Top 10 D&D 5e Mundane Items | Nerd Immersion

Ойындар

We've done a ton of magic item lists recently, so I thought it would be fun to focus on some important and useful non-magic items. All the items on this list are things that can be found and purchased regularly but also several creative uses beyond what their normal functions are. What did I miss? What other normal adventuring/nonmagic items are must haves for your D&D character?

    Simple “unbreakable” manacles... Find a blacksmith, have them make you a set of manacles but without a lock. Once done ask him to break the each of the rings right down the middle so now you have 2 metal C’s with chain connecting them and 2 C’s unattached. Once you want to use them place the pieces together around the targets wrists and cast mending to fix the broken manacles. No lock for a rouge to pick ;)

I drove my dm crazy for a bit there when they figured me out. One time I had my tabaxi climb to the ceiling and empty the entirety of their bag of holding onto a batch of arguing brawling giffs to make them knock it off long enough to be talked down. While it took a while to gather everything thing up again, it did work. Was pretty hilarious and my dm just shakes his head at this point. Least he is amused.

    My favorite Mundane item is a simple frame with a mid sized flattened chest flush mounted in its center, with wheels to either side and 2 handling poles. I also attach a large Pavise sgield to the front that swivels from laying flat over the level of the frame upward horizontally to an 90 degree angle, and forward as well. Being attached to the frame (not the rigging poles to either side) allows the poles to be lashed to or removed from the frame as necessary. And simply lashing the front ends of the poles to either side of a mount or animal such as a goat or whatnot (or using them like a hand cart) which enables easy travel with a good load of gear strapped to the frame as well as hidden withing the chest. The Pavise is righted and secured by line (through holes pierced in the outer lower edges) as well as the lower (sharp and spike-pointed edge being rammed into the dirt. The Pavise shield can also be caried normally OR easily removed and set in the groud to act as a set barrier/cover. The Pavise also has 2 flat quiver mounts (20 arrows each) and a pack for slingstones that attach to its inner face that allow for more prolonged ranged encounters. Extra gear is simply packed over the top of the frame's surface, and a rearward sitting board swivels up to lock over the center... to enable one large or two human sized riders as if it were a riding pullcart designed mostly for moderate to brisk speeds (thus keeping the weight lower, as its built more for sturdiness and reliability. This Pavise Cart is thin enough to pull into most dungeons and through most forests (any space wide enough to fit a large humanoid) and height wise seldom averages more than half a regular person. Weight is easily packed in a manner that distributes the weight center directly over its axle... and may be used to carry treasure, gear, bodies, prisoners, firewood, building materials, etc. in/to or away from one's places of adventure rather easily (DM determine's its bearing weight & speed, as smaller or larger versions are easy to contract for make and/or purchase. And they can be trailed behind regular wagons or carts as well. With a bit of ingenuity and a few extra bits of lumber or wood it will also float rather well... on its own or pulled behind a canoe (or other aquatic vehicles). The cart usually has an overtarp that can easily be rigged as an overshade with a few thin-cut saplings or a couple of more flexible & finished rods (think modern tent frame pieces). It also has some built-in shock absorbtion thanks to the leafed-springsteel and wrappings between the uppper fram & its axle mounts. The wrappings are for noise reduction. And the frame's clearance height can also be adjusted a bit (with some minor effort). The wheels aren't wagon size and reamin somewhat thinner, built for again, relaibility and weight reduction... with some pre-laced leatherlike material carried along each side, which easily wraps over their circumference of each wheel as needed and can take addditional padding (to mask its sound over various surfaces). And in frosty areas/weather one simply makes or purchases some wicker pieces that act like snowshoes once properlt lashed in place. Weapon wise I always carry one AdzeHawk (adze on one side of the head, with a hatchet/hawk blade on the other) for woodworking as well as combat. And I pair that with a PickHammer of equal heft and balance. Both of which are capable of being extended in to longer versions thanks to a release pin in the base of each handle, so extension rods/grips can be added. thus turning them into hand-and-a-half, two-handed OR full length polearms as needed (based on rod length). The removable base of the AdzeHawk is usually a chisel point, whereas the Pickhammer's removable base is fashioned as an angled nail-puller/pry. These weapons are also extremely useful as they can be use to inflict every weapon damage type, and the adze/pick edges are great for hooking arms or body parts (and stripping away shields). And they make great climbing tools as well... especially against ice, wood, and softer stone (or mortared) surfaces. For short to mid range I carry at least 3 throwing spikes or daggers strapped to each outer thigh or waist. And a pair of matched longer daggers (one piercing stiletto, the other bladed for combat as well as utility) which are strapped horizontally across opposing sides of my lower back (for ease of use).Tough I often wear shin guards with a pair of equivalent boot-knives/daggers as well (slightly shorter, with thinner handles and crossguards) more for utility... but either can be thrown or used in melee. I also cary one sling wrapped over each upper arm (one regular, the other with a wider pocket so it can be mounted to a pole...to create a staff sling), a collapsible shortbow, and sometimes a longbow or crossbow. Of course this is all my PREFERRED stuff... depending on character ability. Mundane Items I cary are a box of twisted nails (they hold separate pieces better, even through swelling and contraction, and are generally harder to pry out). And they're easily used to form makeshift caltrops or foot-traps (and the like) as well. Rope, twine and other cordage including a base-colored grey/brown sturdy thread (doubles as fishing line, with aded pouch of hooks & for makeshift repairs). Block and Tackle are carried on the Pavise Cart (3 pair minimum) as well as 3 snatchblocks, a few shackles (again, 3 pair minimum) and a grappling hook with climbing pitons (12 minimum). The lighter and more easily packed (or expensive) things go in the Pavise Cart's chest, whereas the frame usually has an extra backpack, some large and small sacks, a few wine/water skins along with some rations, a one gallon water barrel (also mounted flat to the frame) with a topcap for refilling & an underside tap, and three extra healers kits. It usually has 2 bandoliers as well as a number of pouches for them, extra clothing as needed, one extra light armor &/or medium armor set, an extra set of forarn and shin guards, footwear (as needed/desired), one buckler, a regular shield (both with their attachable spikes), and an extra larger (also waterproof) tarp... for making tents and the like (or ground covering for a restful picnic). Thin but lasting torches (6), and an assortment of candles (12) as well as 3 long burning larger/wider ones, and at least one hooded lantern. Personally carried mundane items usually include a steel mirror, some irritant (or flash) powder balls or tubes (usually laced, the balls work well with the sling, the tubes are good for up close), thieves tools (as spares for other characters if nothing else), dice, a coinpurse or belt, and empty all-weather stiff-length but flexible leather scroll tube or two (double as quivers, though also good for lots of other stuff), chalk, a thin torch (as necessary), a pouch of ball bearings (double as sling bullets, 30 or so), some writing/chalking paper (for notes/etching) usually lining the inside of the scroll tubes, whistles (usually 3) that can easily attach to arrows (as well as 3 whistling sling bullets), 6 oil chalks (white, yellow, green blue, red, black) for make-up and staining clothing/armor... usually/mostly, and a coil of thin but sturdy silk rope (30 feet or so). Most of which is carried in a sectioned (smaller) all-weather backpack that has placemtnes for hooking or strapping a shield or buckler (so it covers/protects the backpack). And most of my characters are clerics, so holy symbols are usually engraved or etched into/onto various gear/weapons... though one will part of a torc or necklace and two will be on thin bracelets. The rewst I just add or remove as necessary. Though I also like carying a few musical instruments more openly within the Pavise Cart (halfling bagpipes, a lyre, hand drums, etc.). So people usually think I'm a poor wandering bard or entertainer as I travel. An effect that's easy to manage by simply picking up a worn full-body hooded robe (I usually add retracting facenetting that folds into the hood's inner surface or seam) which you can purchase just about anywhere... just add a few tatters/patches and stain it up a bit. A few players (each with their own Pavise Carts) can do and carry a LOT of stuff... while also circling or forming them into various tactical position. And they're easily AFFORDABLE. Bit the best thing about them is their overall utility... and lashing a few together makes hauling larger items or bodies a relative snap. Tactical Defense, Load Bearing, & Utilitarian all on a low budget... allowing players to use them as efficiently decent mobile/temporary bases as well (even along street alleys & dungeons). Just buy a beast suitable to the terrain/weather and you can ride them as well. HuGGz

