Every adventurer needs stuff. Whether it be weapons and armor for waging war, horses and wagons for cross-country traveling, food and shelter for surviving in the wilderness, or specialized gear for pulling off whatever feats your character aspires to, there is one place to find everything your character might need: right here.

Wealth

Wealth in the Elysium RPG is measured in Sovereigns (𝕀), which are also commonly called "crowns", with both terms stemming from the common practice of minting coins with popular current and past rulers or heroes on one face.

Starting characters begin the game with 500𝕀 unless they have purchased the Wealth trump.

Weapons

Action Points
This details the number of Action Points necessary to use the weapon.
Parry
The bonus the weapon grants the character on a Defense Roll when the weapon is used to parry an attack.
Hurt
The amount of damage the weapon does on its own, which is factored into the Attack Roll.
Type
The type of Hurt the weapon inflicts. Either Slashing, Bludgeoning, or Piercing. Certain spells, items and armor protect better against certain types of Hurt.
Notes
Any relevant notes about the weapon.

Blades

  • Dagger/Knife – A small weapon, with either one or two bladed edges. Useful as a backup in close-quarters combat.
  • Short Sword/Gladius – A thrusting sword usually no longer than 2–3 feet.
  • Longsword – Very popular among soldiers and infantry, usually around 4 feet in length. Mostly held in one hand.
  • Bastard Sword – Also known as the hand-and-a-half sword. Can be held in one or two hands. When held in two hands, it provides more power and leverage to the wielder. Usually around 4–5 feet in length.
  • Greatsword – An extremely large and powerful weapon. Must be held in two hands. Often up to 6–7 feet in length.
  • Rapier – A noble and graceful sword, mostly used for fencing and piercing.

Axes

Throwing Axe – A simple axe useful for hand-to-hand, but primarily adept at being thrown. Usually less than 2 feet in length. Hatchet/Hand Axe – Slightly bigger than a throwing axe, with a flat end of the head that can be used as a hammer. Berserker Axe – Made with a solid wooden shaft and a curved axe head.

Sized Weapons

Armor

Sometimes the only thing between you and the business end of a nasty pig-sticker is a few scant pieces of leather and metal.

Name Bonus Notes Hindrance Cost
Padded 1 0 50𝕀
Leather 2 0 150𝕀
Reinforced Leather 3 0 250𝕀
Half-Chain 4 0 600𝕀
Breastplate 5 0 800𝕀
Chain Mail 6 1 1100𝕀
Scale Mail 7 2 1,600𝕀
Half Plate 8 3 3,500𝕀
Field Plate 9 4 8,000𝕀

A combatant wearing armor with a score greater than 5 (being anything above breastplate) will take a minus to his or her Dodge skill in the Defense Roll. A character wearing chain mail will take a βˆ’1, scale will take a βˆ’2 and so on. The GM might also require that such an armored character would take this penalty to physical skill checks such as Climb, Swim, Athletics, Gymnastics, Sneak, and perhaps even Spot (if wearing a fully-enclosed helm).

Characters that use shields don't actually receive any sort of armor bonus. Instead, they use the shield for parrying during their Defense Roll.

Mounts and Animals

Name Cost
Riding Horse 800𝕀
Warhorse 2,000𝕀
Blackbeak 4,000𝕀
Donkey 50𝕀
Bullhound 1,000𝕀
Leather Barding 700𝕀
Steel Barding 2,000𝕀
War Barding 10,000𝕀
  • Riding Horse – Horses serve as excellent transportation and beasts of burden. However, most horses do not fare well in the chaos of combat. Riding horses require their riders to make Personality + Animal Control or Agility + Ride checks (2 AP) against a DL of 12 for each round of combat to keep the horse from throwing its rider and running away. If the check is failed, the rider takes the difference as damage.
  • Warhorse – Warhorses are trained in the arts of warfare and do not require their riders to make checks to avoid being throw simply because they are in combat.
  • Donkey – Donkeys and mules are perfect beasts for hauling heavy gear or awkward tools, or for pulling heavy objects in a harness. Donkeys make poor mounts for combat purposes and will always throw their rider and run away if confronted with hostile forces.
  • Blackbeak – Blackbeaks are stout, bipedal mounts with short vestigial wings and powerful legs, which they use to jump large distances and propel themselves furiously over land. They derive their name from their sharp beaks which are capable of easily rending flesh. Blackbeaks make poor beasts of burden, since their frame is not suited for much cargo, but make great mounts in combat thanks to their aggressive natures and the ease with which they are domesticated. For more information on these creatures, see the Blackbeak entry.
  • Bullhound – Bullhounds are the preferred mounts of Goblyn warriors. Bullhounds also make great guard dogs.
