Exotic equipment

## Exotic weapons and armor

In some markets and cities throughout
the realm there are weapons and equipment for sale that differ from
the regular armaments used in the kingdom. These exotic goods are
imported from the cities of Agantar and the republic, though not
commonly used by the rather traditional warriors of the kingdom.

### Peltac

Type: Simple weapon Damage: 2d4
piercing Thrown (range 30/120)

Special: On hit, DC 16 con save or take
1d6 bleeding damage for 3 rounds

Price: 15 sp (replacement spearhead 3
sp)

The peltac is a special, heavier
javelin used by republic skirmishers. The tip of the javelin is
constructed with a focus on creating horrible wounds, tearing into an
enemy's body and breaking off. For this reason a spent peltac can not
be used again unless the head is replaced.

### Falchion

Type: Martial weapon Damage: 2d6
slashing Unbalanced, versatile (2d8)

Special: Falchions are designed for
damage over finesse. -2 on attack rolls

Price: 150 sp

The falchion are the favoured weapon of
Agantar armsmen. With a heavy, curved blade the weapon looks rather
intimidating, but in untrained hands it presents a greater danger to
the wielder than the target.

### Composite bow

Type: Martial ranged Damage: 2d8
piercing Ammuntion, two-handed(range 140/500)

Special: Add your strength bonus (max
2) to all damage rolls

Price: 500 sp

Archers in the republic legions usually
favour the composite bow. Though not as powerful as the kingdom
longbow, the advanced construction of the weapon gives it a heavier
pull than most common bows found elsewhere.

### Byugha

Type: Simple weapon Damage: 1d8
bludgeoning Thrown (range 20/60)

Special: On hit, DC 15 dex save or
become restrained

Price: 50 sp

The byugha is a common weapon amongst
Agantar slavers. It looks like a collection of heavy chains arranged
together with heavy weights on the end. It can be used both as a
makeshift flail and as a ranged weapon. It is designed to trip and
restrain targets, making it easier for the slavers to bring
merchandise back alive.

### Moonspear

Type: Martial weapon Damage: 2d10
slashing Heavy, reach, two-handed

Special: When used at targets more than
5ft away it can be used to trip opponents

Price: 150 sp

The moonspear, or makara, is an Agantar
polearm named for its crescent head. Mostly used as a ceremonial
weapon amongst temple guardians, the makara is infamous for it's use
as a formation breaker. The shape of the head allows a skilled
wielder to trip an approaching enemy, allthough it can be cumbersome
to use in close quarters.

### Shazir

Type: Martial weapon Damage: 1d10
piercing Finesse

Special: None

Price: 120 sp

The shazir is both a deadly weapon and
a mark of honor amongst Agantar soldiers. Usually awarded to troop
captains or those who have proven themselves worthy. The shazir is a
finely made sword with an extremely sharp tip, designed to penetrate
enemy defenses and impale them.

### Glavii

Type: Martial weapon Damage: 1d10
slashing Light, keen

Special: Scores a critical hit on a
19-20 roll

Price: 160 sp

The standard weapon of republic
legionaires, the glavii is a bit shorter and lighter than the
standard kingdom longsword. It is extremely well balanced and crafted
however, making it easier for a skilled swordsman to find openings
and deliver a deadly blow.

### Towershield

Type: Shield AC: 4 Cover,
cumbersome

Special: Reduces movement speed by 10.
Can be used as total cover if hiding behind it

Price: 80 sp

Towershields are big, heavy and rarely
seen amongst men of the kingdom. In the republic legions they are
part of the standard equipment for their heavy infantry. Made from
reinforced wood the towershield is large enough to provide a warrior
with almost total cover, though the sheer size tends to slow down
anyone who is carrying it.

### Light breastplate

Type: Light armor AC: 13

Price: 150 sp

The light breastplate is the common
outfit for most Agantar soldiers. It consists of finely crafted metal
plates fitted to a soft leather frame, with a silk undershirt to keep
the wearer comfortable. Too flimsy to be used on the frontlines, the
armor has gained some popularity amongst scouts and skirmishers in
the kingdom.

### Lamellar armor

Type: Heavy armor AC: 16

Special: Resistance to slashing.
Vulnerable to piercing. Disadvantage on stealth.

Price: 200 sp

The lamellar armor was originally made
for the heavy guardsmen of the Agantar guilds. It was designed to
deflect cuts from the heavy falchions commonly wielded by armsmen,
but the singular focus in its construction made it weak against
arrows and similar weapons.

### Legion breastplate

Type: Medium armor AC: 15+dex (max 2)

Special: Disadvantage on stealth

Price: 400 sp

The iconic breasplate of the Marayirr
legions is somewhat of a novelty in the kingdom. Consisting of a
metal cuirass, greaves and bracers, legionaire armor is light, strong
and very sturdy. It is however far more costly to produce and
maintain than the standard chainmail armors of the kingdom, and most
Angleadd warriors prefer the more traditional mail.

### Half-plate

Type: Heavy armor AC: 20

Special: Disadvantage on stealth.
Requires 18 strength

Price: 20 gp

More rare than exotic, the half-plate
is slowly being accepted as the armor of kingdom frontline infantry.
It consists of a reinforced chainmail shirt with heavy plates
covering most of the torso and legs, making the wearer almost totally
impervious to damage. This armor is only made by master craftsmen and
usually only on commision by wealthy nobles. The price and weight of
it makes it unavailable for all but the strongest and best supplied
warriors, and few outside the king's own are known to wear it.
