Such a nerd.
It is about time I dedicate a post to my absolute geekness. So, here is a D&D-related article I just wrote.
Poorly equipped.
So, you have no money to arm your Lv. 1 fighter before you go bounty hunting? Don’t worry! There is plenty of equipment you can afford with that one copper piece!
The seed sack.
As the cleaver name implies, you can make a small (if effective and easy to conceal) bludgeoning weapon dealing 1d2+Str Mod with a handful of beans or small rocks and a small pouch. Tie it at the end of a feet of rope and you have a half-assed sort-of-flail. Now go smack the crap out of those orcs!
The nail puncher.
You need a small piece of wood and three nails. The piece if wood should be about two inches long and round or squareish in shape, so you can hold it comfortably in your fist and throw a punch. Once you have your piece off wood, nail three nails on it, in such a way that you can hold it and the nails come out between your fingers. Not so impressive at 1d3+Str Mod, the nail puncher is easy to make, use and replace.
The rock bolas.
Find two decently round river stones. They should be the same size and weight, so don’t be afraid to take twenty on your craft checks to make them so. Once you have them, tie them together some two feet apart. Holding the middle of the rope, swing it and throw it to entangle enemies within twenty feet away! Or, deal 1d3+Str Mod hitting commoners with it.
The longfork.
This weapon is more annoying than deadly. Steal a metal fork from the local tavern. Attach it in the end of a short pole. Now you can poke people from a couple of feet. 1d1 is no big deal.
The club
Any roughly clublike piece of wood will do. Or, go to a carpenter and ask him if he has any scrap for your warmonger purposes. Nails will add some elegance to it.
Bamboo and bottle.
If your adventure takes place in a place where bamboo grows and people drinks, you can do this. Buy a bottle. Now, look for a bamboo the same thickness of the neck your bottle. Once you find it, cut it (or break it, since you probably lack a knife; given that you are desperate enough to make this weapon) and plug the bottle in it. Wield it against foes! If you are lucky, only the bottom of the bottle will break after the first hit, and you will have a spear of sorts. It won’t last too long, though.
Also, there are forms of attack your non-casting, low-level character can use while deprived from cash! This include:
-Throwing rocks.
-Spitting.
-Foul language/gestures.
-Realise you are unarmed and run like a girl.
