okay there's too much equipment overhaul from the 2024 PHB to go over it all but here are my highlights
they specify that bullets are expensive and destroyed upon use
there's no "move slowly to avoid" for ball bearings or caltrops
"can I collect my ball bearings?" yes, if you take 10 full minutes
bedrolls and blankets now mechanically keep you warm!
if you stop to consult a relevant book you get +5 to your Int check
the kits have less confusing random bullshit in them
the kits have more shit the profession would actually need
caltrop rules are less crazy to try and keep track of
THEY EXPLAIN HOW TYING SOMEONE UP WORKS, you have no idea how many times my players have tried to restrain someone mid-combat and I just had to make up some shit about two successful Grapples turning into the Restrained condition or something, god
clothes have no mechanical benefit, but they do explain why you would ever need to go out and get yourself a nice outfit or robe
CALTROPS IN THE DUNGEONEER PACK, GOOD
MIRROR IN THE ENTERTAINERS PACK, EXCELLENT
THEY EXPLAINED HOW GRAPPLING HOOKS WORK
damage of holy water went up a little bit c:
they also have mechanics and DCs for manacles now
if you stop to consult a relevant map you get +5 to Survival checks
ah, the net. my love. finally in equipment where you belong.
you can mechanically use the pole to help you polevault!
HEALING POTIONS. CAN BE USED. ON BONUS ACTIONS.
RIP to soap, merchant's scale, and little bag of sand.
signal whistle can be heard for 600ft, nice
you can tinderbox on a bonus action, very nice
I still have some questions about spell scrolls but they are generally the same, which is fine
