Items, Inventory & Assets

Introduction​

This section covers the most common non-equipments a character will purchase:

  • Mounts: - Horses and the like, for those who have the Rider talents. Cavalry and horsemanship is an integral part of Drase's gameplay, appropriate for its period where mounted warfare were dominant.
  • Potions - Specifically, Potions, which a skilled fighter can use to supplement their fight. However, they're quite expensive despite being powerful, and can take a significant chunk out of your quest rewards.
  • Healing Items - There are some non-potion healing items that are useful for dealing with wounds. Cautious fighters or players going on long campaign may want to purchase some of these.
  • Ammunition - Ammunition are specifically not tracked in Drase except in exceptional circumstances. Firing ammunition generally does not cost your characters any money - ammunition prices listed in the item list are for flavor and world understanding purpose.
  • Assets - Assets are special items bought with asset fund instead of normal fund (Equipment Fund), they are mostly for flavor, and represent your character's hopefully accumulating properties and clout.

Mounts​

Your character may wish to purchase mounts - for more information on those mounts (Especially whether your character can ride them), please see the Bestiary . Mounts may be useful for carrying goods or for roleplay purpose outside of combat:

  • Mule - 300 Silver
  • Draft Horse - 450 silver
  • Riding Horse - 900 silver
  • Riding Boar - 900 silver
  • War Camel - 1200 silver
  • Redblood Horse - 3500 silver
  • Miad Horse - 3500 silver
  • Air Strider - 3500 silver
  • Southwestern War Elephant - 20000 silver
  • Mogash War Elephant - 30000 silver

Mounts have the following special rules:

  • You cannot move independently and cannot hide, and move on top of the creature. The creature may move and dash, and it may not attack on its own unless specified otherwise. You follow your mount's movement. You can only mount creatures 2x or more of your size.
  • If the rider is displaced or knocked prone, they are knocked off their mount. If the mount is targeted by an attack and it misses, it provokes an OA from the rider. In addition, the rider gains 1 attack bonus on all melee attacks against creatures smaller than their mount.
  • If incapacitated, your mount must receive adequate medical care to recover and be usable. The price is 20% of its price paid in silver. Price is halved if you or a party member have any spells that can heal wounds.
  • You needs the Rider talent to control a mount in battle.

Most mounts have a very low AC - it is possible to purchase mount armor to compensate for them. There are three tiers available, and they can be applied to mount of Size 3 or below:

  • Light Armor- 300 silver, full body coverage made out of gambeson and leather, set AC to 13.
  • Medium Armor - 1500 silver, full body coverage made out of linen with mail and plates covering vital parts, set AC to 16.
  • Full Plate Armor - 4500 silver, full body coverage made out of plate or mail covering even the lower legs, set AC to 20.
  • Elephant Iron Plates - 15000 silver, a luxurious, expensive covering made out of wrought iron and steel covering tusks and most of the elephant’s body, set AC to 20. Only for elephants.

Potions​

Potions are magical liquids that provide effects once drunk. Potions usually replicate the effect of certain spells.

Potion Description: A potion usually consists of a 50 ml container, usually made out of copper or bronze, with a stopper on top, and is meant to be drunk quickly.

Usage of Potion: Using a potion requires a full action and provoke an OA from those in melee reach. It can be applied to willing allies for the same full-action. Potion can be administered to an unconscious person as a full action.

Casting: When a potion imitates a spell, the potion applier acts as the caster and the drinker as the target. A potion can only consist of a single target spell.

Potion Saturation: Drinking too many potions leads to it not working anymore. Per 24-hour period (Not long rest!), a person may ingest up to three potions. Any more than that will have no effect and may narratively lead to liver damage. Everytime an excessive potion is drunk, the subject takes 3d6 unavoidable damage. The subject glows visibly blue and magical energy pour open from pore in their skin leaving them visibly bleeding.

To calculate this - consider ingesting a potion to start a 24 hours timer during which there must not be more than three overlapping timers.

Level Requirements: Some potions are considered higher tier than others - requiring the recipient to have a certain level to withstand its effects - otherwise, they take 3d6 unavoidable damage. The subject glows visibly blue and magical energy pour open from pore in their skin leaving them visibly bleeding.

Requirements: Potion can be brewed with the appropriate talent. However, the brewer must have access to the appropriate raw materials, which is listed alongside the description.

