This selection of equipment lists collections of tools assembled for specific uses. Some, such as Climbing Kits, Fishing Tackle, and Repair Kits, are just tools that rarely, if ever, need to be replaced. Other kits include consumable parts, such as Disguise Kits, Healer’s Kits, and Writing Kits. These consumables can be replaced with extra supplies worth less than the original, full kit.
Price is the amount, in silver pieces, that the item is worth.
Bulk is the weight of the tool or kit. If there is a ‘-‘ in the entry, the item’s weight is so light as to not be necessary to track. If there is an ‘L,’ the item in question is considered of ‘Light’ weight, where ten light weight objects add up to 1 Bulk.
Wielding indicates the number of hands you need available to use the tool or kit. This means if you are using an item with 1 in this entry, you must have one hand holding the item and are therefore not able to use it for other actions. If the item has a 2 for the wielding entry it means you are using both your hands to use the item and you do not have a free hand for other actions. Tools or kits that require no hands are limited to replacement sets or supplies and use the original kits entry.
