<h1>Playing Natural Fantasy Equipment</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Playing Fabula Ultima in a natural fantasy setting is an excellent
|
||
opportunity to express your creativity and design pieces of equipment tied
|
||
to folklore, exploration and the protagonists’ personality.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
This section contains tips to help you imagine and describe compelling
|
||
natural fantasy equipment, followed by a list of new rare items you can
|
||
include in your campaign or use as inspiration.

<h2>Ingenuity and Personality</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In natural fantasy worlds, every item tells a story, highlighting the
|
||
ingenuity and the craftsmanship of its creator, whether it’s a treasure from
|
||
ages past or a trusty tool for adventurers.
|
||
</p>
|

|
||
<strong>Past and Present.</strong> In natural fantasy campaigns,
|
||
contemporary equipment often looks very down to earth and no-frills – not
|
||
very memorable, perhaps, but solid and reliable. On the other hand, more
|
||
elaborate and unusual pieces of equipment are often handed down from
|
||
generation to generation, or retrieved from the depths of mysterious ruins
|
||
and adapted to new uses. Firearms often fall in the last category and are
|
||
a once-in-a-lifetime sight.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Accessories of all kinds.</strong> Natural fantasy accessories can
|
||
be divided into three main categories: precious jewelry created with
|
||
highly refined craftsmanship and symbolic materials, like silver, iron,
|
||
jade, bone, or the scales of a specific creature; lucky charms and other
|
||
personal creations; and finally, practical tools that the characters carry
|
||
for emergencies. This last category is of particular importance because of
|
||
an underlying message: even the most humble tool can become powerful in
|
||
the hands of a hero that deeply cares for it.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Built with your own hands.</strong> One of the most distinctive
|
||
design principles of natural fantasy is the ingenious combination of
|
||
ancient technologies and recycled materials, such as repeating crossbows
|
||
built with wood and bone, alchemical arquebuses, steam-powered devices,
|
||
and blades forged with unknown alloys or components recovered from ancient
|
||
constructs. These tools usually follow the standard profiles included in
|
||
the Core Rulebook, but the most complex and unlikely weapons might require
|
||
the custom weapon rules (see page 112).
|
||

|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<strong
|
||
>In short, natural fantasy items should stand out for their practical
|
||
appearance, handmade quality, the ability to merge ancient technologies
|
||
and recycled materials, or reveal something about those who chose, created
|
||
or gifted them.</strong
