okay i cant find a time appropriate list for equipment other than weapons.  SO tell me what you want and ill get you a DC from looking at similar stuff and doing research then we start.

Does anyone need anything else or want something I havent mentioned?

Let's see. Probably some sort of pistol, assuming it's not prohibitively expensive. The various materials needed for carrying out physical science experiments. Some armor, if it's plausible.

the only equipment I can think of that wasn't purchased already is the story driven stuff that Thomas likely wouldn't carry with him all the time, like his artisan tools (which would likely be heavy), and some extra clothes (given his finances he isn't buying more than the basics until that changes).

The DCs look good. Though I would swap human mutilation and rivers of blood, IMO. Human destruction is disturbing but not unnatural like the river. Also you forgot a DC for the aliens, I suspect 22 since it fits the pattern. And I'm guessing those are meant to be will saves?

Clerics and Druids are like the 4 and 2 in 42. Together they are the answer to the ultimate question in D&D.

i based them off the CoC list, yes they're willpower DC's, added the last DC
I think the river of blood DC is lower because you can rationalize it (a horrible battle took place downstream, im not going that way)



clothes business (DC 12)
casual (DC 8)
formal (DC 15)
coat (DC 8)
overcoat (DC 9)
toolbelt (DC 9)


we'll go with the same price for artisan tools as the mechanical tools above

Hrm. You said longarms were cheaper, bhu? I don't suppose I could trouble you for a list of those?

Getting my equipment up now. My apartment got broken into. Comp got stolen, as well as a few other light electronic items, window smashed, etc. Anywho, had to dig out my old 2005 desktop (which is too old to play sc2 properly...) to post. Sorry for the lateness.

Nah, I'll just go with what we have here. Let's see, starting wealth bonus of 10...

An acid vial (DC 6)
A toolbelt (DC 9)
A crossbow (DC 9)
12 bolts (DC 5)
Casual clothing (DC 8)
An overcoat (DC 9)

That should all be essentially free, since it's all below the threshold. Now for the expensive stuff. We'll assume I took ten on each of these.

Advanced mechanical tool kit (DC 20; drops wealth to 9)
Chemical kit (DC 16; drops wealth to 8)
Buff coat (DC 11; drops wealth to 7)

How's that look? This is assuming we don't need to bother keeping track of mundane things like food, shelter, and the like. At first, anyway.

Posting Items, then posting my action. Pumped for this!

Starting Wealth +8:
-Casual Clothing (DC8, -0 Wealth)
-Musket Powder and shot x 12 (DC 8, -0 Wealth)
-Knife (DC 7, -0 Wealth)
-Ferguson Rifle (DC 18, -1 Wealth: W7) - Obviously he'd have an attachment to this rifle...
-Buff Coat (DC 12, -1 Wealth: W6)
-Messenger Bag (DC 6, -0 Wealth) - I'm going with a Contractor's field bag as a base for it, unless you want something else.

Can't really think of anything else he'd have on him at a given time...

Just to be sure:
Wealth Bonus: 2d4 + 2 = +8
Free stuff:
- Casual Clothing (DC 8)
- Raincoat (DC 8)
- Compass (DC 5)
- Spyglass (DC 7) (from standard binoculars in SRD)
- Flint and tinder (DC I don't care)
- Matchbox (DC I care even less)
- 2x torch (DC 2) (from chemical light sticks in SRD)
- 100 ft. hempen rope (DC 5)
- Maps of Philadelphia and the known new world (DC 3)
- First aid kit (DC 5) (contains bandages, needle and thread and a flask of alcohol)
- Knife (DC 7)
- .57 caliber bullets, 10 shots + gunpowder (DC 8 or so)
- Halberd (DC 6)
- Wooly blanket (DC little)

Expensive Stuff:
- Brown Bess (DC 13) (-1)
- Buffcoat (DC 11) (-1)
- Survivalist's Backpack (DC 10) (-1)

Wealth bonus is now +5.

Note that I won't be running errands with a friggin' halberd on my back, so all equipment that has location "home" or "pack" is not with me at the very start of the campaign.
