Adventuring Gear

A backpack is a carried container for basic supplies, travel gear, and loose adventuring equipment. It can hold a limited amount of gear and can also have bulky items strapped outside it.

A bedroll is portable sleeping gear for travel, wilderness camps, and rough lodging. It is ordinary equipment and does not create a rest by itself; the normal rest rules still decide what a character recovers.

A mess kit is compact eating and cooking equipment for a traveler. It covers ordinary camp-meal needs such as a cup, simple utensils, and a small pan or plate surface.

A tinderbox carries basic fire-starting supplies. Lighting a torch or another exposed fuel source takes an action, while starting a less prepared fire normally takes 1 minute.

A torch is a simple carried light source. Once lit, it burns for 1 hour, sheds bright light nearby and dim light farther out, and can deal minor fire damage when used to hit with a burning melee attack.

Rations are preserved travel food for one day. They are useful when characters cannot rely on foraging, inns, kitchens, or other normal food sources during exploration.

A waterskin is a portable water container for travel and exploration. Its listed weight assumes it is full, and it holds enough liquid to matter when tracking supplies.

Hempen rope is a 50-foot length of ordinary rope used for climbing, tying, hauling, securing gear, and improvised problem solving. It has 2 HP and can be burst with a DC 17 Strength check.

A crowbar is a sturdy metal lever used to pry open stuck objects, force apart materials, and apply mechanical leverage. When leverage can reasonably help, using a crowbar grants advantage on relevant Strength checks.

A grappling hook is a hooked climbing aid normally used with rope. It helps secure a line to a ledge, wall, branch, railing, or other anchor point when climbing or hauling gear.

A healer's kit contains bandages, salves, and splints for emergency care. As an action, you can expend one use to stabilize a creature that has 0 HP without making a Wisdom (Medicine) check.

A flask of oil can fuel lanterns or be used as a small hazardous surface. It can cover a creature or a 5-foot square, and when ignited it can add or deal 5 fire damage according to the oil use.

A bullseye lantern focuses light in a long cone instead of spreading it evenly. It burns for 6 hours on one flask of oil, shedding bright light in a 60-foot cone and dim light for another 60 feet.

A hooded lantern is a reusable light source that can be covered to reduce its glow. It burns for 6 hours on one flask of oil, normally shedding bright and dim light, or only dim light when hooded.

An explorer's pack is a bundled set of adventuring gear for overland travel, dungeon exploration, and basic survival supplies.
