A finely balanced shortbow with the Armoria guild's stylized crest burned into the riser and inlaid with steel filigree. Crafted for accuracy and rapid follow-through.

Atk +1 to attack and damage (magical), +5 ft to effective range for first attack in a turn; finely balanced so that failure chance from long-range penalties is reduced by one step (DM adjudicates).

A heavy crossbow with reinforced limbs and a machined windlass groove. Engineered for siege marksmen who want repeatable accuracy.

Slightly faster reload when wielded by someone proficient with heavy crossbows (DM may allow a Dexterity check to reduce reload time during an action economy squeeze).

A 3-pronged throwing trident milled to perfect balance. Usable as a melee spear or thrown weapon.

If thrown and caught (with a successful Dexterity check), it returns to the wielder's hand 1 minute later.

Five razor-tempered throwing daggers, each stamped with a tiny crest. Balanced for rotation and accuracy.

On a successful attack, a dagger can be recovered with a Sleight of Hand or kicked back using the Retrieving Knot (simple tool) as an action.

A supple whip, hand-braided from treated leathers and reinforced with braided steel wire along the spine. The handle bears the Armoria crest in silver.

Treats as finesse; when used to attempt to disarm or trip, grants +2 on the attempt.

A compact repeating crossbow with a built-in magazine and an Armoria enamel crest. Fast and reliable, intended for scouts and skirmishers.

Atk Magical +1 weapon. Holds 5 bolts in its magazine; reloading the magazine is an action. Firing from the magazine does not require an attack to use an Action to reload between shots.

A spear-shaped javelin with rune-etched bands. When thrown, it returns to the thrower's hand after being summoned as a bonus action.

Atk Magical +1 to attack and damage. Once per short rest, as a bonus action, the thrower can cause it to 'return' to their hand.

A hollow staff with an integrated sling pouch at one end. Can be used as a club or to fling lead stones farther and truer than a normal sling.

When used to sling a special Armoria shot (sold separately), range is increased by 15 ft.
Miscellaneous4

A leather-bound quiver containing twenty well-made arrows, fletched for straight flight and stamped with the guild's mark.

Twelve steel-headed bolts, balanced and hardened to withstand repeated firing from powerful crossbows.

A set of five alchemical arrowheads that, on a hit, produce a flash of corrosive vapor. Designed for use against lightly armored foes and constructs.

On hit the target takes an additional acid damage once (no save). These arrows are fragile and cannot be recovered after use.

Ten polished stones cut to exact weight and shape; rarely shatter and fly with uncanny consistency.

Slightly denser than ordinary stones; treat as +0. Small chance (DM discretion) to bypass brittle materials.
Miscellaneous3

A 25-ft leather cord braided to be used as a makeshift throwing line, lasso, or to secure gear. Lightweight and flexible.

When used as a lasso, grants advantage on checks to ensnare small or medium creatures (DM discretion).

A formal commission contract and deposit entry allowing the buyer to request a bespoke ranged or throwing weapon. The deposit is applied to final price.

Commission work can include inlaid crest, choice of materials, and minor enchantment slots (enchanting arranged separately). Typical turnaround 2–6 weeks depending on complexity.

A small metal pin bearing the Armoria crest; merchants accept this as a token that identifies Armoria craftsmanship.

Wearing this pin in trade halls grants the wearer a minor reputational edge: small discounts or trust in cities where Armoria is respected (roleplay/DM discretion).

Shop Atmosphere

“Maereth whistles a different guild hymn depending on what the customer asks for; if she hums the 'Crossbow Chant' she’s in a good mood and may offer a free minor modification. All items bear a faint, burnished Armoria crest — customers who rub the crest know exactly which craftsman worked on the piece. Maereth insists on measuring a customer's throwing arm and hand span before selling throwing weapons; she believes every missile weapon must 'fit the spirit.'”
