	A set of two flags, to be wielded in each hand and used for signalling. The difficulty of reading a semaphore signal is 5 per 1,000 ft of distance under ideal conditions. A Linguistics check with the standard DC to decipher a message is needed to either read or send a message. If the two parties share knowledge of a signalling language (such as [[Linguistics_(Apath)#Oerdian \| Ferral]]), this Linguistics check gains a +10 bonus.

			=== Signal Flags (20 gp; 10 lb) ===
			A set of flags each 2 ft' square, intended to be tied in sequences and used for signalling.
			No universal signaling language exists, but signals can be agreed upon.
			Some colors are beginning to get universally understood meanings; yellow (disease), red (no quarter), black (challenge), white (parley).
			A signal flag can be read at about 1 mile.
			A signal flag has AC 18 (it is not an immobile object when flying in the wind) and 5 hit points. It is immune to piercing and bludgeoning damage.

	There is a number of personal items ubiquitous in each culture; examples from various areas include armor, saddles, sheathes, holy symbols, codpieces, corsets, clogs, high-heeled boots, fancy hats, sword hilts, and so on. ~~The trick is to select an item so common it does not register as unusual, yet large enough and rigid enough to hold a compartment.~~ Such objects can be fitted with secret compartments, perfect for hiding a weapon like a knife, reserve funds, a potion, or other objects up to 8 ounces or so in weight. The compartment is lined in lead to foil many detection spells. A secret compartment like this will pass most searches automatically, and only a determined search allows a Perception check (DC 20) to discover the compartment.

	Used to absorb falls and to provide limited flight, gliders are large fixed wings (looking somewhat like a ~~great~~ sail or kite) with a wingspan of 20 ft. (for a Medium character). A character who wears a glider and deliberately jumps off from a height takes no falling damage and will only descend at a rate of 5 ft. each round. Make an Acrobatics or Fly check each round with a DC depending on wind turbulence. On a failure by up to four points, the glider moves straight ahead. On a failure by five points or more, the glider stalls, dropping 2d6 x 5 ft. If this forces the character to land, there is normal falling damage and the glider is destroyed.

	As long as the glide roll succeeds the user can move horizontally a number of feet equal to twice the roll (minimum 20 feet). Using a glider requires a full-round action each round.

	=== ~~Tern~~-~~coating~~ (1 sp) ===		=== Terne-plating (1 sp) ===
	Items can be covered in a thin layer of a mix of tin and lead to shield them (and their contents) from certain detection spells, such as ''detect magic''. A ~~tern~~-plated object looks like it is made of dull grey metal of little value, but a DC 10 Appraise check is enough to realize the truth if an item is studied. An item to be plated must not be overly flexible or heat-sensitive. Metal, bone, glass, ceramic, and wooden objects are routinely tern-plated. Tern-plating gradually wears thin and has to be renewed after about a month of adventuring or a year of normal use. The cost given is to coat a small item like a dagger, potion, or scroll case; a one-handed melee weapon costs five times as much, a two-handed melee weapon 10 times, a pole arm or missile weapon 25 times as much. Soft containers cannot be plated, but bottles and boxes can; the cost is about 1 sp per cubic foot of volume. A room or building can have its walls, floor, and ceiling tern-plated at a cost of 1 gp per 5 ft. cube. Tern-plating in construction is usually hidden to prevent wear and lasts as long as the building.

	This common club is covered with a thick coating of the substance used to make tindertwigs. When struck against a solid surface (as a swift action or an attack against a target with an armor or natural armor bonus of +5 or more), the head of the club ignites and burns brightly. For the next minute the club sheds light as a torch and when employed as a club it deals an additional 1d4 points of fire damage on a successful hit. At the end of the five rounds, the flames die out and the club is destroyed. Putting out a tinderclub is a full round action that gives the club the broken condition.
