| Air Bladder |

Slung |

Exploration |
This is an airtight leather sack that can aid characters in many varied situations underground. The bag has two principal purposes: as a flotation device and as a very limited air supply container. When used for flotation, an air bladder is filled with air and held by a character in the water. Air bladders generally have several straps for just such a purpose. A character holding an air bladder does not have to exert himself to remain afloat, nor does he need to be able to swim. By kicking, the character can move at 1/3 of his normal swimming speed. Of course, the effects of hypothermia can still endanger characters using air bladders. The secondary function of an air bladder is to provide air to a
character who might otherwise suffocate or drown. If the character is resting, an air bladder can provide him with enough air to last a full turn. The rate of air consumption increases at the proportions described under the Air Supply rules (page 36 of the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide) when the character exerts himself. |

A beacon is essentially a very bright lantern that is too large to be carried by hand. It must be mounted on some kind of structure, such as a building, wagon, or boat. A beacon can project light in a cone shape up to 240 feet from
its source. The cone is only two feet wide at its source, but broadens into a 90-foot-wide fan at its extreme end. Because of its high output, a beacon burns a pint of oil in 10 turns of operation. A beacon can be tightly shuttered so as not to emit even a trace of light. |

Exploration |
This is a white powder that can be used for a wide variety of purposes, limited only by a player's imagination. A single container holds enough chalk powder to thoroughly cover a 20-foot-square section of floor, or up to eight human-sized characters. If the powder is scattered on the floor, any creatures walking through it leave footprints. When hurled through the air or smashed against a wall, it creates a 10-foot-diameter cloud of dust that settles on all creatures within the area. Thus, invisible creatures can be discovered, and creatures or objects that are too dark to easily distinguish can be made lighter in color. |

This iron tool can slowly bore a hole through wooden or
stone barriers. The hole is about one inch wide, and up to nine
inches deep. A character, by heavily exerting himself, can drill
through one inch of wood in a turn, and one inch of stone in three
turns. When in use, the drill makes a grinding noise that is audible
up to 120 feet away. |
| Lard (pint) |

20 |
Slung |

Exploration |
This common substance is occasionally employed as a lubricant to help large objects, including characters, squeeze through small holes. A character who has been smeared with lard can squeeze through a passageway that is only 80% as wide as the minimum passage needed, as explained under the movement rules (page 21). Lard is also mildly flammable, but unlike oil, it burns too stubbornly to function as a weapon. When smeared with lard, a character who sustains any damage from a fire-based attack suffers 2 hp extra damage per round for 1d6 rounds. Lard can also serve as an insulating coating for swimmers who enter very cold water. See the hypothermia rules (DSG page 42) for exact effects. |
| Oil, Waterproofing |

Slung |

Exploration |
This type of oil is harvested from creatures who have developed very effective insulation systems. Seals and minks are common sources of waterproofing oil. One pint of oil is enough to thoroughly coat two square yards of leather or wool material. Cotton material cannot be effectively waterproofed. When a material has been treated with waterproofing oil, it completely repels water for 1 d6+6 turns if the water is pouring or showering onto the material (as in rain). If the material is immersed in water, it remains completely waterproof for only 1d6 turns. If the material starts to leak in either case, it grows slowly wetter for 1d6 turns, after which time it is completely saturated. |
| Pulley |

Exploration |
This simple machine is typically purchased with a wooden block and a sturdy hook at the top and bottom. In addition to standard pulleys that accept only one loop of rope, there are pulleys that accept two or even three loops of rope. A single pulley allows a character to change the direction of force when lifting or moving something. For example, by pulling down on a rope, you can lift a heavy weight up. Two single-rope pulleys allow the direction of force to be changed, and double the amount of weight that can be lifted. Two double-rope pulleys quadruple the amount a character can lift. Two triple-rope pulleys increase a character's lifting ability by six times. Of course, very solid means of attaching the pulleys must be found before they can be used effectively. |
| Reed, Hollow |

Exploration |
This is a slender straw that, if used carefully, enables a character to breathe while completely submerged under water. The reed is inserted into a character's mouth, and his nose is sealed with wax or by other means. By lying on his back with the straw sticking up like a small periscope, the character can remain underwater and breathe. Because of the character's upside-down position, it is very difficult for him to remain concealed while moving. The maximum a character can move is 1/3 of his normal swimming movement rate. In addition, if a character attempts to move while breathing through a reed, he stands a 10% chance per round of creating a tell-tale ripple on the surface of the water, If the character simply floats with the current, however, no such risks are entailed. |

