Equipment

In the marketplace of a big city, armorsmiths and weapon-smiths offer a wide variety of arms and armor for those with the gold to buy them. Here you can find practical, sturdy swords and perhaps a few elven blades of exceptional quality. Alchemists sell acid, alchemist’s fire, and smokesticks for those who want something flashier than a trusty blade. Wizards (or, more likely, their brokers) even sell magic scrolls, wands, weapons, and other items.

This chapter covers the mundane and exotic merchandise that characters may want to purchase and how to go about doing so. (Magic items are covered in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.)
