How about corpse-handling gloves?
I think your price is too high for an ink pen -- they're made out of goose quills. The entire goose might cost 5 gp, but I don't think one quill would. Unless you're talking about a steel nib...
Now, a pen knife...that'd be worth a bit.

coffee, you must now give us a price for corpse-handling gloves, AND justify it. SOAP?!? What kind of Adventurer uses SOAP?  |

You could also soap your whole body in order to be harder to grapple.

coffee, you must now give us a price for corpse-handling gloves, AND justify it. Gloves, cloth . . . . . . . 5 sp. Gloves, leather . . . . . 1 gp - 5 gp Gloves, leather * . . . . 10 gp * Reinforced & stain resistant. Suitable for handling corpses. - - - - - - - I had a fellow player (and later DM) who was leery of touching corpses with his bare hands; he was afraid the DM would inflict some horrible disease on him. So he priced and bought corpse-handling gloves specifically, and used them frequently. |

You could also soap your whole body in order to be harder to grapple. Only if you are planning on wrestling orcs naked..  Oil would accomplish both tasks, plus you can burn it. And, if it is vegetable or animal-based, you can eat it or cook with it. (Tallow candles, too - it was a hard winter, indeed when you had to eat your candles.) Oil was used by the Romans in place of soap - they rubbed it on the skin and then scraped off the oil and dirt with a long, metal implement. (I read a reference somewhere that the Celts HAD soap, and made use of it - and thought that the invading Romans were the dirty, unwashed barbarians.) ;D |

Yes, but is that a good thing? I mean do you really want your character to combustible while he's walking around with a bunch of guys with torches?

Actually, that happened to the guy I mentioned above (the 'corpse-handling gloves' guy). That DM slapped him around like a red-headed stepchild. ;D |

Well, yes...I wouldn't recommend that stunt with anything more flammable than olive oil. (Besides, if you wandered around a dungeon soaked in naptha or turpentine, the monsters would smell you coming a mile off... but then think of all those extra rolls on the Wandering Damage chart the DM would get to make. A busy DM is a happy DM... ;D) |

You forgot:
paint, can of - 3 g.p.
You use it for marking where you've been, or throwing in the air in the direction of invisible monsters to coat them and reveal them (or for creating illusory pits) or ...

You could also soap your whole body in order to be harder to grapple. mix it with water to become a lubricant to ease picking locks and keeping door hinges from squeaking as much. Blow bubbles to try to detect air currents or areas of higher air pressure thru crakcs in doors and pipes. Make impressions of keys in bars of soap. Use it like chalk to mark your way. Hide a coin or a gem in a bar os soap, what orc is ever going to find that? |

ADVENTURING GEARBackpack 2 g.p. It might be worth noting (or perhaps not - I'm a bit of a history nut) that what we think of as a 'backpack' was practically unknown in the Medieval period. What was far more common (aside from a large sack, bound up with ropes, slung over or perched on the shoulder) was a large basket with shoulderstraps. Even more common was a large purse-like pouch with a shoulderstrap known as a 'Pilgrim's bag' or 'Scrip.' They were used right up through the American Civil War (and even today, if you count some women's oversize handbags.) The Dragon (the newsletter for a Swiss re-enactment group, not the TSR magazine) has some useful images in issue 11: www.companie-of-st-george.ch/new/drupal/sitefiles/dragon-11.pdfHere's the rest of the issues - very interesting reading: www.companie-of-st-george.ch/cms/?q=en/Dragons |
