When designing a rare item for a natural fantasy campaign, take some time to
think about the story it tells:
</h1>
<p>One of the core themes of natural fantasy is <strong>transformation</strong>, which can also be interpreted as the death or sacrifice of something in order for something else to exist. From this point of view, a character’s equipment is a collection of stories, taken from fragments of other beings’ lives and bodies.</p>

<p>The rules for creating rare items from materials (see page 76) offer an excellent opportunity to dive deep into this concept over the course of the campaign.</p>

<h2>Special Equipment</h2>
<p>Characters with animal or plant-like features are rather common in the natural fantasy genre, and it might be interesting to create equipment tailor-made for them (perhaps using the custom weapon rules; see page 112), or give their pieces of equipment an unusual name and appearance.</p>

<strong>Example:</strong> A spider-person using silk flails or elemental stingers; a flower fairy dressed in petals; an anthropomorphic cactus whose caps and berets are actually custom weapons that determine the profile of their needle spray.

<h2>Special Equipment</h2>
<h2>Historical, Folkloric, and Literary References</h2>
<p>If you’re looking for a name for a natural fantasy item but you’re short on ideas, you might draw inspiration from items and creatures from folklore and literature, especially works tied to spirits, ghosts, or fairies, or you could pay homage to famous scholars, warriors, artisans and explorers from the real world.</p>
<div class="example">
<strong>Example Names:</strong> Bai Suzhen, Boggart, Bradamante, Cervantes, Csoma, Da Vinci, Earhart, Gentileschi, Grimm, Guðríðr, Gwyllion, Huolong, Kaguya, Oberon, Okiku, Qingzhao, Rembrandt, Shahrazād, Shiranui, T omoe, Vasilisa, Yoshizawa, Zaratan.
