The Bull's Ware Thread (Robert's Rebellion)
THE BULL'S WARESPersonal Equipment
This is the list of Upgrades and Items you can buy for your Castles and Characters. Post what you buy and the cost here, and don't forget to update your Vault afterwards.
These are items equipped to characters to improve their traits.
Weapons and Armour
Armour sets are available to all characters and both genders, with certain ranks beginning with access to certain armour sets. The attire chosen for wear impacts the wearer's abilities in terms of movement and survivability.
Armour Sets
Studded Leather Armour (+5 hp, +2 Scout, +2 Assassin, +2 Capture) - The simplest armour in terms of creation and the weakest by way of protection, this armour nonetheless provides the user much better movement and is favoured by those who would rather be quick on their feet over having the ability to slug it out in a melee. A studded leather chestpiece with hardened leather vambraces, shinguards, thighguards and boots. This set of armour costs 15,000 Dragons.
Chainmail Armour (+10 hp, +1 Scout, +2 Duels, +1 Survival) - The armour of choice for most freedmen, chainmail is affordable yet offers some protection on the battlefield. A mix of studded leather with a mail coat or mail worked into the leather. This set of armour costs 30,000 Dragons.
Partial Plate (+20 hp, +4 Duels, +2 Survival) - The optimal trade-off between mobility and protection, partial plate armour is often worn by those of a knightly bearing. A thick and solid plate chestpiece protects the vital organs while segments covering the thighs, shins and forearms allow blows to be deflected or absorbed. Leaving the upper arms and legs largely unrestricted means that movement isn't too heavily constrained, allowing the wearer mobility for duelling. This set of armour costs 40,000 Dragons.
Full Plate (+20 hp, +1 Battles, +6 Survival, +5 post-battle condition rolls) - Covering oneself from head to toe in the best plate available brings significant advantages and drawbacks. You become near-impossible to kill but also don't move much yourself. Favoured by knights taking to the battlefield, knowing their main role in such an event will be to present the heaviest possible mass atop a horse to plough through enemy troops in a formation of massed heavy horse, this is a set of armour for surviving a major battle rather than a set for everyday wear or single combat. This set of armour costs 60,000 Dragons.
Weapons
Weapons are divided into three overaching types: those used exclusively in one hand, those used with one or two depending on the context, and those large enough to require two hands at all times. Each comes with benefits and drawbacks.
A single handed weapon and shield (+2 Duels, +4 Survival, +6 hp) offers the most survivability, allowing the user to shelter behind the shield and use it to further protect themselves, but at the cost of sacrificing the reach and power afforded by the larger, heavier weapons. This combination costs 30,000 Dragons.
A bastard sword (+4 Duels, +4 Survival), the most common name for large single-handed weapons, are typically used without shields but are lighter and thus more mobile than greatswords, giving the user the ability to position themselves faster and exploit the situation with more agility, at the cost of reduced reach and less power than a greatsword, but superior reach and power to a single handed weapon. These weapons cost 25,000 Dragons.
A greatsword (+7 Duels, +2 Survival) represents those swords that are the largest, heaviest weapons, be they swords, poleaxes, greataxes or warmaces. These weapons are sluggish but mighty: a solid blow from such a weapon, even to a shield, could break the arm of the target or outright shatter lesser weapons. The key to surviving such weapons is mobility, while the key to their masterful use is conservation of energy and the efficient application of it into well aimed, well timed strikes of immense power. These weapons cost 30,000 Dragons.
Notes
- Kingsguard may select any single armour and weapon set for free.
- If a character with any of this equipment dies, their weapon may be inherited but the armour cannot be inherited: anyone can use any weapon, but armour was crafted to fit the user.
Valyrian Steel
These swords cannot be purchased or created. They are listed here only for convenience as other weapons are listed here.
List of VS weapons
Weapons are one handed swords unless specified as Greatswords. The single axe on the list is to be regarded as a one handed sword.
- Heartsbane (Greatsword) - House Tarly of Horn Hill
- Longclaw (Bastard Sword) - House Mormont of Bear Island
- Lady Forlorn - House Corbray of Heartshome
- Red Rain, House Drumm (Probably the stolen ancestral sword of House Reyne)
- Nightfall, House Harlaw of Harlaw
- Crab Pincer (Axe - One Hand Sword for stat purposes), House Celtigar of Claw Isle
- Ice (Greatsword), House Stark of Winterfell
- Blackfyre (Bastard Sword), ancestral sword of House Targaryen/Blackfyre, location unknown
- Dark Sister, ancestral sword of House Targaryen, location unknown.
- Vigilance, House Hightower of Oldtown
- Orphan Maker, House Roxton of the Ring
- Dawn (Greatsword), House Dayne of Starfall (not technically a Valyrian Steel weapon, but said to be as sharp as one, and still magical)
- Lamentation - Ancestral sword of House Royce. Location unknown, rumored to lie in the Dragon Pit.
Reforging and Renaming rules
They can be re-forged once acquired for RP purposes at a cost of 40,000 Dragons per reforging.
--- Can be reforged into the same thing (eg 1h to 1h) to give it a new name and look. You cannot rename without reforging.
