Tool Trunk Thursday: Star Flower

Welcome Dog Brothers and Sword Sisters to the next installment of Tool Trunk Thursday! The feature where I present a piece of equipment for Conan 2d20 and its effects in a friendly card-shaped format. You can find other pieces of equipment in the Blog's Equipment Chest!

Star Flower

These bright orange to red flowers grow most commonly in the darkest parts of the forest between Argos and Zingara. Even within this forest they are rare. It is possible similar flowers may grow in other places in the world, but no matter where they are found they will favor dark old growth forests.

The compounds in these flowers are extremely combustible, and so they are highly prized by the alchemists of the age to create spectacular effects both visually and deadly.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Iron Cauldron

Iron Cauldron

Cauldrons made from iron are used by many different people for many different things. Anyone who needs to heat liquid over a fire in the Hyborian age is sure to have used a similar device. No matter the size, these pots are generally made from thick iron, making them heavy.

They are used widely by alchemists to more evenly distribute heat into their delicate solutions. This allows them to more efficiently use ingredients to create their enchantments.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Barbaric Necklace

Barbaric Necklace

In the more barbaric corner of the world, the hills of Cimmeria, the dark forests of Pictland, the jungles of the Black Kingdoms or even the wastes of Hyperborea, tribes of humanity scratch out an existence. Warriors are a primary part of their culture, one that keeps them alive, and the horrors of the world at bay. When children who would be warriors come of age it is not uncommon that they must prove themselves in combat against the beasts of the world. These necklaces, as varied as the people who make them, are the result. Trophies of adulthood, talismans to hold back the darkness.

As you can imagine these are among the most prized possessions of those who carry them. Receiving one as a gift is an, almost unheard-of honor. Perhaps even more rare is finding one in a market of curiosity in one of the more civilized lands. Still, they fall into the hands of those who did not earn them, but despite this, they still carry respect in the more barbaric cultures who recognize them as more than just trinkets.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Fine Scales

Fine Scales

Mixing unstable reagants together is a delicate and precise science. Get the ratios wrong and your carefully crafted explosive or blinding powder doesn't work. Alchemists are experts at this, but even the greatest of them can use some help. This beautifuly balanced set of scales from the trade masters of Zingara are sure to help any alchemist get those proportions correct to allow their pyrotechnic wizardy to entertain or.............

Tool Trunk Thursday: Black Arrows

Black Arrows

Occasionally stars fall from the heavens, and while most are undiscovered a few are found and the materials used by expert blacksmiths. This is one such case. Arrows forged from some material that fell from the heavens, perhaps from the outer dark itself. Whatever its origins the load of arrows it has created is sure to grant an edge in battle to the warrior using them.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Oil Flasks

Oil Flasks

Flasks of oil come in many forms from skins of leather to vials of glass. It's uses can not be understated to the keen adventurer. It can be used to slow an enemy, by making the floors slippery or perhaps it's ability to burn is more up your alley? Either way I am sure these flasks will come in handy to those wise enough to carry them.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Torches

Torches

Torches are as common to an adventurer as food and water. A length of wood wrapped in oil-soaked rags ignited to keep the darkness at bay. Although these are not the most reliable ways to illuminate the darkness or the most portable, they make up for it in cost.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Spy Glass

The Spyglass

The spyglass is a rare, and expensive, piece of equipment most commonly found onboard ships. These finely crafted objects are most commonly made from a telescoping metal tube terminated by two glass lenses created by the most skilled artisans. These components work together to bring objects at a distance into view.

Tool Trunk Thursday: Lodestone

Welcome Dog Brothers and Sword Sisters to a new feature on the blog! Each Thursday I am going to present a piece of equipment for your 2d20 game! To start we will be focusing on Conan 2d20, but down the road, I am sure we'll see some items from the dying world of Barsoom as well! In general, the aim is to include items that aren't found in the core book or the expansions but to also give a direct use for each of the items as well.

It should be no secret by now that I like cards and find them useful at the table, and so it should be no surprise that these pieces of equipment are formatted for use as cards. The images should all be the correct aspect ratios for creating poker sized cards for each of these items.

As this is the first post I will start with the card with a legend on it. Each of the icons should be fairly self-explanatory, but just-in-case they are not I thought it would be a useful image to include with the post.

Without further pre-amble I give you the first item for Tool Trunk Thursday!

The Lodestone

These naturally magnetic rocks can be used for navigation much like the legendary Sun Stone from the Nordheimer lands, although it has the advantage of not needing to be outdoors and in view of the sun to do it. It has the disadvantage of being thrown off its bearing when close to other sources of magnetism as one might find in an alchmeical lab.
