Equipment Emporium Supplement

[feveredmonk]

It means that the item is optional and left under the GM ruling, it may or may not be part of his game.
Some GMs rule that w/out a spell pouch Magic Users can't cast spells, its a simplified take on magical components.

Ah ... so the intent is for spell components. I figured as much, but wanted to ask. Thanks.

Okay, so working my way through the supplement again.

I've dropped the rustproofing oil; it lacks mechanics for the resistance it grants, and given that this is a print publication I really don't want things that change the rules. Same goes for the spell pouch, which had even less explanation and would change a core class.

Also, the "bore" and "sow" from the Siege Engines section conflicts with the "screw" and "sow" from Strongholds in the Core Rules. I'm not surprised those items were overlooked; one of my action items in the R108 Final Tasks list was to add them to Siege Engines in the Core Rules. I'll reconcile them with each other and make sure the description in the Core Rules is the correct and only explanation.

Most of the rest is fine, just needs format corrections due to the new fonts. The new art is really looking good!

Final R27 is ready to upload... but I don't have Joe Ludlum's consent. Didn't even realize he hadn't checked in. Now waiting to hear from him.

This is the first official 4th Edition CC BY-SA release of the Equipment Emporium, and amazingly it might even be a print release candidate!

Well, I already know it's not a print release candidate. There's a font error on the TITLE PAGE. Gah.

I'm fairly confident in the text situation here but less so about the fonts. Give this a look-see, guys, and let me know if you see any issues.

I've swept up your corrections for R28. Thanks!

I honestly wish I could have done more with the Core Rules. But I'm glad I had time to read these 50 pages...

I do love this book.
