What's in your pack?

[Jacen]

2 survival necklaces (Each consists of a ringsaw, with padding, small beaded chain, mirror-polished and sharpened "dog tags", signal whistle, compass, tinderbox with flint & steel, needle, 3 candles, 3 tindertwigs, and compass. One worn, one with extra clothes).

Adventure dead by accident. Hunged by his neclace. Guess why IRL those key chains have to have safety system on them. Your ringsaw cound hold a mans weight -> survival roll gets new meaning . OH you rolled 1. Well roll a new character...

So If you are going to wood real life look out what you put around your neck. Gold&silver chains do not take full body weight so jewelery is not that dangerous.

(full) waterskin
rope and grappling hook
fire kit
2 candles
chalk
an empty flask
5 sunrods (we're in the Underdark)

Black Brimbor's Treatises on the Nature of Lichdom and the Foul Steps to be Taken on the Way to It

The last one was added as flavour on the fly to the room of a necromancer we defeated and the DM has most likely long forgotten about it. I think I'll use it as bargaining material at some point.

No two of my PC's backpacks are the same, but if I can, I abuse Shrink Item as much as possible...

Hmmm, that brings new levels of nastiness to the sudden thrust version of the telekinesis spell.

Some basic things all my charcters usually carry include:

Chalk
Rope
Flint & Steel
Small Mirror
Flask
Sack
Ink
Sealing Wax
Paper/Parchment
Bedroll
Empty Vials
Fishing Line & Hook

Plus any other odd thiings we find while adventuring. My characters usually have a Hewards Handy Haversack so anything the group finds they say "Let (fill in the character name) carry it! He's got lots of room in his backpack.

[Ralif Redhammer]

Even my characters that can forage or hunt for food always have iron rations and a waterskin. I learned that lesson from the old PC game Dungeon Master. Some sort of a light source is a must for any human character.

I don't know that my characters have ever really carried anything that strange. One has a particularly tough-shelled egg that the character is planning on making an omelet with, but I'm fully expecting something nasty will end up hatching from it.