  • During a slice of life roleplay (Not a dynamic encounter), you may roleplay brewing and selling potions. In a stationary, well-stocked settings, you can expect to be able to brew 10 + Your Level * 2 Potions per day. However, these are not added to your inventory, it is just part of your daily job.
  • Outside of a campaign, you may stockpile up to 6 potions at half-price, any potions in excess of that amount costs you the full price.
  • During an active quest / campaign, you may Brew / Create up to 6 potions per day, costing you half their base SP prices. This requires you to justify access to the materials (Be near a significant town, forest, or transmute the materials). The base SP price is charged regardless to account for other material costs.
  • The amount of potion brewed is increased to 8 if you have a Simple Alchemy Set handy, 10 if you have a Complete set and 12 if you have a Quality set.
  • Your character must have at least 10 minutes of free time per potion brewed and the appropriate tools and materials. See potion section for more details.
  • You may brew Tier 1 Potion & Healing Items. Tier 2 Potion if you are Level 3 or above, and Tier 3 Potion if you are Level 5 or above.
  • All of your unused brewed or created potions and salves by the end of a campaign will be refunded for its creation cost.
  • Potion Brewing requires a cooking vessel at least 10 times as big as the target potion, kit to isolate and filtrate liquid (an Alchemist’s Kit), a source of heat, and the talent plus 10 minutes of cooking time while the brewer actively tends it.
  • Each potion requires a “starter kit” consisting of various unnamed magical ingredients, around 100 mil heavy solution, that most alchemists carry with them to transform into a real potion once they find the material. Starters also vary by potion, with higher tier potions costing more in terms of starter.
  • The listed materials in a potion are must-need materials for a potion to be brewed - the rest can be substituted with (unnamed substances) that can be found in a starter kit or bought locally easily. If the player has access to a town that sells those materials, the potion can be made easily, if not, then they must figure out how to gather them naturally nearby.
  • Potion requires the active injection of magic to make it work - therefore even the most skilled alchemists can only create a limited amount of potion per day, limited not by materials but by themselves.

Potions are split into multiple tiers. Some potions are so powerful that the character must be of a certain level:

If ingested more than three times in one month, the user gains an addiction and must use it once a week or suffers withdrawal, inflicting a permanent Confused effect on them.

The dreams are almost universally enjoyable and perceived as an enlightening experience. After the session, the user may gain an inspiration or thought breakthrough on a problem that they were attempting to solve, gaining up to 3 bonuses and potentially lowering the DC of a relevant check for the next 24 hours - at a GM’s discretion, and a GM can use the session as a way to give a player hint constructed from knowledge that they already have.

Other Potion Usages​

Potions can be imbued into food and give the food the same effect as a potion - though given the volume of a potion it is likely to adversely affect the tastes and make it obvious that the food is adultered and unusually soggy - unless a very skilled chef was involved. Inside a bottle a potion have a long expiration date - outside of the bottle, the potion can be expected to last around a week before its beneficial effect expires.

Healing Items​

Other than potion, there are less magical or non-liquid healing items available.

Adventuring Essentials:

  • Healing Salve: An alchemically prepared salve of “primordial material”, in a half kilo, massive tube, that is applied to the skin and heals wounds. This item is intended for efficient out of combat use - not in the middle of a fight, though one could use it in the middle of a break in fighting. It can be applied as a full-action (provoking an OA), restoring 5 HP by healing up wounds and numbing pain. If a tube is opened and not fully used, it expires within 5 minutes. Can be used once per person per day. 10 uses. 20 sp.
  • Wound Pack: A pack of “primordial material” - swirling red jelly, salted and dried meat and runic scroll, packaged in a 5 kilos pack for convenient use by military or adventurers. Each pack can heal a wound that is not a severed or destroyed limb in unskilled hand, by pressing the rune against their pack and pushing the materials provided “into” it over the course of 10 minutes. 500 sp.

Ammunition​

Track this as normal, however, your currently equipped equipment should be in the Attacks section above. Ammunition (not thrown weapons) depletion is usually not tracked after combat - expenses, picking them up and replenishing them is seen as part of your character’s daily work. We’ll presume your character has ammunition 99% of the time.

Asset Fund​

As your character adventures, you will accumulate more and more Asset Funds, which will let you purchase houses and other items for vanity. You can find the options your character has in . Anything labeled Asset can be bought using your Asset Fund. Which you start with 2500 S of.

You can convert normal silver into asset funds at a 1 to 1 ratio. This is a one way operation and you cannot go back on it - asset fund may not be converted into normal silver.
