This lab is used for making alchemical items, and provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Craft (alchemy) checks. It has no bearing on the costs related to the Craft (alchemy) skill. Without this lab, a character with the Craft (alchemy) skill is assumed to have enough tools to use the skill but not enough to get the +2 bonus that the lab provides.

Artisan's Tools

These special tools include the items needed to pursue any craft. Without them, you have to use improvised tools (–2 penalty on Craft checks), if you can do the job at all.

Artisan's Tools, Masterwork

These tools serve the same purpose as artisan's tools, but masterwork artisan's tools are the perfect tools for the job, so you get a +2 circumstance bonus on Craft checks made with them.

Climber's Kit

These crampons, pitons, ropes, and tools give you a +2 circumstance bonus on Climb checks.

Disguise Kit

The kit is the perfect tool for disguise and provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks. A disguise kit is exhausted after 10 uses.

Healer's Kit

This collection of bandages and herbs provides a +2 circumstance bonus on Heal checks. A healer's kit is exhausted after 10 uses.

Holly and Mistletoe

Druids commonly use these plants as divine focuses when casting spells.

Holy Symbol, Silver or Wooden

A holy symbol focuses positive energy and is used by good clerics and paladins (or by neutral clerics who want to cast good spells or channel positive energy). Each religion has its own holy symbol.

Unholy Symbols: An unholy symbol is like a holy symbol except that it focuses negative energy and is used by evil clerics (or by neutral clerics who want to cast evil spells or channel negative energy).

Magnifying Glass

This simple lens allows a closer look at small objects. It is also useful as a substitute for flint and steel when starting fires. Lighting a fire with a magnifying glass requires bright light, such as sunlight to focus, tinder to ignite, and at least a full-round action. A magnifying glass grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Appraise checks involving any item that is small or highly detailed.

Musical Instrument, Common or Masterwork

A masterwork instrument grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Perform checks involving its use.

Scale, Merchant's

A merchant's scale grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Appraise checks involving items that are valued by weight, including anything made of precious metals.

Spell Component Pouch

A spellcaster with a spell component pouch is assumed to have all the material components and focuses needed for spellcasting, except for those components that have a specific cost, divine focuses, and focuses that wouldn't fit in a pouch.

Spellbook, Wizard's

A spellbook has 100 pages of parchment, and each spell takes up one page per spell level (one page each for 0-level spells).

Thieves' Tools

This kit contains lockpicks and other tools you need to use the Disable Device skill. Without these tools, you must use improvised tools, and you take a –2 circumstance penalty on Disable Device checks.

Thieves' Tools, Masterwork

This kit contains extra tools and tools of better make, which grant a +2 circumstance bonus on Disable Device checks.

Tool, Masterwork

This well-made item is the perfect tool for the job. It grants a +2 circumstance bonus on a related skill check (if any). Bonuses provided by multiple masterwork items do not stack.

Clothing

All characters begin play with one outfit, valued at 10 gp or less. Additional outfits can be purchased normally.

Artisan's Outfit

This outfit includes a shirt with buttons, a skirt or pants with a drawstring, shoes, and perhaps a cap or hat. It may also include a belt or a leather or cloth apron for carrying tools.

Cleric's Vestments

These clothes are for performing priestly functions, not for adventuring. Cleric's vestments typically include a cassock, stole, and surplice.

Cold-Weather Outfit

This outfit includes a wool coat, linen shirt, wool cap, heavy cloak, thick pants or skirt, and boots. This outfit grants a +5 circumstance bonus on Fortitude saving throws against exposure to cold weather.

Courtier's Outfit

This outfit includes fancy, tailored clothes in whatever fashion happens to be the current style in the courts of the nobles. Anyone trying to influence nobles or courtiers while wearing street dress will have a hard time of it (–2 penalty on Charisma-based skill checks to influence such individuals). If you wear this outfit without jewelry (costing an additional 50 gp), you look like an out-of-place commoner.

Entertainer's Outfit

This set of flashy—perhaps even gaudy—clothes is for entertaining. While the outfit looks whimsical, its practical design lets you tumble, dance, walk a tightrope, or just run (if the audience turns ugly).

