Equipment Tables

Choosing Equipment

In Adventure's Edge choosing the right equipment is critical for survival. Characters are limited to what they can carry, and having the right tool for the task is important; you might need rope for climbing, lanterns for exploring the dark, food and water for travel, and warm bedrolls for surviving a frigid night. You'll need to know what you are planning for and often change out your kit for different adventures. This is a good time to collaborate with your team and possibly assign equipment roles. Having the means to start a fire, a good tent, and food for a hot meal are just as important as weapons, armor, arrows, and healing potions. 

Wealth and Money

Each character begins play with 300 +5d20 silver pieces that they can spend on equipment, plus any starting gear specified in the class description. All characters are assumed to start with at least one outfit of average quality and little else. The starting money represents possessions acquired over time and doesn’t include small trophies or knick-knacks with sentimental value.

Carrying Capacity

Characters can carry a number of small items equal to their strength stat without penalty. For each increment of carried gear beyond the first, they become progressively encumbered.

For example, a character with a strength of 12 can easily carry 12 small items, 6 Medium items, or 3 large items. If they carry more than that they become encumbered. For the second increment worth of items carried they are at a Medium load, and all attacks, athletics and conditioning checks are at -2. On the third increment of items carried they are at a Heavy load and -4, and then at the fourth increment they are at an extreme load and -6. This is the most that a character is able to carry.

Load Carried Penalty
1st increment carried	Light Load	No Penalty
2nd increment carried	Medium Load	-2
3rd increment carried	Heavy Load	-4
4th increment carried	Extreme Load	-6
Penalty applies to Attacks, Athletics, and Conditioning checks.

Item sizes double their slot use for each increment in size increase.

2 Tiny Items=1 Small Item

2 Small Items=1 Medium item

2 Medium Items=1 Large item (4 Small Items)

2 Large Items=1 Oversized Item (8 Small Items)

2 Oversized Items = 1 Heavy Item (16 Small items)

Table: Item Size / Weight ranges
Tiny Items	<=1lb
Small Items	1 to 2 lbs
Medium Items	3 to 5 lbs
Large Items	6 to 15 lbs
Oversized	16 to 25 lbs
Heavy	26 to 50 lbs

Using mismatched sizes

It might be easy to think that a small person could pick up a Medium-sized arming sword and use it as a long sword, but the reality is the size of the handle and balance of the blade would render it useless to the smaller combatant. To represent this, each size category different between the weapon and attacker puts the attacker at -2 on attack, and the damage for the actual size of the weapon is the effective useful damage.

For example, if a Medium character picks up a small longsword, which does 1-6, they could try to use it as an arming sword. It retains the small statistics, such as weight and reach, but the size difference, the small grip and odd balance would put the Medium attacker at minus one edge.

Weapon Equipment Quality

The quality of a piece of equipment makes a significant difference in its effectiveness.

Item Breakage and Wear

Weapons, armor, and shields in Adventure’s Edge are not indestructible. Equipment degrades under stress, heavy impact, and misuse. Breakage is intended to represent long-term wear and battlefield damage, not minor cosmetic scratches.

Every applicable item has a Breakage Score. This determines how much structural punishment the item can endure before becoming unusable.

Breakage Score and Damage Track

An item’s Breakage Score determines how many damage boxes it has.

When an item suffers breakage damage, mark one box.

Once an item reaches half of its Breakage Score (rounded up), any further damage is marked from the right side of the track. Damage marked on the right side represents structural failure.

• Damage marked on the left side may be repaired in the field.
• Damage marked on the right side requires professional repair or magic.
• When all boxes are filled, the item is broken.

A broken item cannot be used for its intended purpose.

Some items may be repairable by a skilled craftsman. Others, once broken, are ruined beyond recovery without magic.

Weapons

Weapons suffer breakage primarily through mishaps and misuse.

