Book:Equipment
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 (π€), 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 500π€ unless they have purchased the Wealth trump.
Clothing
Sometimes it's not who you know, but how you dress. Here are some examples of outfits available for your character to purchase.
Name | Cost |
---|---|
Royal Clothes | 500π€ |
Noble Court Clothes | 300π€ |
Cold Weather Clothes | 100π€ |
Woodsman's Clothes | 50π€ |

- Padded Armor β Armor which is made of layered fabric, such as cotton, linen, wool, or even soft leather, and is usually quilted. Sometimes referred to as a gambeson or a jupon. Often padded armor is a single, long garment that partially covers the thighs.
- Brigandine β A heavy cloth surcoat reinforced with numerous metal rivets. While offering decent, lightweight protection on its own, it makes for an excellent outer layer for mail.
- Lamellar β Lamellar armor is composed of many small plates of hardened and laminated leather or metal laced into a padded backing, and generally includes a breastplate, thigh, shin, arm, and wristguards, though it may also take the form of a rather stiff, calf-length coat with short sleeves and bracers.
- Mail β A mail shirt, called a hauberk, is knee-length and woven from hundred of interlocking metal rings, worn over a lightly padded gambeson. A suit of mail also includes a coif covering the head, chausses to cover the legs, and mail-reinforced gauntlets. Mail is heavier and more movement restricting than lighter armors, but offers a high degree of protection against Slashing and Piercing attacks.
- Cuirass β Commonly called a breastplate, the simplest type of cuirass encloses the vital organs of the torso in boiled or laminated leather. Cuirasses of bronze, forged iron, or steel tend to consist of two to four durable metal plates held together with leather straps and laces. While a cuirass offers solid defense for chest and back, it is best worn over padded armor to ensure some degree of protection for the limbs.
- Plate β A suit of metal plates affixed in certain vital locations. Poleyns are strapped over the knees, cuisses over the thighs, couters cover the elbows, pauldrons the shoulders, and a cuirass protects the torso. A tasset is attached below the cuirass to cover the hips. This suit also includes gauntlets and greaves. Plate armor is very noisy and restrictive to movement, but provides great protection.
- Full Plate β A finely-crafted suit of armor that is individually fitted to the wearer. Full suits of plate armor are tremendously expensive; even the plainest suit of full plate marks the wearer as someone of wealth, and many are elaborately adorned to show status and lineage. Each piece of the armor is riveted and interlocked with another piece, providing total covering of the body from head to toe. A helmet with a visor is included, along with sabatons covering the feet and gauntlets for the hand. The pieces of armor are strapped to a layer of padded armor beneath. Full plate is heavy and restrictive, but provides the best protection possible in a pre-gunpowder age.
Mods
- Ornate β +1 to Leadership, Negotiate, and Intimidate. Cost is additional 50% and repair cost is additional 25%.
- Well-made β +1 to Armor bonus. Cost is additional 50%.
A combatant wearing armor with a score greater than 5 (being anything above breastplate) will take a minus to his or her Dodge skill. A character wearing chain mail will take a β1, scale will take a β2 and so on. The GM might also require that such an armored character would take this penalty to physical skill checks such as Grip, Swim, Run, Gymnastics, Stealth, Thievery, and perhaps even Perception (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 Dodge/Parry Roll.

- Riding Horse β 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 an Animal Control check (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 β 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 β 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 β 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 β Bullhounds are the preferred mounts of Goblyn warriors. Bullhounds also make great guard dogs.