Explorer's Outfit

This set of clothes is for someone who never knows what to expect. It includes sturdy boots, leather breeches or a skirt, a belt, a shirt (perhaps with a vest or jacket), gloves, and a cloak. Rather than a leather skirt, a leather overtunic may be worn over a cloth skirt. The clothes have plenty of pockets (especially the cloak). The outfit also includes any extra accessories you might need, such as a scarf or a wide-brimmed hat.

Monk's Outfit

This simple outfit includes sandals, loose breeches, and a loose shirt, and is bound together with sashes. The outfit is designed to give you maximum mobility, and it's made of high-quality fabric. You can conceal small weapons in pockets hidden in the folds, and the sashes are strong enough to serve as short ropes.

Noble's Outfit

These clothes are designed specifically to be expensive and gaudy. Precious metals and gems are worked into the clothing. A would-be noble also needs a signet ring and jewelry (worth at least 100 gp) to accessorize this outfit.

Peasant's Outfit

This set of clothes consists of a loose shirt and baggy breeches, or a loose shirt and skirt or overdress. Cloth wrappings are used for shoes.

Royal Outfit

This is just the clothing, not the royal scepter, crown, ring, and other accoutrements. Royal clothes are ostentatious, with gems, gold, silk, and fur in abundance.

Scholar's Outfit

Perfect for a scholar, this outfit includes a robe, a belt, a cap, soft shoes, and possibly a cloak.

Traveler's Outfit

This set of clothes consists of boots, a wool skirt or breeches, a sturdy belt, a shirt (perhaps with a vest or jacket), and an ample cloak with a hood.

Food, Drink, and Lodging

These prices are for meals and accommodations at establishments in an average city.

Inn

Poor accommodations at an inn amount to a place on the floor near the hearth. Common accommodations consist of a place on a raised, heated floor and the use of a blanket and a pillow. Good accommodations consist of a small, private room with one bed, some amenities, and a covered chamber pot in the corner.

Meals

Poor meals might be composed of bread, baked turnips, onions, and water. Common meals might consist of bread, chicken stew, carrots, and watered-down ale or wine. Good meals might be composed of bread and pastries, beef, peas, and ale or wine.

Cost of Living

An adventurer's primary source of income is treasure, and his primary purchases are tools and items he needs to continue adventuring—spell components, weapons, magic items, potions, and the like. Yet what about things like food? Rent? Taxes? Bribes? Idle purchases?

You can certainly handle these minor expenditures in detail during play, but tracking every time a PC pays for a room, buys water, or pays a gate tax can swiftly become obnoxious and tiresome. If you're not really into tracking these minor costs of living, you can choose to simply ignore these small payments. A more realistic and easier-to-use method is to have PCs pay a recurring cost of living tax. At the start of every game month, a PC must pay an amount of gold equal to the lifestyle bracket he wishes to live in—if he can't afford his desired bracket, he drops down to the first one he can afford.

Destitute (0 gp/month)

The PC is homeless and lives in the wilderness or on the streets. A destitute character must track every purchase, and may need to resort to Survival checks or theft to feed himself.

Poor (3 gp/month)

The PC lives in common rooms of taverns, with his parents, or in some other communal situation—this is the lifestyle of most untrained laborers and commoners. He need not track purchases of meals or taxes that cost 1 sp or less.

Average (10 gp/month)

The PC lives in his own apartment, small house, or similar location—this is the lifestyle of most trained or skilled experts or warriors. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 1 gp or less from his home in 1d10 minutes, and need not track purchases of common meals or taxes that cost 1 gp or less.

Wealthy (100 gp/month)

The PC has a sizable home or a nice suite of rooms in a fine inn. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 5 gp or less from his belongings in his home in 1d10 minutes, and need only track purchases of meals or taxes in excess of 10 gp.

Extravagant (1,000 gp/month)

The PC lives in a mansion, castle, or other extravagant home—he might even own the building in question. This is the lifestyle of most aristocrats. He can secure any nonmagical item worth 25 gp or less from his belongings in his home in 1d10 minutes. He need only track purchases of meals or taxes in excess of 100 gp.

Mounts and Related Gear

These are the common mounts available in most cities. Some markets might have additional creatures available, such as camels or even griffons, depending on the terrain. Such additional choices are up to GM discretion.

Barding, Medium Creature and Large Creature

Barding is a type of armor that covers the head, neck, chest, body, and possibly legs of a horse or other mount. Barding made of medium or heavy armor provides better protection than light barding, but at the expense of speed. Barding can be made of any of the armor types found on Table: Armor and Shields.