--- Reforging a Greatsword can give you either one new Greatsword or two new Swords.
--- Reforging two Swords can give you either one new Greatsword or two new Swords.
--- Reforging will be subject to decent RP being done. House Tarly wouldn't just decide to melt down their ancient family heirloom and reforge two new swords, for example.
Any House in possession of any of the one-handed variant of these weapons is entitled to a free "single handed weapon and shield" weapon, with the +Duels bonus being +4 rather than +2. Any House in possession of any of the Bastard Sword variants is entitled to a free " hand-and-a-half longsword" weapon, with the +Duels bonus being +6 rather than +4. Any House in possession of any of the Greatsword variants is entitled to a free "greatsword" weapon, with the +Duels bonus being +9 rather than +7.
Personal Retinue
These are people that can be hired to augment the player character's abilities through their expertise.
Retinue
A Lord is always accompanied by a retinue, which is usually made up of his most trusted knights, companions, friends and other persons of use to him. A Lord so willing can attract any manner of person to his service when the right incentives are offered: people with particular skills will sell their services to whoever can pay for them, and are often freedmen not bound by oath to any single Lord.
A Lord may hire up to five such persons, each one costing 15,000 Dragons up front and taking a salary of 5,000 Dragons each year. You cannot hire multiple instances of the same person (eg you can't hire 2 Seasoned Sellswords).
Important: Sellsword characters may not hire the Seasoned Sellsword, Seasoned Captain, Dark Bodyguard, Ranger or Veteran Swordsman as their own Guild building trees have trait upgrades of this nature already.
Seasoned Sellsword: A man who has seen many battles, both on the front line and as a leader of men. Such a man is invaluable during times of war, as he understands the realities of battle and the art of commanding men to fight to the death. +1 Land Battles and Rearguard.
Seasoned Captain: A man who has seen many battles, both on the front line and as a leader of men. Such a man is invaluable during times of war, as he understands the realities of battle and the art of commanding men to fight to the death. +1 Sea Battles.
Redeemed Bandit: A man who made his living preying upon the innocent for personal gain and plunder. Eventually captured, but pardoned by an unreasonably forgiving minor Lordling. Unwilling to tempt fate twice, this former-bandit now finds employment in his old trade semi-legally by doing it on behalf of a Lord rather than in opposition to one. +1 Pillager.
Smuggler: A man with the ability to covertly move goods from A to B is very valuable if you're under siege. 50% chance that a castle can hold out for 24 hours longer, 25% chance he fails, 25% chance he is killed in the attempt.
Ranger: A man attuned to nature, trained and keenly skilled as a huntsman, stalker and survivalist, a Ranger is capable of tracking your enemy with great skill and deploying his understanding of tracking to help cover your own tracks. +1 Scout and Pathfinder.
Wagonmaster: Lords often laugh at someone who tells them wars are won by the side with the best logistics, but not all. Experienced, professional wagonmasters make an army move like clockwork, with supplies always ready to move and camps going up and down in record time. +1 Logistician.
Dark Bodyguard: Being seen with plenty Knights about you makes you look secure, but you aren't really. Assassins can see those Knights too and know how to avoid them. Someone not in armour, but still making it their business to protect you from the shadows, might see people the Knights don't. +1 Survival.
Veteran Swordsman: What better way to stay at the top of your game than to have someone paid to spar with you? A veteran swordsman is a man whose lifetime has been spent with a sword, who knows every move and counter-move, and he can teach them all to you. +1 Duel.
Prime Stallion: The very best horses aren't easy to find and aren't cheap to maintain if they're to stay the best. Making room in your budget to always have the best horse money can buy available is a wise move for any Knight. +1 Joust.
Middle-man: Assassinations are dangerous, especially to politicians, and aren't all Lords politicians? Cultivating middle-men with some deniability on your part is a must-do if underhandedness is in your toolbox. +1 Assassin.
Counter Spy: Spies work by infiltrating your keep, your social circle, your retinue. You don't know every single knight, cook, maid, man-at-arms and hanger-on by heart, do you? Someone whose job it is to keep tabs on everyone privy to your business probably would, though. +2 Counter Spy.
Unassuming idiot: That guy over there can't possibly be of interest, can he? He clearly looks like the village fool. Good, that's how he's supposed to look: no one ever suspects the idiot... +3 to escape rolls.
Headhunter: He's good with faces and has a keen eye for them. If you need someone seized against their will, having someone who can pick them out even in a crowded tavern full of screaming people just after you bust down the door is a good investment. +2 Capture.
Merchant: Greedy and amoral, merchants. Excellent with money, though! +3 Wealth.
Orator: He was once a playwrite, spent time in a famous acting troupe in King's Landing, and co-wrote some play that was all the rage in the Free Cities. A man whose profession is to charm and entertain has uses beyond keeping your retinue regailed with tales of heroism and bravery, he's also very useful at teaching you how to come across more convincingly. +1 Charisma.
Mystic: A fortune teller, some say; a professional con artist that has somehow duped a Lord into paying a sizeable salary for nonsense, say others. No matter your opinion, it is hard to deny that this mystic can either see the future or has a good eye for assessing the odds and suggesting the likely outcome... +2 Fate.
