* - these items weigh one-quarter amount when made for small characters.

Aspergillum - This lightweight metal device looks like a small club or light mace.  Each contains a reservoir that can hold up to 3 pints (three flasks) of holy water.  By shaking the aspergillum as a standard action, you can sprinkle one flask of holy water onto a target within melee reach.  This action is a ranged touch attack (which does not provoke an attack of opportunity).  An aspergillum does not require a proficiency to use.  Many adventurers prefer using an aspergillum to dispense holy water rather than throwing or pouring out the contents of a flask.

Bandoleer - This leather belt has loops or pouches for carrying small items (up to dagger size).  It is usually worn across the chest.  It holds eight items.

Bandoleer, Masterworked - This well-crafted bandoleer holds twelve items.

Games - Some games of skill are detailed below, but games of chance are also popular.  Waggering on any sort of game is also a favorite pastime.
Chess - Faerunian chess pieces include kings, queens, priests (bishops), knights, rooks, and pawns.  Sets often use famous figures, such as rulers or dieties, as kings.  A set consists of thirty-two pieces ad a board in a wooden case.  A fine set has ebony and ivory pieces and a marble board.  A common set is made from more humble materials, such as carved and dyed wood.
Draughts - Draughts is similar to the modern game of checkers.  A set consists of twenty-four clay or stone pieces and a board of alternating black and white squares in a wooden case.  The board is the same a s chess board in pattern.
Old Men's Bones - This game is similar to the modern game of pick-up sticks.  the object is to remove the bones fro the pile you have dumped them into at a time without toppling the pile.  The sat has"sticks" made from bones (usually fowl) and a leather or metal canister to store them in.
Talis Deck - A deck of seventy-0eigth casrds, typically made of lacquered paper or parchment, in a wooden case.  Y+The deck is similar to a tarot deck.

Hammock - an inovation fro the land of Maztica, a hammock is a hemp or linen blanket with sturdy cords woven into it so that it can be strung up between two trees or other vertical supports.

Insect Netting - These sheets of fine mesh are made of silk fro Kara-Tur.  When draped around a sleeper in a bedroll or hammock, insect netting keeps away narmal insects (Fine vermin, but not magical effects that employ such creatures such as insect plague or creeping doom).

Marbles - About two dozen assorted glass, flawed rock crystal, or clay spheres in a leather pouch.  Commonly used as a toy, but also useful in checking the slope of a dungeon corridor (just set one down and see which way it rolls), or as a nondamaging alternative to caltrops.  One bag covers an area 5 feet square.  Creatures moving through or fighting in the area must make Balance checks (DC 15) or be unable to ove for 1 round (or they may fall; see the Balance skill description in the Player's Handbook).

Potion Belt - This sturdy leather belt similar to a bandoleer has pockets shaped to hold potion vials and is fitted with ties or flaps tokep the potions from falling out.  It holds six potions.  Retrieving a potion from a potion belt is a free action once per round.

Potion Belt, Masterworked - This extremly well-made potion belt holds ten potions.  Retrieving a potion from a potion belt is a free action once per round.

Scroll Organizer - This long strip of leather has an overlapping series of fifteen pockets sewn along one side, each large enough to hold a scroll of a single spell.  When slipped into a pocket, only the top of the scroll shows, allowing you to scan the scrolls' title.  Retrieving a scroll from a scroll organizer is a free action once per round.