| Grappling Hook |
7.5 |

Slung |
n |
Gear |
A grappling hook or grapnel is a device that typically has multiple hooks (known as claws or flukes) attached to a rope; it is thrown, dropped, sunk, projected, or fastened directly by hand to where at least one hook may catch and hold onto objects.
**Use of Grappling Hooks:** The other piece of equipment that can be used by any climber (thief or non-thief, mountaineer or non-mountaineer) is a grappling hook — a three- or four-pronged metal hook that is attached to the end of a rope and thrown toward a protrusion, in hopes that the hook will catch and hold so that climbers can pull themselves upward with the help of the anchored rope. Grappling hooks are normally only needed when ascending severe slopes and cliff faces, but they may also come in handy to expedite movement up a moderate slope, especially if it is slippery or slightly slippery. A character can throw a grappling hook (attached to a rope, of course) upward a maximum distance of 1/3 of his strength score (rounded up) times 10 feet; a character with a strength of 8 can throw the hook toward a protrusion as far as 30 feet above his head. If the throw is horizontal (on an incline of 30 degrees or less), the character's maximum throwing distance is the same as for a vertical toss unless he is in a secure position and has a 10ft radius of space around himself to allow for whirling the hook in a circle before letting it go; in that case, he can make a horizontal throw twice as far as his maximum vertical throw. It takes one round to make a throwing attempt with a grappling hook, regardless of the type of throw. If the hook misses, the character must spend the next 1d4 rounds coiling the rope, whether he intends to make another attempt or he plans to stow the equipment until a later time. It can be dangerous to throw a hook toward a target directly above oneself; if the throw misses and the dice roll was 01-05, the thrower is hit by the hook and takes 1d6 points of damage. A climber can climb up a rope anchored by a grappling hook at a 30ft bonus to his normal climbing movement rate if he is lightly encumbered or not encumbered. In other cases, the rope affords no benefit to movement — except, perhaps, to make upward movement possible where it was not possible before. The chance of a suitable protrusion being available within the character's throwing range, and the chance of the hook catching on the intended target, are both dependent on the type of terrain toward which the hook is being thrown. |

A bullseye lantern is generally much more reliable as a light source in the wilderness. The flame is protected, so it will not flicker or be extinguished by the wind, and the radius of illumination generally remains constant. In moonlight or darkness, the beam of light from a bullseye lantern can be seen from 200 yards away if the viewer is looking directly back toward the source of the light, or from 100 yards away if the viewer's gaze is directed across the path of the beam. |

This is a tightly enclosed lantern that produces an amount of light equivalent to a normal lantern. The waterproof lantern contains a flame that is carefully shielded against water dousing and gusts of wind. If a waterproof lantern is taken underwater, the area of illumination is reduced to a 10-foot radius instead of the normal 30 feet. While water does not extinguish the flame, it is soon extinguished because of lack of air when underwater. If a waterproof lantern is submerged, the DM makes a secret d6 roll. The result is the number of rounds the lantern continues to burn. |

This essential ingredient of every miner's kit is required if characters are to excavate at full efficiency (the excavation rate is only 1/2 of maximum without pickaxes). In desperate conditions, a pickaxe can be used as a weapon. In addition to normal nonproficiency penalties, a pickaxe used as a weapon suffers an inherent -2 on all attack rolls because of its unwieldiness. If the blow lands, however, it inflicts a hefty 1d10 points of damage to small or medium creatures and 1d20 points of damage against large creatures. |

(5' radius) A rushlight is a type of candle or miniature torch. The average rushlight gives of light in a 5 foot radius, is 12 inches long and burns for 2 turns (20 minutes). In moonlight or darkness, a lit rushlight can be seen from as far away as 50 yards. It is formed by soaking the dried pith of the rush plant in fat or grease. Mature rush stalks are gathered in summer or autumn. The green epidermis or rind of each stalk is carefully peeled off to reveal the inner pith, but a single lengthwise strip of rind is left in place to provide support for the fragile pith. After drying, the rush is then steeped in any available household fat or grease. Bacon grease was commonly used, but mutton fat was considered best by some, partly because it dried to a harder, less messy texture than other fats. |

Gear |
(Radius 40') The radius of illumination and the burning time of a torch can both be affected by wind velocity. If the wind is blowing at less than 10 mph, the figures given in the Players Handbook apply. If the wind is between 11 and 25 mph, the flame of the torch will struggle and flicker, providing reliable illumination only out to 30 feet instead of 40, and the torch will burn out in 4 turns instead of 6. If the wind is between 26 and 40 mph, radius of illumination is not further reduced but the flame will only last for 2 turns at most, and there is a 25% chance (checked every five rounds) that the torch will be extinguished by the wind and must be reignited. In a wind of more than 40 mph, it is impossible to keep a torch burning for more than 1 round. It takes 1 round to light a torch, plus 1 round for every 10 mph of wind velocity; this time is cut in half for a character with proficiency in fire building. In moonlight or darkness, a lighted torch can be seen from as far away as 200 yards. |
