Money and Equipment
In some cases, as part of an adventure, your characters might need to have money or some particular type of equipment that can be bought in one of Equestria’s stores or market stalls, like a long rope, a cart, some clothing, a potion, etc. This page includes a list of available equipment, their game effects and their typical costs, but keep in mind that this cannot be a complete list, and the gamemaster will have to make up some effects and costs for any other equipment that is not listed here.
This page is part of a modified ruleset; If you need the core rules instead, click here.
Storage Rules
Items take up space. To carry more than one item, you will need somewhere to put them. Item storage here has been simplified to "storage units" to refer to how much space a storage container can hold and for how much space an item takes up. Note that unless otherwise specified, you can assume that most items take up one "storage unit" of space, but sometimes groups of items can be put into the same space — a number of small gems, some books, etc. As a rough approximation, one "storage unit" of space is roughly equivalent to 1ft x 1ft x 6in (30cm x 30cm x 15cm). Clothing, armor, jewelery, and other worn items do not take up storage space while worn.
Starting money and income
In the land of Equestria, coins are called 'bits.' During an adventure you will sometimes find bits, gems, and rare items that can fetch a nice price if you decide to sell them, or you may find some odd jobs you can earn money with.
All starting characters will have:
- 200 bits
- A saddlebag (10 storage)
