"Waterskin"
Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2015 6:43 pm
This is a fairly simple and straight forward idea. It doesn't really have a major impact (or any at all really) on the game, but I was thinking it would just be a fun item to have.
A Waterskin, crafted by tailors (using leather) and it can be "used" on any drinking source to fill it up. Each one can store about 3-5 uses for drinking and can be refilled as often as needed.
I know it seems a little pointless but just bare with me. Obviously we all know that thirst goes down faster than anything else, so we all need to drink a lot. Well it can often just be a hassle having to constantly re-purchase stacks of bottles of water or walk back and forth to the closest well all the time, one might say "Why not just carry 100+ around with you", well some low str classes need to reserve as much carry weight as possible, but also inventory space.
This also adds a simple slightly more immersive function when adventuring. Adventurers will need to stop at watering holes to fill their water skins so they have a source of drinking water as they continue their journey. They can get berries and fruit for eating while they adventure so why not let them stock up on water too (granted they can just drink at the watering hole but I feel the waterskin just adds a little flare to the "Feeling of being on an adventure"). Not to mention travel provisions already act as the temporary food counterpart.
Because it would be a crafted item by tailors it wouldn't be available right off the boat for some new adventurers, it could be a thin item so pickpockets could grab it and even though I doubt the crafting ingredients could be too demanding it adds an extra little item to the game for tailors to sell and slightly more seasoned adventurers to add to their kit.
I'm not entirely sure how easy/hard it would be to make an item that could be refilled in such a manner and not be destroyed upon depletion, I only have minor knowledge of the module, but I feel it may be possible!!!
