Weapons2

A curved bronze-and-steel khopesh with a gilded sun motif on the spine. Balanced for sweeping cuts and used by temple guards.

Atk Once per long rest, on a hit the wielder can shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and deal an extra radiant damage as the blade flares.

A longbow inlaid with ivory ankhs and river reeds varnished into the limbs. Emits a faint hum when nocked.

Atk Arrows fired from this bow gain +1 to attack and once per short rest the archer can take a bonus action to make the arrow seek a target (advantage on the attack roll against flanked or surprised targets).
Armor4

A scale cuirass resembling the overlapping plates of a gigantic river serpent; scales are hammered from dark bronze and etched with protective glyphs.

AC +18Grants +1 to AC beyond base armor. Once per long rest, wearer can activate the serpent's ward to grant resistance to poison for 1 hour and advantage on saves vs. disease.

Light steel greaves shaped into sandal straps and footplates, inlaid with sand-colored leather for comfort.

AC +14Grants advantage on saves against exhaustion from heat and travel on sand; wearer gains +10 ft walking speed on sandy or desert terrain. Once per day can cast Pass Without Trace (self only).

A large round shield painted with sun-and-cobra iconography; bronze rim and a reinforced boss.

AC +2Functions as a +1 shield (i.e., grants +1 to AC in addition to shield bonus). Once per long rest the wielder can use a reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack that hits an ally within 5 feet (the wielder takes the attack instead).

A sculpted helm made from layered, hardened linen and bronze for the brow, patterned like a nemes headdress.

AC +12Grants +1 to Charisma (Performance) when worn in court or ritual settings and advantage on Intimidation checks against commoners who respect temple authority.
Miscellaneous11

A pair of wide golden wrist-guards hammered with hieratic sigils; they lock with a tiny tumbler that requires a key or arcane command.

AC +12When donned and attuned (requires 1 hour), the bracelets grant +1 to AC and once per long rest can cast Hold Person (save ) as a reaction against a creature that attempts to grapple or incapacitate the wearer.

A small bronze amulet engraved with an eye motif. Common among caravan masters.

Grants +2 to Perception checks (passive included) while worn. Once per long rest can cast Detect Magic for up to 10 minutes.

A small set of bronze locks and hasps stamped with scarab motifs—durable and simple to pick-resistant.

Provides a bonus to DC for breaking or picking the lock compared to a common lock. Robust against sand and rust.

Rounded stones from riverbeds, polished and heat-treated; they glow faintly at dawn.

On a critical hit, the target must succeed on a Con save or be blinded until the end of its next turn (glare of sunstone).

A palm-sized brazier on a handle used by smiths to produce a controlled holy flame for tempering sacred metal.

Functions as a smith's fire source: once per day can produce a 5-foot-radius, non-magical flame that sheds bright light and counts as a source for magical item forging (for rituals requiring fire). As a minor offensive use, it can cast Produce Flame (no attack bonus) once per long rest.

A small brass censer that emits incense smoke that refreshes metal and spirit.

When burning blessed incense (sold for 2 gp a bundle), the censer grants a bonus on the next crafting check made within 1 hour to create or repair a non-magical item. Once per long rest can be used to grant a single creature a bonus on a saving throw.

A portable set of smithing tools: hammer, tongs, files, small anvil and crude forge bellows suitable for field repairs.

Provides advantage on checks to make minor repairs in the field and a bonus to DC for craft-related checks if used properly.

Hand-forged arrowheads, simple split-socket style, good for regular hunting and warfare.

Standard ammunition; robust in dunes and humid river valleys.

A lightweight folding fan edged with thin bronze blades—used to direct troops and for ritualistic displays.

When used in a short Performance, grants allies within 10 feet a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls for one round (usable once per short rest).

A small iron key shaped like an ankh that fits many of the shop's locks and some common temple chests.

Functions as a master key for the shop's Scarab-Forged Lockset and some temple designs (GM discretion).

A vial of quick-setting alchemical oil that eases minor repairs for weapons and armor.

When used during a short rest, restores HP to a piece of non-magical equipment (replaces lost functionality temporarily).
Potions1

A viscous amber potion that repairs metal and leather as if touched by a craftsman.

When applied to an item, restores hit points to damaged non-magical armor, shield or weapon (repairs dents, hems, straps). If used on a creature, heals HP (mostly restorative for minor cuts).
