TFT House Rules: Equipment

Weapons

Great Bow

A ST 14 bow that does 2d damage. It fires every turn or twice a turn if the archer has 18+ adjDX and ST 16. It weighs 2.5 kg. and costs $55.

Fine Weapons

Fine weapons cost 10x their base price for +1 DX or +1 damage, 20x for +1 DX and +1 damage or +2 damage and 40x for +1 DX and +2 damage.

Only axes, maces, hammers, swords and pole weapons may be made finely. Only bladed weapons may be made to do extra damage, except daggers which can only be given the +1 DX.

When a normal weapon would break, roll an extra die for a fine weapon. One that does +1 damage will break if a 5 or 6 is rolled and one that does +2 damage will break only on a 6. The Break Weapon spell has normal effect on fine weapons.

Silver fine weapons cost double their normal fine price.

Good Weapons

Better than average quality wepaons cost 2x their base price. When a normal weapon would break in combat, roll an extra die. On a roll of 4, 5 or 6, a good weapon will break.

Armor

Fine Armor

Repairing Armor

When armor has taken (20 + 10x hits stopped) hits, it will begin to fall apart. It will stop 1 fewer hits at this point. When it has taken (20 + 20x hits stopped) hits, it is in very bad shape and will stop 2 fewer hits. Extremely powerful or otherwise special blows may count as multiple hits. Cloth and leather armor are not repairable, but metal armor may be repaired for 20% of its new price (10% for fine armor). The Repair spell does not help in fixing armor (nor shields).

Shields

When shields have taken (15x hits stopped) hits, they are split asunder and useless. Small shields may be made of metal and will then take (20x hits stopped) before they split. Such a metal shield would cost $45 and weigh 7 kg. Metal shields may be repaired as for armor, but normal shields may not.
