Dungeon Delving Essentials. [2E-ish]

[Beelzebub1111]

Strictly speaking, non-magical stuff. here's what I've got on my list:

50ft silk rope
Grappling Hook
10ft chain
Crowbar
Chalk
Fishhook and Fishing line (50ft)
Block and Tackle
Crowbar
Flint and Steel
Torch
10ft Pole (how a dwarf will carry this is an issue, do they collapse or unscrew? would this affect their effectiveness?)
Large Sacks
Small Steel Mirror
Smokesticks
Cloves of Garlic

Anything else? is there a complete list of the dungeon essentials. I seem to recall a "Utility Belt" list for 3.5 edition, that would probably work for 2nd. Again, I'm looking at mostly non-magical stuff.

I do have a Hewards Handy Haversack AND a pouch of accessability.

Visit http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/...dventuringGear to see if there's any other Adventuring Gear you want to pick up. A few additions to consider:

If you're going to be in the dungeon for a while: Trail rations, Waterskin, Bedroll
You might need to write something down: Parchment, Ink, Inkpen
And don't forget one of the most fun items ever: Caltrops

I'm a cleric and have Create food and water, so rations won't be a problem.

The dungeon is Castle Greyhawk. The original one with all the gags.

Better make it 110 feet of rope and an eleven foot pole. Trust me on this.
Also, don't forget wolfsbane and holy water.

[Halae]

Gt your DM to let you have a custom magic item that casts prestidigittion a certain number of timesd per day if you are not an arcane spellcaster.

No, I'm not kidding. does anybody realize how useful this thing is? prestidigitation can color items and objects but not creatures. Never deal with mimics unwarned ever again!

oh, and on the note of the eleven foot pole - there's a 12 foot collapsible pole in dungeonscape. even better.

Also, a rubber ball and manacles are ridiculously useful.

[Volos]

Locks. Lots of locks. They can link chain together into a longer segements, hold doors closed with chain and whatnot, tie people up with chain... trust me, you need a good lock. Keeps the rogue busy if you buy a trick lock as well, keeps your pockets safe.

[Beelzebub1111]

Anything Else? I mean, I'm still not sure. There's got to be something I'm missing.

[dsmiles]

Carry some rope cut into about 5 foot sections, in case you need to tie somebody up. Also, marbles and caltrops. Lots of marbles and caltrops. Especially at low levels, these can make awesome improvised traps.

Sunrods are nice, they last alot longer than torches and provide more light

[Dragon Elite]

Oil is the non-magical grease spell. USe it with marbles, then light people on fire.

Can't fight swarms or burn away deadly gasses with a sunrod

I have never seen anyone burn away deadly gases with a torch 0.o natural gas maybe but exposing that to an open flame is generally never a good idea in the way your thinking..

And your a cleric! you can think up more interesting ways to maul swarms! or buy some other alchemical items... :P

We play second edition, it burns away couldkill. Also, a Cleric of Kord, All my spells make me fight in melee better.

[Noneoyabizzness]

You might consider adding [2E] into the title then so people know you are looking for edition specific advice

A folding stool or chair. Useful for getting a boost up, avoiding floor spikes/liquids, or sitting comfortably as your compatriots muck about on the ground.
