Weapons and Equipment of the Atruaghin Clans
by HåvardI have been thinking about weapons and equipment. Here are some things that were listed in the gazetteer:
WEAPONS
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
| Eagle Lance | As spear. Used by Horse Clan |
| Club | as normal club. Used by Bear Clan |
| Turtle Clan Harpoon | 1d6 dmg. May be thrown 20/40/60 |
| Whale Tooth Knife | As dagger. Used by Turtle Clan |
| Shark Tooth Arrows | As Arrow. Used by Turtle Clan |
| Spear Thrower / azraxxi | +25% range & +2 damage for javelins. Used by Tiger Clan |
| Scallop-bladed Short Sword | 1d6+1 dmg. Used by Tiger Clan |
| Tiger Javelin | +1 to damage |

ARMOR AND ATTIRE
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
| Horse Clan Leather | AC8 |
| Snake-Leather Jerkin | AC7. Used by Bear Clan |
| Buffalo Hide Shield | As normal shield |
| War Bonnet | No Game mechanical effects. Used by Horse Clan |
| Medicine Bundles / Makaki | +1 to Save, or Special. Used by Horse Clan |
| Turtle Clan West | AC7 |
| Turtle Clan Wooden Helmet | +2 to morale |
| Tiger Clan Shield /daxan | As normal shield in melee, but can be used for additional attack. See special rules. No AC bonus against Missile attacks |
| Tiger Clan Breast Plate | AC7 |
| War Paint | 2nd Level Shamani Spell |
Initial thoughts: First of all, having these items organized in a table like this would have been extremely useful. Secondly, every clan's weapons are uninteresting or nerfed except the Tiger Clan which is possibly even overpowered? I have no idea why the Horse Clan cannot get AC7 for their leather clothes except for realism? I think the Atruaghin folk are nerfed enough already so I see no reason not to give them that. Personally I am inclined to rule that the Atruaghin Clans characters gain a +1 to attack with all weapons associated with their culture.
NEW EQUIPMENT
(Created by me)
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
| Bone Armor | AC7 |
NEW MAGICAL ITEMS
All of the items above should be available as magical weapons. When adventuring in the Atruaghin Clans, the DM should select local cultural weapons instead of the standard lists.
Magical War Bonnet:
(Miscellaneous Magical Item) War Bonnets have no special effect, but they can be enchanted. Roll for effect:

Magical Arm Bands
Rings are not as popular among the Children of Atruaghin as in the rest of the Known World, but arm bands are common ornaments. Magical arm bands may also be found among the clans. For effects, consult the table for Magic Rings in the RC. As usual, a character is limited to one arm band on each arm and any rings worn on a finger of the same arm has no effect.
