Scabbard Wastes Equipment
Expanding Mundane EquipmentThe following equipment specializes in the region's intense heat and can help separate healthy travel from certain death. Cultures and races of the Scabbard Wastes also utilize unique weaponry, which will prove helpful in the wastes and beyond.
As we further explore the many unique Erenel Kingdoms, equipment options, armor, and weapon offerings will grow! The intention is to provide a variety of new and exciting items, not overshadow equipment already in-game. New equipment properties are available with the ultimate goal of adding diversity to your table. As a Dungeon Master, feel free to allow the provided options without unique properties if you wish. However, all item properties are designed to adhere to the design philosophy of 5E and have been playtested.

With the introduction of new weapon properties, a friendly clarification and reminder on specific rules.- Bleed does not take effect if you only damage temporary hit points.
- Shoving a creature is considered a special melee attack.
Special Properties
Bleed
After successfully dealing damage to the hit points of a creature that has blood, apply 1 stack of the bleed condition. For each stack of the bleed condition, the bleeding creature takes 1 damage at the start of their turn. The bleed condition can stack up to a total of (5) stacks. Multiple bleed conditions cannot be placed on the same target, but stack together. All stacks are removed when the bleeding target receives any healing, or after a successful Medicine skill check. Medicine skill check DC = 8 + total bleed stacks.Deadly
When you critically hit by rolling a natural 20 with this weapon, you can treat any 1 rolled on a damage die as a 2. Deadly only applies if the critical hit comes from rolling a natural 20 and does not function with class features or similar effects that broaden critical hit range.Trip
When wielding a weapon with the trip property, you gain a +2 bonus on Strength (Athletics) checks when using the Attack action to shove a creature.Magic Items
Sand Cloud Bomb
Wondrous item, commonA mixture of volatile chemicals that produces a cloud of dense sand on contact with air. As an action, you throw the bomb up to 20 feet, breaking it on impact. A cloud of sand forms in a 10 foot cube at the point of impact, heavily obscuring the area until the sand cloud clears after 1-minute. When a creature enters the sand cloud for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it takes 1d4 bludgeoning damage. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.
Tomb Delver Gloves
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)These gloves provide protection for tomb delvers brave enough to plunder lost pyramids in the Scabbard Wastes. Gain resistance to poison damage. Additionally, whenever you make a Constitution saving throw against an undead creature, you can make the roll at advantage. (Examples: Rotting Fist from a Mummy, Life Drain from a Wraith, Claws from a Ghoul.)
