The shop reflects the variety of common items a party of adventurers will be required to purchase in their journeys, mostly for the objective of defending themselves. It is divided into multiple common sections. Items in this shop can be purhased anywhere, and there are many items for sale in Ourissa which are not part of the shop, although these will be much harder to locate outside city centres.
A few notes on the way the shop is organized. Weapons with a dash in front of the name are two handed. Armor with an asterisk in front of the name are complicated to create and require industrialized facilities, and may only be purchased at Varans, Ayotya, Pirae, Tanja and the Ayotya border forts. Arrows are assumed to come with bows and do not need to be purchased.
The potions in the shop are single use affairs. Poisons must be applied by a Hitman or Chemist with the applicable skill. The other potions can be imbibed by anyone, but a character can only use a single potion in one day. Magikal Tomes can only be used by one spellcaster, but can be carried until used.
The rations and adventuring paraphernalia in the tools section are to be seen as extra equipment. It is assumed that a party will travel with basic food, water and other necessities, but having a stockpile of extra products can and will be of help on longer quests in unpopulated areas.
As far as weight is concerned, everything in the shop is considered to be one object, and remember that characters can hold as many objects as their strength score plus one. There are the following exceptions to this. The four knifes and daggers in the shop do not count for this item limit, and full plate armor has the unique exception of counting doubly towards this limit. As far as steeds are concerned, every character can have a single horse to ride, but the party is only allowed one pack animal to carry equipment.
