Jerald stood in the snow staring at the faded wooden sign that simply read “Warm

Hearts.” The building it hung on was a one floor longhouse built on stilts to keep it off

the snow pack, similar to all the other houses in this cold northern town. As Jerald stood

there he was suddenly struck with the thought that this was all a wild goose chase and

that the villagers had sent him all the way out here just to laugh when he returns empty-

handed. But he had come this far, so it was too late and he was tired of spending all

night shivering, so with a feeling that he was being made a fool, he stepped forward and

opened the door. As Jerald stepped in he was hit by a blast of warm air; the inside of this

lodge was as warm as a summer day back home in the south. As his eyes adjusted to the

dimmer light of the longhouse he could see that the room was full of many metal bowls of

all shapes and sizes. Some of these bowls rested on tables while others where perched on

stilts or hung from the ceiling. Many of them glowed dimly with what appeared to Jerald

to be the embers of a fire.

As Jerald looked around in astonishment he didn’t notice a man enter from the door in

the back of the show room until the man stood a few feet from Jerald. When Jerald

noticed the man he jumped, startled and taken with his appearance. The man was tall

and slender, a striking contrast to the short stocky northerners Jerald had met in town.

Also in contrast to the men in town, this man was not dressed in heavy furs and wools but

instead wore sturdy brown sack cloth britches and a patchwork light tunic made of

patches of red, yellow, and orange hues. The man smiled a broad friendly smile,

something Jerald had not seen since he arrived up north. This put Jerald at ease with the

man. When the man notices this he began to talk in slow relaxed tones, “Hello, friend,

and welcome to Warm Hearts, a shop for all your brazier and heat needs.”

Jerald slowly looked around again at the bowls and slowly repeated “Bray-zers.”

Introduction

Hello, and welcome reader, to Curious

Items: Braziers the first in a series of

In This Book

As mentioned in the above introduction,

this book has three goals. In order to

reach these goals we have concentrated

this book on the expansion of braziers as

magic items.

books produced by Healing Fireball

Publications to expand on what we view

as underutilized magic item types. For

any game master that has ever heard his

players say things like “not another X,”

“Now we can all have one” or “I bet

that’s X,” this book series is for you.

Braziers for All Your Daily Needs

This first chapter is dedicated to

describing various types of mundane

braziers. The purpose of this chapter is

to give game masters and players a

collection of different brazier types that

can be used to add atmosphere to your

game world.

With this book we hope to give players

and game masters three things. The first

goal of this book is to offer game

masters and players a number of magical

and non-magical items to add to

their game and use in their adventures.

Second, we hope that by expanding on

underused types of magic items we can

help add some wonder to your game as

players try to discover why the villain

tried to desperately light the brazier

behind his throne as the players closed in

or as they discover a brazier in a treasure

hoard. Finally, we hope to give you a

fully detailed set piece, in this case the

“Warm Hearts” shop complete with the

shop owner, which you can drop whole

into your fantasy world.

Braziers for Society and Show

This second chapter offers a collection

of alchemically treated braziers that have

special abilities that may be useful to

game masters and players.

Braziers of Unique and Rare Quality

This chapter is dedicated to the magical

braziers and their stories. This is the

core of the product and contains a

plethora of new and unusual magic

braziers for use in your game.

Wood and Coal

This chapter is dedicated to fuels both

mundane and magical to feed your

brazier.

So, in conclusion, we hope that this

product is useful to your game and

makes your world a livelier place.

Warm Hearts Shop

This chapter describes the Warm Hearts

brazier shop and its peculiar shop

keeper. The information in this chapter

should allow a game master to drop this

shop into a suitable environment in your

game world.

Braziers for All Your Daily Needs

Sensing Jerald’s confusion, the brightly dressed man smiled and said, “How rude of me I

have not introduced myself. My name is Simon Calor. I can see you are not familiar

with my wares so allow me to explain. A brazier is a pan or bowl used to hold embers to

provide heat and a soft light. They come in a myriad of shapes and sizes for all different

uses. Allow me to show you some of my fine product line.”

Jerald, feeling comfortable and warm for the first time in weeks, just nodded in

approval and followed the man as he led him through the shop.

Normal Braziers

All braziers consist of a pan that holds

burning embers. These embers provide

heat for a 20 foot radius around the pan.

The embers also produce a soft light, the

strength of which is dependant on the

fuel used to produce the embers in the

pan

Table/Travel Brazier: With a pan

similar to the traditional brazier, the

main difference between the table/travel

brazier and the traditional brazier is that

the table/travel brazier has legs of only

about 3 inches, or just long enough to

keep the pan from

touching the

ground or table it is

placed on.

Normal braziers are regular equipment

that can be constructed by anyone with

the appropriate smith or metalworking

skill. They are usually available for

purchase in colder areas at general stores

or the appropriate smith’s shop.

Cost: Bronze 5 gp., Silver 15 gp., Gold

31 gp. Weight 5 lb.

Hanging Brazier: Consists of a 15 inch

pan made of bronze, silver or gold and

suspended from chains. These braziers

are designed to be hung from the rafters

and still hang low enough to heat a

room.

Traditional Brazier:

Standing about 2½

feet, or roughly waist

high, the shallow pan

of the traditional

brazier is supported

by three or four legs.

The pan, which is

usually made of a

metal such as bronze, silver or gold, can

be of any shape but is usually round.

The pan of a traditional brazier is about

15 inches in diameter.

Cost: Bronze 7 gp., Silver 19 gp.,

Gold 36 gp. Weight 4 lb.

Cost: Bronze 10 gp., Silver 22 gp.,

Gold 45 gp. Weight 9 lb.
