Shaman Equipment Lists (SB)

__TOC__
The following lists should be used in lieu of the starting funds provided in the Player's Handbook; in other words, players are encouraged to start their shaman characters with the items mentioned for each class. DMs may allow players to select other items that match their vision of their characters, and, of course, may rule that they must select equipment as all other starting characters do. However, all shamans should have a set of implements of sacrifice, regardless of the methods used to determine starting equipment.
==Tribal Snaman Equipment==
Ritual Tools: Drum, rattle, mask, implements of sacrifice (one bone, one stone), gourds, and pots. Material components for spells (three measures for each spell in which components are consumed, one measure for others).
Personal Equipment: Badge of rank, bowl, mortal and pestle, spare clothes and footwear (all natural materials), wood bow (for starting fires), large leather sack, waterskin, and a one-person tent (made of leather or similar), blanket.
Funds: 2d10 gp (if culturally appropriate.)
Weapons: One weapon of character's choice.
==Solitary Snaman Equipment==
The solitary shaman actually has little use for equipment beyond that which he can secure from his natural surroundings.
Ritual Tools: Implements of sacrifice. Material components for spells (three measures for each spell in which components are consumed, one measure for others).
Personal Equipment: Badge of rank, backpack, 4 small belt pouches, 10 torches, rope (30 feet), thick blanket, flint and steel, and a waterskin Funds: 1d4+2 gp.
Weapons: Two weapons of the character's choice.
==Spiritualist Equipment==
Not content with a simple knife, each spiritualist carries an eccentric array of half a dozen sacrificial tools. Many spiritualists insist that the more a sacrifice bleeds, or the noisier its death, the more likely it is that the spirits will notice and respond to the sacrifice.
Additionally, spritiualists tend to keep records of which rituals seemed to be the most effective. (Illiterate spiritualists have been known to develope their own written languages.) This is part of their efforts to establish some form of traditions around their beliefs: Written records may outlast both them and their students. To this end, it is not uncommon for spiritualists to have blank scrolls, vails of ink and quills on their person.
Ritual Equipment: Implements of Sacrifice (2d6 different sets) and bowls and pots. Material components for spells (three measures for each spell in which components are consumed, one measure for others).
Personal Equipment: Small sack, iron pot, bowl and eating utensils, chalk, flint and steel, 10 candles, five torches, two blankets (count as 1 winter blanket), one set of spare clothing, bird seed, and a whetstone. Three blank scrolls, stoppered ink bottle, and quill.
Funds: 1d10 gold pieces.
Weapons: Two weapon of choice.