Siege Engineer: A man who has studied the art of siege warfare. He allows his employer to construct advanced siege equipment and build siege weapons.
Middle man: This man serves as the go between between you and your spies protecting your identity. +1 Spy trait
Buildings
These are structures created in your character's home province that grant improvements to the province itself.
Buildings Rules
- To build a Tier II building, you must have its Tier I equivalent. Same for Tier III needing the Tier II equivalent and Tier IV needing the Tier III equivalent. Certain buildings are unlocked without having a specific lower tier, and you may only build one Tier IV building: select wisely.
- You may only start building something on Tiers II, III and IV once the previous Tier building is finished. You cannot build a Tier II and Tier III building at the same time, for example.
- The above rule applies only to linked buildings. You can build a Tier II Market and a Tier III Dockyard at the same time (assuming you have the previous tiers already), but not a Tier II and III Market at the same time.
- Unless stated otherwise bonuses stack up. Eg for the Siege Defence buildings, Tier I grants +1, Tier II is overall +2, Tier III +4, Tier IV +6.
- You may have up to 3 buildings under construction at any one time, following the above rules.
- References to +income% refer to an increase in base Land Income only: a 70,000 Dragons province building a +10% income building (such as the Market Square), will grant an income increase of 7,000 Dragons.
--- Adding additional +income% buildings similarly increases from base income only. Building both a Market Square and a Dockyard will grant +20% (eg, 14,000 for a 70,000 province for 84,000 Dragons total), not +21% (eg 14,700 for 84,700).
Independent Holdfasts
An independent holdfast may be constructed anywhere in Westeros and granted to a character or made an AI vassal. They will act as minor castles within the siege rules.

Building these Holdfasts will not reduce the province income they're built in.

Tier Four
You may only have one Tier Four building per province.
Cost: 150,000 Dragons
Build time: 1 week
Fortress Complex
Bonuses: +200% Garrison size, +3 Siege Defence, +1 year holdout time, adds a third layer of defences that must be stormed before the fortress falls.
Drawbacks: Requires a points value equal to your province levy points value to defend, otherwise -8 to siege defence rolls for the defenders and loss of the third layer of defences bonus.
Turn your keep and the lands surrounding it into a purpose-built labyrinth of defensive works, presenting a mammoth task to any besieging army. Far more than just a single castle, a fortress complex is a whole series of interlinked and mutually supporting strongpoints, presenting a major challenge in actually laying effective siege lines and meaning the capture of even large portions of the complex will allow the defenders to continue effective resistance. The downside of such revolutionary defensive works is that they require very large garrisons in order to be effective.
Army Barracks
Bonuses: +4,000 land professional points cap, 10% cheaper hiring and maintenance of professional soldiers.
Drawbacks: You cannot maintain a land militia or land levy any more.
Cease to require that small landholders and knightly houses maintain the ability to equip a certain number of feudal levies for war on command and instead tax them directly, channelling the funding into establishing a larger contingent of standing troops under your direct command. Through this method a Lord will gain the ability to support more of his own forces at the expense of having his vassal houses unable to afford to procure feudal levies on command.
Militia Network
Bonuses: +2,000 Land Militia, if your home is besieged, 250 Heavy Infantry, 500 Archers and 500 Light Infantry appear as additions to your garrison.
Drawbacks: -10% province income.
Create a militia obligation that requires all smallfolk to maintain proficiency with a weapon through regular practice, allowing for a larger semi-professional militia to be summoned for wartime. Reduced economic activity resulting from this time being spent on training, however, results in less reaching you in taxation.
Military Dockyard
Bonuses: +3,000 naval professional points cap, 10% cheaper hiring and maintenance of professional ships, +50% ship speed.
Drawbacks: Can no longer maintain a land militia.
Fully commit the resources of your province to maintaining a fleet by disbanding all land-based local militias and requiring that those men conduct their service within the naval militia instead and retooling local industries to fully support the construction of warships. Your province will become a centre for naval industries and shipbuilding, producing more ships of superior quality and creating the facilities needed to maintain them effectively.
Center of Trade
Bonus: +40,000 Dragons income
Drawbacks: -2,500 professional points cap (land and naval). +10 to enemy spy and +5 to enemy assassin rolls against you.
Turn your province into a central node in the trade lanes, building large markets and offering generous incentives for the merchant guilds to set up shop in your lands. Due to the very lucrative pay being a caravan guard offers, however, the Lord's own standing forces are much reduced as the manpower goes elsewhere, seeking better coin. The vastly increased transient population also makes infiltration much easier for foreign agents.
Edicts and Other Items
Edicts grant temporary bonuses to players that purchase them for their characters and provinces
Edicts
An 'Edict' is a temporary effect that players may purchase for their characters or provinces. Edicts only last for one RL week unless specified otherwise. If a player wishes for their chosen edicts to last longer, they must buy them again. It is possible to simply re-buy the edicts you want every week and therefore never lose their bonuses, but you must pay for them every week to do this.
