ADVENTURING GEAR

In addition to the gear presented in the Player’s Handbook and in the Adventurer’s Vault supplement, musical instruments and totems are available for purchase.

ADVENTURING GEAR

Item	Price	Weight
Musical instrument
Drum	3 gp	1 lb.
Flute	5 gp	1 lb.
Harp	15 gp	4 lb.
Horn	7 gp	3 lb.
Lute	12 gp	2 lb.
Lyre	9 gp	2 lb.
Woodwind	10 gp	1 lb.

Musical Instrument: Bards and other characters use instruments for art and entertainment. A nonmagical musical instrument confers no game benefit but can be enchanted later. The instruments on the table are portable instruments.

Totem: Druids and shamans use totems as focuses for their evocations. A totem is a short length of wood or bone, similar to a rod, which is carved to resemble a nature spirit and is adorned with feathers, fur, leaves, bones, teeth, and the like. A nonmagical totem confers no game benefit but can be enchanted later.

MAGIC ITEMS

The magic items presented in this chapter use the same rules as those in the Player’s Handbook and in the Adventurer’s Vault supplement.

This chapter introduces two kinds of magic items: totems and musical instruments. Totems (page 207) are implements for certain primal classes, and musical instruments are wondrous items (page 209) that are especially useful to bards.

Armor

Magic armor increases your Armor Class by adding an enhancement bonus to the armor’s armor bonus.

Masterwork Armor: Masterwork armor grants a higher armor bonus than non-masterwork armor and is always magical. The type and level of magic

armor determines if it can be masterwork, as detailed in the tables below. The cost of masterwork armor is included in the cost of magic armor, so higher-level characters should seek out masterwork armor instead of normal magic armor. Some masterwork armor grants a resistance or an armor bonus to Fortitude, Reflex, or Will, instead of granting a higher armor bonus to AC. The Player’s Handbook and Adventurer’s Vault describe various types of masterwork armor.
