Items and Inventory

Inventory

A character has inventory slots equal to their Fierce x 2 + 10. Most items take up one slot, but exceptions are listed. Mobs pool their inventory slots. A single person couldn’t carry all the meat from a Tusk Tiger, but a mob could.

While some items would just be required for a task (you can’t chop down a tree without an axe), many items grant bonuses to applicable dice rolls. For instance, a spear would grant a +2 bonus to Fierce rolls used to attack. Finer versions of items exist as well. While a regular spear may be a +2, a masterfully crafted one may be a +3 or more.

When adding item dice to your pool, make sure they are a different color or easily distinguishable in some other way. If the die rolls a 1, the item is worn from its use and receives a -1 to its bonus. If an item gets to a negative modifier, it’s broken and useless. Might as well toss it aside.

There is no currency in Acid Age. You can’t buy a bow with gold pieces. Your tribe either has an item or it doesn’t. Resources are shared freely (unless the Acid Master says otherwise. Coups happen…)

Digging in the Sand

Bones. So many bones. How many people have been buried here?

You find a rusty long sword and a small, golden vulture head worth 250 gp.

Red Sand

The sand here on the edge of the sacrificial ground is loose and looks recently churned.

Vulture Priest

The Vulture Priests are the enemy of knowledge and enlightenment. They seek to bring the eternal silence, the end of all things. Decay and obedience is their only god.

Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
