance. Put a mark after the number of slots for varying levels of Load, making it obvious at a glance how loaded down you are. You can put "R" next to items on your weightless and encumbering lists that are Readied (multi-slot items only count as 1 Readied item). You can also denote Equipped ("E"), or Carried ("C").

Load Light (up to Vigor / 2 (rounding up) slots filled) No effect. Medium (up to Vigor slots filled) Take +D to mobility skill checks such as swimming, climbing, and jumping. You can't fly by natural means (wings). Heavy (up to 1.5 x Vigor (rounding up) slots filled) Take +D on all Dex and Vigor stat, skill, save, attack, and effect checks. Take +D on initiative. You cannot swim, or fly by natural means. Combat and exploration speed halved. Long distance travel may incur more fatigue. Lift / Drag / Push (up to 3 x Vigor slots, or 30 x Vigor pounds) As Heavy Load, but you can only move 5' a turn. After pushing or dragging for 10 minutes, every further 10 minutes, +1d10 Fatigue (Vigor save DC 13 for half). A Brief Rest resets this count. Lifting does not grant the initial 10 minute grace period. Size For every size above Medium, double the number of slots / pounds you can carry per Load category. For every size step below, halve it.

Impact: adequate for smashing through durable objects, such as doors. Entangling: counts as a free hand for making grapple attacks, and is tied up while its grapple persists. Ammo: the weapon requires ammunition to operate (arrows, bolts, stones, etc). 20 ammo take up 1 enc. Track hits with ammo weapons. For misses, mark off 1 ammo (assumed broken or lost). Hits are recovered with a minute or so of effort after combat. They are marked off if you flee. When you return to civilization, pay for a full replacement of your ammo (covering all the cracked, blunted, etc ammo that needs to be replaced). Thrown: thrown weapons are tracked individually. After combat, it is usually trivial to recover them in a minute or so after combat. They are abandoned if you flee. Loading: the weapon can be loaded once per turn, which requires both hands, provokes, and is interrupted on a hit. It can be carried in loaded in one hand. Unarmed: +D to defense when fighting an armed opponent. Armor Clumsy X: the wearer's Dexterity (and thus Dexterity bonus and DEX) are capped at X for matters of agility, movement (climbing, swimming, running, tumbling, etc), defense bonus, agile attacks, and bonus to Dex Saves. Given a moment to remove gloves / gauntlets, you can ignore the tag for purposes of fine manipulation.