    Pitons would be a great improvised weapon for digging into enemies, and manoeuvring them around, if you have a few homebrewed additional weapon abilities at hand to allow for it. I really think there are an awful lot of mundane items that could easily have their own interesting weapon stats beyond just generic "improvised weapon". A ladder could pull someone about too, if you hook them with it. A bottle would do slashing or piercing damage after you break it, bludgeoning damage before. A rope could be fashioned into a lassoo, that could then pull someone about or even grapple them from afar. A smithing hammer could ignore armor when attacking metal, and a woodworker's mallet could do the same against wood (maybe a heavily armored group of druids or something). A crowbar could painfully remove the scales and natural armor ability of someone with scale based natural armor. Owch. A long bamboo shoot could be used to pour poison on someone's head silently, from a distance and above. A pair of puff gloves (boxing gloves) could have the ability to quell the normal invokation of rage from an enemy's friends - honor fighting and all that. As well as have a rather massive critical hit bonus based on your dexterity (as in, footwork / aiming) that cannot do lethal damage. I think the source books need more of these kinds of things put in as optional mechanics. As well as just a hell of a lot more armor and weapon options in general. Wouldn't mind a total revamp of those lists, to be honest. They're very sparse and basic. Exotic weapons back too, please. You could plonk in some feats that upped your generalistic weapon proficiency by one (similar to the ones that exist for armor proficiency) so you wouldn't have to redo any of the classes in order to grant it.

    You mentioned using a mirror to signal characters during the day, which is an excellent use for a mirror. But, weather permitting, you can sometimes even use it for that purpose at night. If you've got a clear sky and enough of a moon, you can absolutely send a light signal at night.

    Lol my dm one time gave us a rock and we basically could do nothing with it…until I reminded the dm that I had a pick. We got it open and got some amazing gems out of it. We were playtesting a dungeon for that dm and their regular group who the dungeon was designed for would actually have a player with enough strength to break it. We didn’t make one though. So the mining pick was hilarious. Dm has learned to not give the no magic rogue (me) too much funds. I bought all the mundane crap I could think of use and stuffed it into the bag of holding. I even used the bar of soap recently (think banana peel trick). It’s fun.

    Yeah I think I’ll add chalk soon. I keep the vast majority of these things on me, especially since I have a scout rogue with a bag of holding who I challenged myself with to utilize mundane items with to get me through a dungeon crawl. It still serves that purpose and is a running joke when he utilizes his “Mary poppins” bag with the other players. We recently had to use the extra clothes in there to dress the cleric when some stray wild magic made his disappear (just his, it was hilarious because it was a table with 100,000 results, and that’s what he got). By the way, yes the rogue does have some magic items. These are some unbreakable arrows, a +1 long bow, the bracers of archery, a barrier tattoo, that orb of direction, and the bag of holding. So nothing wild. They make healing potions though which is the only other magic item.
