  • Clothes are costly. Fine clothes grant a Splendour of 1, splendid ones grant 2, and those fashioned of the marvelous silk of Tang grant 4 Splendour. A hero felled in battle will spoil his clothes and need them mended.
  • Common artisan’s tools are hammers, saws, tongs, vats or other such things sufficient to carry out the ordinary work of a smith, or leatherworker, or other who has a task more complex than simple weaving or hewing.
