Where are all those fancy items (e.g. traps, bombs, etc.)?

Hey there,

 

I have looked up the player hamdbook und the DMG for all those fancy items we know from 3.5E and it seemed that there aren't any that are worth it spending gold for them. Poisons, alchemist fire, holy water, etc. are extremly expensive and seem to give only little use in exchange. And where are the rogue traps?

 

Is there really only that one hunting trap? Have I overseen something? Does there exist any side content?

 

As I am planning to go for Rogue (Thief), which could use all that amazing stuff, I would be really happy about some answers/help.

 

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Caltrops and ball barrings are "traps" anyone can use.

All I can tell you is: have patience. The game is only on its initial release products. There will be more content, over time; just as with older editions. That content may have to be 3rd party provided; but, it will be available, in some form, at some point.

 

You might want to see what is available in the official adventures already, as far as what hazards/traps have been used in them.

No Christmas tree list please

It's not 3.5 or PF. It can cope w/o an item for every occassion......I don't won't to see alkali flasks, smoke goggles, dark lanterns, insect nets et al

 

Look in dmg to see what traps can do and have your rogue invent and build your own
