Hi

Will be buying M/C thief's tools, spell component pouch, wineskin etc.
Whatever Armour I can afford (Leather)?, plus free club & sling. Also buying dagger.

Cheers
Paul H

+ a longbow. I really need to sort this kitlist (Balgin)

[Custom_Hobby]

How do we get free stuff?

[PaulH]

Hi

'Free' as in the PHB lists items at no cost. Basically the sling is a scrud* of spare cloth, the club is a something fashioned from a bit of wood/chair leg, etc. Daggers are 'proper' weapons, with better critical multipliers, and so are not free.
Club: Simple weapon. D6+Str dam, Crit 20x2 Bludgeoning
Sling: Simple Weapon. Dam varies, Crit 20x2. Range Increment 50'. Bludgeoning

Sling (lead) Bullets have a cost, and do D4+Str damage, whilst pebbles (also free), only do D3+Str damage.

I fully intend to 'salvage' better weapons from slain enemies - it's just I've got more important things to uy with my limited starting gold.

Cheers
Paul H
