Item Quality

Equipment in Hârn comes in a wide range of quality. Most items are considered standard by default.

Bonuses and penalties are guidelines only.

The higher quality of the item, the higher the price. The guidelines are.

• Superior items are 5 x standard price.
• Masterwork items are 15 x standard price.
• Legendary items are 50 x standard price.

In combat, a critical fumble roll may result in breakage, usually of the poorer quality item.

Missile weapons require ammunition of the same category to gain full bonuses.

Special materials and techniques will modify these values.

Weapons and armor can only be enchanted to a bonus equal to the quality of the item.

Example Items

The Elven Heartbows are Legendary quality (although many have enchantments).

The famous Mamakan Blades wielded by the Agrikian Fighting Order of the Warriors of Mameka are Masterwork or Legendary quality, but all have special magical properties usable only in the hands of Warrior who bonds with it. The order does sell lesser quality Superior weapons.

The Dwarves are generally are equipped with a minimum of Masterwork weapons and Armor. There is a lucrative market in Dwarven made equipment.