Armor for a horse (a Large non-humanoid creature) costs four times as much as human armor (a Medium humanoid creature) and also weighs twice as much (see Table: Armor for Unusual Creatures). If the barding is for a pony or other Medium mount, the cost is only double, and the weight is the same as for Medium armor worn by a humanoid. Medium or heavy barding slows a mount that wears it, as shown on the table below.

Flying mounts can't fly in medium or heavy barding.

Removing and fitting barding takes five times as long as the figures given on Table: Donning Armor. A barded animal cannot be used to carry any load other than a rider and normal saddlebags.

Bit & Bridle

Dog, Guard

While the official rules do not indicate statistics for a "guard dog", we think it is reasonable to assume the common dog would be the basis for a guard dog, with "guard" training per the Handle Animal skill. Just remember that that is not an "official" statement from Paizo.

Handle Animal "Guard" Training: An animal trained to guard knows the tricks attack, defend, down, and guard.

Attack - The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks.

Defend - The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend a specific other character.

Down - The animal breaks off from combat or otherwise backs down. An animal that doesn’t know this trick continues to fight until it must f lee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated.

Guard - The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching.

Dog, Riding

This Medium dog is specially trained to carry a Small humanoid rider. It is brave in combat like a war-trained horse. Due to its smaller stature, you take no damage when you fall from a riding dog.

Donkey or Mule

Donkeys and mules are stolid in the face of danger, hardy, surefooted, and capable of carrying heavy loads over vast distances. Unlike a horse, a donkey or a mule is willing (though not eager) to enter dungeons and other strange or threatening places.

Eagle

These large birds of prey, when domesticated and used by a skilled falconer, can aid in hunting or even carry messages. Eagle: 50 gp

Eggs

For those beasts that are hatched from eggs, buying one as an egg is the cheapest means of procuring one. Additionally, being with the creature from the moment it hatches will help beast and owner bond. However, successfully raising an egg, keeping it viable until the creature within does hatch, is a difficult business, particularly with some of the more exotic beasts which require unusual and specific circumstances to incubate. The Beast Within does offer incubation services to its customers, making it far more likely the dearly-bought egg will survive to hatch.

• Chimera Egg: 5,000 gp
• Dragonne Egg: 5,000 gp
• Giant Eagle Egg: 2,500 gp
• Giant Owl Egg: 2,500 gp
• Griffon Egg: 3,500 gp
• Hippogriff Egg: 2,000 gp
• Pegasus Egg: 2,000 gp
• Roc Egg: 7,500 gp
• Wyvern Egg: 4,000 gp
  

Elephant

These massive beasts from tropical lands make an excellent and intimidating battlefield force. They can transport a huge amount of weight easily, but are somewhat unpredictable. Elephant: 3,000 gp

Feed

Horses, donkeys, mules, and ponies can graze to sustain themselves, but providing feed for them is better. If you have a riding dog, you have to feed it meat.

Hawk

These birds of prey, when domesticated and used by a skilled falconer, can aid in hunting or even carry messages. Hawk: 35 gp

Horse or Pony

A horse is suitable as a mount for a human, dwarf, elf, half-elf, or half-orc. A pony is smaller than a horse and is a suitable mount for a gnome or halfling.

A combat-trained horse can be ridden into combat without danger. See the Handle Animal skill for a list of tricks known by horses and ponies with combat training.

Saddle (exotic)

An exotic saddle is designed for an unusual mount. Exotic saddles come in military, pack, and riding styles.

Saddle (military)

This saddle braces the rider, providing a +2 circumstance bonus on Ride checks related to staying in the saddle. If you're knocked unconscious while in a military saddle, you have a 75% chance to stay in the saddle.

Saddle (pack)

A pack saddle holds gear and supplies, but not a rider. It holds as much gear as the mount can carry.

Saddle (riding)

If you are knocked unconscious while in a riding saddle, you have a 50% chance to stay in the saddle.

Saddlebags

Saddlebags weigh 8 lbs and hold up to 5 cubic ft. or 250 lb. of gear.

Stabling

Transport

The prices listed are to purchase the vehicle. These prices generally exclude crew or animals.

