Equipment
This expansion brings you a full and complete list
of equipment you can purchase for your Hero
between Quests. It is meant to expand and replace
the equipment list found in the Core Rules.
Remember that your Hero can only carry a
maximum of 12 items of equipment at once (not
counting coins, but including Artifacts and Relics).
If you wish to sell any equipment, you can sell it for
half the value listed here.
In the Core Rules we only had room for a
smattering of equipment to get you started. This
expansion fixes that by offering you a
comprehensive selection of gear that you can
purchase for your Hero between Quests.
Unlike in the Core Rules, the equipment presented
here is broken up into sections: weapons, armour,
ranged weapons and miscellaneous.
This list also included an availability column.
Before you can purchase an item, you must roll 1
d10 and equal or beat the availability score. If you
do, you may purchase the item. If you fail, you may
not try to buy that item again until after your next
Quest.

Missile Weapons
Missile weapons are a new concept not presented in
the Core Rules. They include weapons that can be
used from a distance, such as bows, crossbows and
thrown weapons.
The rules for using these types of weapons are
simple. Unless you are otherwise told, you may use a
missile weapon once before a battle. Make Fighting
Skill rolls as normal but, if your enemy hits, he does
not inflict any damage.
If you hit, your missile weapon has hit and you roll
for damage as normal.
After that battle returns to normal, with both
combatants able to deal damage.
