[QUOTE="Henry, post: 104009, member: 158"] In my group, no adventurer is considered complete until he or she has two items: 1.Heward's haversack 2.Boots of Striding and springing For a halfling or gnome, a H.H.H. is a Godsend; it weighs 5 pounds, and holds 100 combined pounds of gear. AND, it is like wearing an item that gives you the equivalent of quickdraw on anything in the sack! Many is the time I have impressed my group by my halfling acting like a general store: You need fishhooks? Ink? Ink Pen? Flasks of Acid? Oil? Potions of curing/haste/jumping/spider climbing? crowbar? Chess and draughts sets? Deck of cards for gambling? Bedroll, blanket, and small tent? It's all here, baby! :D Basically if it was on the items for sale lists, was low weight, and cost under 50 gp, I had it. I even carried one extra holy symbol of every party member's god! (I got that idea from that wonderful scene in [I]The Mummy[/I] with Brendan Fraser!) The Boots of S&S, or "The BoSS" as we sometimes called them, were almost as useful. If the only thing they offered was double movement, I would STILL pay a 6,000 gp price tag. For a halfling, a 40 speed is incalculably useful. As one player put it when he first saw my character move 40 feet and shoot, "You are one [I]fast[/I] little man." :) [/QUOTE]
