Crowbar

A crowbar is a practical tool for situations where strength and a suitable point of support can be used. In Elaria, it belongs in workshops, wagon supplies, and the equipment of explorers of ruins. It may be an ordinary work tool or bear the mark of a group that uses it regularly. Its value grows where pushing by hand is not enough.

When prying open doors, crates, or similar obstacles, it improves the relevant strength test. The hero must still explain where and how it will be used; it does not automatically overcome a completely unsuitable obstacle. Its utility effect does not make it a combat weapon with an unlisted bonus. The party may also consider the consequences of opening something and whether anyone behind the door could be endangered.

Rules effect: +2 STR when prying open doors, crates, and similar obstacles. The price is 8 sp. The item is reusable rather than a single-use supply. Its listed effect applies to the situation it is intended for. Additional bonuses, other forms of protection, and new magical abilities are not part of this entry.
