==Equipment==

This appendix details equipment and pricing from the fantasy
world of "Alvatia", and is suited for a fantasy/medieval oriented
FANGS campaign.

==Coinage==

Most prices are in quoted in silver sovereigns (ss). The
silver sovereign is about the size of an American nickel. The largest coin is
the gold crown (gc) which is the same size as a silver sovereign, and is worth
25 silver sovereigns. The smallest coin is the copper bits (cb) -- about the
size of an American penny -- 100 copper bits is worth 1 sovereign.

Note that a silver sovereign represents the average daily wage
of most workmen, or will bring one a night at a good inn, including a couple of
simple meals and perhaps a pint or two of hard cider. Living frugally, 7 to 10
silver sovereigns will keep one for a month! Thus, 100 silver sovereigns
represents a small fortune, the equivalent of 1/4 to 1/3 of a year's income for
most people in the medieval world.

==Starting Funds==

Unless modified by an Advantage or Disadvantage, characters
start with 100 silver sovereigns (ss). This is equal to 10,000 copper bits (cb)
or 4 gold crowns (gc). These can be used to purchase the possessions the
character starts with.

Only the following items can be purchased before play begins,
and note that these items may not be available or may be more expensive in the
game.

Each point of Stun Protection (SP) in armor causes a one point
penalty against your character's Dodge Roll and the AG related skills of Climb,
Jump, Hide, Run and Sneak.

'''Leathers''' -- Leathers are
the simplest form of armor, as they are basically clothes made from soft
leather rather than cloth. They normally consists of a leather shirt tied in
the front, a leather cap, and leather trousers tied with a drawstring. Once
broken in leathers can be quite comfortable. They are the only armor that can
reasonably be slept in.

'''Jack''' -- The jack is
probably the most popular form of armor, as it is legal to wear it in most
towns. It consists of a reinforced leather jacket with hood worn over a cloth
tunic, and leather trews worn over trousers. They are reasonably comfortable to
wear, but are uncomfortable to sleep in.

'''Hauberk (Leather, Ring, Scale, or Mail)''' -- This is a pullover tunic worn over specially made padded clothing.
It covers the shoulders, chest, stomach, upper arms and legs down to the knees.
It can be made of leather, ring, scale, or mail, and includes a coif (hood that
covers head and throat) and leather trews to cover the legs. This type of armor
is normally available only to the constabulary and the military. It is against
the law in most towns and cities to wear a hauberk unless one is on duty. A
hauberk is also quite uncomfortable and encumbering.

'''Light Chain''' -- The armor
of knights and higher nobility. It consists of a chain mail byrnie (tunic), a
separate mail coif, a plate helm, and mail trews. It is worn over leather tunic
over a padded cotton undertunic, and over leather trews. Typically the links of
light chain are much finer and tighter than is common with other chain armors.
In addition, it must be custom 'fitted' to the owner. It provides just a little
more protection than a mail hauberk, but is much more comfortable. Although
made for war, light chain is also required during many of the ceremonies of the
nobility, thus is often decorated and even fanciful. A surcoat is usually worn
over light chain, but is not included with the chain price.

'''Plate Mail''' -- The same
as Light Chain, but with additional steel plates protecting torso, joints,
shoulders, and neck. It is never worn except during war, and is quite
uncomfortable and encumbering.

==Variable Armor==

In real life, armor was frequently not uniform
all over the wearerâs body. Mercenaries and troops gathered to be cannon fodder
were often lucky to have a cuirass on their torso and a helmet. Armor is also
fatiguing and hot, particularly in close quarters with no air circulation.
Roman soldiers of the later periods could often be tracked by the discarded
pieces of armor they left behind.

Rather than track what piece of armor is on
what part of the body, players can adjust for this method of armor wearing by
using a randomizing element. Determine the minimum protection a character is
wearing, such as 2 points for tough leather, and add a die roll to see what
thickness of armor is covering the leather at any point a character is hit.

Example: Gru is uncomfortable with armor on
his arms and legs, and decides that he has no armor there at all. Elsewhere he
may be wearing anything from simple clothes (1 point) to some ring armor (4
points). The characterâs armor roll is 1d6-1. If a blow lands there might be as
much as 5 points of protection (6-1) because some clothing is under the
ringmail. Or there might be no protection at all (1-1).

Saul, who has a greater regard for the
integrity of his skin, has a leather hauberk covering almost all of him, and
some heavy chain (or equivalent) protecting the particularly vital spots. His
roll is 1d4 2, giving a range from 3 (the heavy leather) to 6 (the chain
hauberk).

The cost of variable armor like this is half
that given in the price list for a complete set of armor. If combining sets
like Saul in the above sample, both the leather hauberk and the chain mail are
half price (a leather hauberk is actually part of the chain mail, so there is
no add to damage protection for having one over the other â it would be there
regardless.).

==Melee Weapons (Weaponcrafter)==

Weapons made by a guild weaponcrafter are of very high quality
hardwood and steel, thus their high prices. Common weapons are usually made of
more ordinary wood and iron.
