Equipment Arrays (Kits)

Equipment arrays help simplify character sheets and reduce the need for precise bookkeeping. Instead of writing down all the mundane equipment, simply write in the name of the array, figure the cost and encumbrance, and use the lists as a reference sheet. Arrays are also helpful when kitting out your adventurer and you have no idea what he or she should have at hand.

Most of these items can be found in the Player's Handbook. Complete Adventurer, Arms and Equipment Guide, and other adventuring guides also have useful items for especially tough missions.