A weapon takes 1 point of breakage damage when:

• The attacker rolls a natural 1 and triggers a mishap result of 3–6 (Weapon Damage).
• The weapon is deliberately targeted and struck successfully.
• The weapon strikes a hardened surface such as stone, iron bars, or magical wards.
• The weapon is subjected to destructive environmental effects such as acid, crushing force, or extreme heat.
• The Gamemaster determines the weapon has suffered unusual stress.

Armor

Armor suffers breakage when it absorbs catastrophic impact.

When a combatant wearing armor is struck by a natural 20, the armor takes 1 point of breakage damage, regardless of whether the armor fully absorbs the attack.

Armor damage represents cracked plates, split seams, bent rings, or torn padding.

Shields

Shields degrade through active defense.

When a shield is used to parry an attack, the defender temporarily increases their Defense as normal.

If the final attack total falls within the shield’s parry margin — meaning the attack would have hit the defender’s base Defense but is stopped by the shield/parry bonus — the shield absorbs the blow and takes 1 point of breakage damage.

Shield breakage reflects cumulative structural impact.

Shields typically have higher Breakage Scores than weapons because they are designed to absorb repeated force.

Materials and Durability

Different materials affect durability. The Breakage Score listed for an item reflects its construction.

As a general guideline:

• Crude or bone weapons have lower Breakage Scores.
• Wooden weapons and shields are less durable than metal equivalents.
• Steel versions typically have approximately double the durability of wooden versions.
• Fine craftsmanship or superior alloys may increase Breakage further.

The Breakage Score listed in equipment tables already reflects material quality unless otherwise noted.

Magic Items

Magic reinforces structure.

A magic weapon or shield ignores a number of breakage damage equal to its enhancement bonus per combat. Damage beyond that threshold applies normally.

Magic armor ignores breakage damage from the first natural 20 it suffers each combat per point of enhancement bonus.

Magic items are still not indestructible, but they are far more resilient than mundane equipment.

Repairs

Field Repair:

• Requires appropriate crafting proficiency.
• Requires basic tools.
• Removes damage marked on the left side only.
• Takes one Exploration Interval per repair attempt.
• May require materials at the Gamemaster’s discretion.

Professional Repair:

• Requires a trained craftsman.
• Can repair right-side damage if the item is not fully broken.
• Costs coin and requires downtime.

Magic may restore breakage damage at the Gamemaster’s discretion.

Broken Items

When an item’s Breakage Score is fully depleted, it is broken.

• Broken weapons cannot be used to attack.
• Broken armor provides no protection.
• Broken shields cannot be used to parry.

Improvised use of broken equipment is at the Gamemaster’s discretion and is typically ineffective.

Armor

Armor Penalties are cumulative by body part - meaning add the torso penalty, then the leg penalty once, and the arm penalty once.

Example: A chainmail shirt -3, combined with chainmail arm greaves -1, and chainmail leg greaves -1, would result in a -5 total penalty. Armor Training reduces this penalty by 3, Advanced Armor training by 3 more.

Armor penalties apply to attacks and athletic checks.

Armor contributes to Encumbrance weight, and encumbrance and armor penalties stack.

Travel Services

Adventurers rarely walk everywhere. Coaches, riverboats, trains, and ships offer faster and often safer means of travel between settlements.

Costs listed are typical rates for basic passage. Prices may vary depending on distance, demand, and conditions.

Service	Cost per Day	Distance Traveled
Coach Service	10	~30–40 miles (road dependent)
Riverboat Passage	5	~25–35 miles (with current)
Train Passage	15	~80–120 miles (fixed routes)
Ship Passage (Coastal-Overseas)	10	~60–100 miles

Vehicles

Vehicles increase transport capacity and may improve travel Attack Type on suitable terrain.

Vehicles:

• Require appropriate animals (unless human-drawn).
• Cannot traverse dense forest, swamp, or mountains without prepared paths.
• Suffer damage from rough terrain.
• Do not remove exposure effects unless enclosed.