Barge

A barge is a flat-bottomed, usually rectangular boat designed for hauling cargo along inland waterways. Barges are usually simple affairs, some are no more than glorified rafts, although they can be up to 200 feet long. The larger ones usually sport an enclosed space, like a little building on one end of the ship with cots, a table, and chairs inside. Smaller barges in relatively shallow water are usually poled along by rowers.

Face 100 ft. by 40 ft.; Height 10 ft. (draft 10 ft.); Crew 10 (40 rowers); Cargo 100 tons; Cost 6,000 gp.

Carriage

This four-wheeled vehicle can transport as many as four people within an enclosed cab, plus two drivers who sit in front of the cab. In general, horses (or two other beasts of burden) draw it. A carriage comes with the harness needed to pull it. A carriage is meant for personal transport, not to haul cargo. It can carry only a limited amount of cargo, stored on the roof or tied to the back of the cab. The capacity of the roof is approximately 200 pounds.

Carriage: 100 gp; 600 lb.

Cart

This two-wheeled vehicle can be drawn by a single horse (or other beast of burden). It comes with a harness.

Further description courtesy of the 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide: A cart is open-topped. The most common dray creature for a cart is a mule, which can pull the vehicle at a speed of 20 feet even if it’s fully loaded.

Chariot

A chariot is a single-axle, two-wheeled vehicle that is usually pulled by one or two horses, or other swift beasts of burden. It is intended for combat, not transport. Chariots are often used by officers and commanders to move swiftly about the battlefield, allowing them to take a more direct hand in commanding troops during the heat and press of battle.
A chariot has room for a driver and a passenger, and is enclosed on three sides by a low wall that comes to slightly above the waist on an average-sized Medium-size creature. The back of the chariot is usually left open. The low walls of the chariot bestow some degree of cover to the driver and passenger, granting them a +4 bonus to armor class and a +2 bonus to Reflex saves. Chariot: 40 gp; 250 lb.

Galley

This three-masted ship has 70 oars on either side and requires a total crew of 200. A galley is 130 feet long and 20 feet wide, and can carry 150 tons of cargo or 250 soldiers. For 8,000 gp more, it can be fitted with a ram and castles with firing platforms fore, aft, and amidships. This ship cannot make sea voyages and sticks to the coast. It moves about 4 miles per hour when being rowed or under sail.

Further description courtesy of the 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide: A galley has enough flat deck space to accommodate three heavy catapults or six ballistas or light catapults. War galleys generally convert much of their cargo space into passenger space for soldiers.

Face 130 ft. by 20 ft.; Height 20 ft. (draft 15 ft.); Crew 200 (160 rowers); Cargo 150 tons (Spd wind × 10 ft. or oars 15 ft. if 75 tons or more); Cost 30,000 gp.

Keelboat

This 50- to 75-foot-long ship is 15 to 20 feet wide and has a few oars to supplement its single mast with a square sail. It has a crew of 8 to 15 and can carry 40 to 50 tons of cargo or 100 soldiers. It can make sea voyages, as well as sail down rivers (thanks to its flat bottom). It moves about 1 mile per hour.

Litter, Collapsing

The collapsing litter is a perennial favorite of adventurers and can be easily carried by a normal person. A collapsing litter consists of a dozen two-foot rods, an equal number of pins and a harness, all wrapped inside a canvas tarp for ease of carrying. The rods are fitted with socketed ends, allowing them to be speedily put together and secured to one another with a pin. The rods are assembled to construct two 12-foot long poles, which are slid into the sides of the canvas tarp and secured to a horse or other beast of burden with the included harness. The collapsing litter is meant to help adventurers convey injured comrades to safety, and can hold a creature of Medium-size or smaller. The weight limit for the tarp and assembled poles is 400 pounds. Litter, Collapsing: 15 gp; 20 lb.

Longship

This 75-foot-long ship with 40 oars requires a total crew of 50. It has a single mast and a square sail, and it can carry 50 tons of cargo or 120 soldiers. A longship can make sea voyages. It moves about 3 miles per hour when being rowed or under sail.

Oar

This is a replacement oar for an oared craft.

Rowboat

This 8- to 12-foot-long boat with two oars holds two or three Medium passengers. It moves about 1-1/2 miles per hour.

Sailing Ship

This large, seaworthy ship is 75 to 90 feet long and 20 feet wide, and has a crew of 20. It can carry 150 tons of cargo. It has square sails on its two masts and can make sea voyages. It moves about 2 miles per hour.

