Bariaur Harness
This specially designed frame backpack takes advantage of the bariaur's large back and unique physical configuration. The harness can carry up to 90 pounds of equipment and has a volume of 3½ ft. × 3 ft. × 1 ft. It costs 3 gp and weighs 4 lb.

Bariaur Horned Helm
A bariaur using this special helmet to charge an opponent still inflicts 1d8 points of damage, but since he relies on the spiked horns to inflict some of the damage, he needn't use as much force. Therefore, while he must still make a Fortitude save to avoid taking damage, a failed save results in the bariaur taking ½ of the damage he inflicted as subdual damage (rather than all of it).
Bariaur females can utilise this helmet to perform charging attacks, even though they don't possess horns.
A horned helm must be tailor-made for each individual to insure proper fitting (requiring 1d6+2 days construction time). It weighs 10 lb. and costs 45 gp.

Bariaur Saddle
Bariaur don't make a regular practice of allowing others to ride on their backs. However, situations arise when it is expedient to carry a companion rather than leave her behind due to wounds or sickness. For these situations, some bariaur carry special saddles, resembling in many ways a cross between a horse's saddle and the aforementioned bariaur harness. These leather harnesses cost 10 gp and weigh 10 lb.

Bariaur Shoes
Like horsehoes, these iron-shod shoes protect a bariaur's feet when he runs or walks on rough surfaces. They cost 5 gp for a set of four, and have negligable weight.

Celestial Etherscrope
This device appears magical, but it involves no enchantment. The etherscope comprises a complex set of brass-bound lenses, tubes, and glass vials filled with coloured liquids. The whole thing is about 2 ft. by 1 ft. by 1 ft., and is extremely delicate. The device costs 1,000 gp and weighs 50 lb.
By looking at light refracted through the lenses and coloured liquids, a character with the Planology skill can attempt to discern the tides of fortune on a particular plane. Only a specially trained planar craftsman can construct an etherscope.

Modron Armour
Although rogue modrons are far too rare even in Sigil for armourers to have ready-made armour, many find it desirable to supplement their natural protection. Fortunately, rogue modron armour is very easy to make, essentially being flat sheets of metal with holes for the modron's arms and face. The sheets themselves can be held together with leather straps, or simply bolted directly onto the modron. Since all rogue modrons are the same size, no special work need go into the fitting.

Modron Storage Container
While all sorts of packs, sacks, and even shelves can be affixed to a rogue modron, the most common sort of attachment is a boxlike container of metal and leather that can hold up to 100 lb. and has a volume of 1½ ft. × 3 ft. × 1 ft. It costs 5 gp and weighs 10 lb.

Modron Clothing
Most rogue modrons don't wear clothing, but if one wishes to have a cloak or (more commonly) wear a belt, the prices for all such garb are three to five times normal due to their odd shape and size.
