Adventurer’s Sash [WtD]

Price 20 gp; Weight 3 lbs.; Size Tiny-sized object
This bandolier holds six pouches along its length and a satchel at the hip. Each pouch has a stiff leather flap that can be secured against jostling with a clasp (requiring a move action to open or close) or left unfastened for easier access. The pouches and satchel contain loops and ties for securing additional equipment.

The sash buckles at the shoulder, and in an emergency can be freed with a sharp tug as a move action.

Aspergillum [CoP]

An aspergillum is a one-handed item that is used by priests to sprinkle consecrated oils and holy water. As a standard action, you may make a melee touch attack against one creature to splash a creature within reach, or as a full-round action, you may splash upto 5 creatures within reach. Creatures splashed are subjected to any splash effects or splash damage of the contained substance. After 5 creatures have been targeted with the aspergillum, the item needs to be refilled. Filling it is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity (like drinking a potion). A filled aspergillum is normally carried upright, otherwise the liquid leaks out as the tool moves. Cost 5 sp. Weight 1 lb.

Catnip Hookah [Catgirl HB]

Price 70 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

This intricate glass instrument has a long stem which carries filtered smoke to the user. It is a popular instrument amongst desert dwelling catfolk who will use it with various catnip substances after long days in the heat.

When a dose of catnip is used with a catnip hookah, the dose can be consumed by up to 4 creatures. Using a hookah requires 1 minute. Other smokable substances (tobacco, etc.) may be consumed using this hookah subject to GM discretion.

Climbing Pick

A climbing pick is a one-handed item that aids in climbing. A hand holding a climbing pick counts as being open for the purpose of making Climb checks, and grants its wielder a +1 circumstance bonus to Climb checks. This stacks with the bonus granted by a climber’s kit. Cost 20 gp. Weight 2 lbs.

Filter Scarf [SB:DE]

Price 5 gp; Weight —; Size Tiny-sized object

Follower Contracts

Follower contracts are a new type of item, allowing a character to hire creatures for a short-term basis to fill positions and provide services as if they were Leadership sphere followers. Buying a contract is as simple as finding a suitable place, such as a guild hall, academy, or tavern, depending on the followers to be hired, and paying the price.

The price of a contract is determined by the number of followers hired, their skills, and the length of the contract. The base price of a follower contract is 25 gp x Diplomacy ranks x complexity x length of contract in weeks. The Diplomacy ranks determines the number and effectiveness of the followers as per the (followers) package. The complexity starts at 1 and is increased by 1 for each (followers) talent you add to the contract, hiring individuals with specific skills.

Contracted followers are less loyal that those you gain based on your own merits; if dispersed while traveling they will not reform unless you increase the complexity of the contract by 1.

You may spend extra time bargaining and convincing people into signing your contract; this requires 8 hours per 1,000 gp of the contract (minimum 8 hours). At the end of this time, you make a Diplomacy check with a DC equal to 10 + the Diplomacy ranks + the complexity of the contract. If successful, the contract’s cost is reduced by half.

Great Kilt [High. HB]

Unlike the kilt which is normally used by common highlanders, the great kilt is a garb of position and power, usually reserved for clan leaders, lords, and officers. While originally, the great kilt was made of wool with a solid color, eventually many kilts were made from other fabrics and with tartan patterns to signify association with a particular clan or sept. The great kilt doubles as a variant cold-weather outfit, granting a +5 circumstance bonus on Fortitude saving throws against exposure to cold weather. While not worn, the great kilt may be used as cold-weather bedding for outdoor use. While the great kilt may be worn as an accessory to armor or other outfits, the great kilt is more often than not worn alongside the other articles of the highlander outfit, replacing the kilt with the great kilt. Price 40 gp; Weight 5 lbs.

Whenever a creature sleeps for at least 2 hours in a sleeping box, they awaken refreshed, gaining 1d4 temporary hit points which last until removed. If a creature would have temporary hit points from multiple sources, these temporary hit points are always lost first.