Sled

This is a wagon on runners for snow and ice travel. In general, two horses (or other beasts of burden) draw it. A sled comes with the harness needed to pull it.

Wagon

A four-wheeled, open vehicle for transporting heavy loads. Two horses (or other beasts of burden) must draw it. A wagon comes with the harness needed to pull it.

Further description courtesy of the 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide: A wagon is open-topped, so the driver and any passengers gain one-half cover behind 1 inch of wood. The most common dray creatures for the wagon are two heavy horses, which are strong enough to pull the wagon at a speed of 35 feet, even if it’s fully loaded. Wagons are the most common means for an invading army to move siege engines from place to place. A wagon can also be equipped with a heavy catapult (adding 2 tons to the wagon’s weight and eliminating the cargo capacity) or a light catapult (adding 1 ton to weight, leaving 1 ton of cargo space for ammunition).

Warship

This 100-foot-long ship has a single mast, although oars can also propel it. It has a crew of 60 to 80 rowers. This ship can carry 160 soldiers, but not for long distances, since there isn't room for supplies to support that many people. The warship cannot make sea voyages and sticks to the coast. It is not used for cargo. It moves about 2-1/2 miles per hour when being rowed or under sail.

Further description courtesy of the 3.0 Arms and Equipment Guide: A warship can accommodate two heavy catapults or four light catapults or ballistas. Four launches are used as lifeboats and troop transports (not included in the price).

Face 100 ft. by 20 ft.; Height 20 ft. (draft 15 ft.); Crew 260 (80 rowers, 160 marines); Cargo 5 tons; Cost 25,000 gp.

Spellcasting and Services

Sometimes the best solution to a problem is to hire someone else to take care of it.

Coach Cab

The price given is for a ride in a coach that transports people (and light cargo) between towns. For a ride in a cab that transports passengers within a city, 1 copper piece usually takes you anywhere you need to go.

Hireling, Trained

The amount given is the typical daily wage for mercenary warriors, masons, craftsmen, cooks, scribes, teamsters, and other trained hirelings. This value represents a minimum wage; many such hirelings require significantly higher pay.

Hireling, Untrained

The amount shown is the typical daily wage for laborers, maids, and other menial workers.

Messenger

This includes horse-riding messengers and runners. Those willing to carry a message to a place they were going anyway may ask for only half the indicated amount.

Road or Gate Toll

A toll is sometimes charged to cross a well-kept and well-guarded road to pay for patrols on it and for its upkeep. Occasionally, a large, walled city charges a toll to enter or exit (or sometimes just to enter).

Ship's Passage

Most ships do not specialize in passengers, but many have the capability to take a few along when transporting cargo. Double the given cost for creatures larger than Medium or creatures that are otherwise difficult to bring aboard a ship.

Spellcasting

The indicated amount is how much it costs to get a spellcaster to cast a spell for you. This cost assumes that you can go to the spellcaster and have the spell cast at his convenience (generally at least 24 hours later, so that the spellcaster has time to prepare the spell in question). If you want to bring the spellcaster somewhere to cast a spell you need to negotiate with him, and the default answer is no.

The cost given is for any spell that does not require a costly material component. If the spell includes a material component, add the cost of that component to the cost of the spell. If the spell has a focus component (other than a divine focus), add 1/10 the cost of that focus to the cost of the spell.

Furthermore, if a spell has dangerous consequences, the spellcaster will certainly require proof that you can and will pay for dealing with any such consequences (that is, assuming that the spellcaster even agrees to cast such a spell, which isn't certain). In the case of spells that transport the caster and characters over a distance, you will likely have to pay for two castings of the spell, even if you aren't returning with the caster.

In addition, not every town or village has a spellcaster of sufficient level to cast any spell. In general, you must travel to a small town (or larger settlement) to be reasonably assured of finding a spellcaster capable of casting 1st-level spells, a large town for 2nd-level spells, a small city for 3rd- or 4th-level spells, a large city for 5th- or 6th-level spells, and a metropolis for 7th- or 8th-level spells. Even a metropolis isn't guaranteed to have a local spellcaster able to cast 9th-level spells.

Selling Treasure

In general, a character can sell something for half its listed price, including weapons, armor, gear, and magic items. This also includes character-created items.

Trade goods are the exception to the half-price rule. A trade good, in this sense, is a valuable good that can be easily exchanged almost as if it were cash itself.
