ON THE COVER

Matt Morrow illustrates a bustling halfling market, complete with
produce stands and a local entertainer. Merchants bring wares
from miles around to this cozy forest glade, to trade with locals
and visiting adventurers alike.

Version 1.2

Disclaimer: When making a purchase, always read the fine print. Like you’re doing now! Good on you. Since you took the time to look, you should be aware that all sales are final, and any curses that may or may not
accompany certain magic items are considered a complimentary addition to your purchase. After buying an ominous magical item, fully expect the merchant to have vanished on second glance, taking their stall and wares
along with them to some uncertain outer plane. Feel free to interpret such occurrences as dire portents; or don’t! It’s your money, after all, and the customer is always right.

legendary merchants, roll again on the legendary merchants

A staple of civilization, some theorize that alcohol
is what motivated early societies to pursue large-scale
agriculture. Merchants that deal in alcohol and other
beverages continue this proud tradition, crafting person-

Sometimes, merchants with this specialty do not or
cannot offer certain items due to geography, availabil-

Animals

Sweeping up straw and other leavings, a male forest
gnome tends to the cleanliness of a musty stable.
Though a casual onlooker would never guess, the
gnome holds a calm confidence that his horses are of
the highest caliber.
Cages and crates punctured with small holes line a
wood elf’s stand on a busy market street. An impos-
ing hawk on his arm, passers-by can barely hear the
soft cheeping of hawk chicks over the roar of the
marketplace.
Animal merchants specialize in selling mounts and
companions from near and far. Merchants of this
specialty often stick within a theme with the animals
they sell, such as: tiny pets, livestock, wild beasts, avians,
mounts, or similar. No merchants aside from those of
atrocious quality are willing to sell a dead animal.
Untamed Animals. Sold animals are usually tame,
but may not be, if marked otherwise. Untamed animals
may require Animal Handling checks to interact with
them favorably, usually with a DC of 10 or 15 depending
on the task demanded of them.

Taming the Untamed

An untamed creature will always be feral, but over time (and
with your DM’s permission) can learn to trust its owner and its
owner’s allies.
To tame an untamed creature, you must take a short or long
rest in its company once each day, making a Wisdom (Animal
Handling) check at the end of that rest. The initial DC for this
check is 20, and the DC for each subsequent check is 20 – half
the number of successful checks you’ve made + the number of
consecutive days you’ve gone without making this check (maxi-
mum 10). Placing the creature under the animal friendship spell
does not decrease this DC, but instead grants you advantage on
the check due to the charmed condition.
Once the DC for this check is below 10, the creature is
considered tamed, and regards you as a trusted friend. At this
point, it is no longer necessary to make this check, though
intentional mistreatment of the creature may (at your DM’s
discretion) once again cause this check to become necessary.

With maps rolled and scrolled bristling from her
backpack, a half-elf smiles cheerfully as she waves
down travelers. One of the best cartographers in
the land, she strides forward full of confidence,
knowing that no matter where they are headed, anyone
passing this busy crossroad could use one of her maps.
Not all books are magical, and indeed most are
not. Books are always valuable, however, signifying a
substantial amount of effort on the part of authors and
transcribers across multiple ages. The same holds
true for maps, and both are effective tools to ensure
that the vital knowledge and stories of the past are
never forgotten.
Some merchants with this specialty distribute maps
or books exclusively, though many dabble in both. Often,
these merchants are authors, cartographers, scribes or
transcribers themselves, and turn to selling their wares
p ersonally as a method of building reputation and fame
within their craft.
The prices listed here assume the merchant exists in
a world where wide-spread use of such technologies as
the printing press and movable type do not exist. Should
the merchant and others have access to a printing press,
your DM may decide to reduce the prices of applicable
items (such as books or maps) by 25%, signifying the
relative ease of use of these technologies, and their
impact on production and distribution. Your DM may
also decide that newspapers cannot exist in settings
without a printing press or equivalent technology, and
thus cannot be for sale.
Books. Some books pertain to specific topics, such as
herbalism, heraldry, theology, or armor making. When
making a check to recount knowledge on a topic a book
in your possession holds, you can choose to take one

Dragon Lily. These beautiful lilies grow in the slow

consume any impurities within once before fully dying,
rendering the water safe to drink.
Phoenixbloom. Burning softly and emitting a gentle
fragrance like incense, phoenixbloom flowers burn

through an attack or by failing a Dexterity saving throw
when walking through a grove of phoenixbloom, takes

Merchants of this specialty often either make their
food themselves, or sell food prepared by another
chef in their employ. Highly likely to further special-
ize in making specific types or cultures of food, these
merchants, when good quality or higher, tend to perceive
their craft as an art form. As such, if the merchant is of a
high enough quality, they are reticent to sell meals infe-
rior to the best that they can make, and typically refuse
to sell all but the rarest animal byproducts.

Furniture and Interior Decor

A high elf sits in front of a canvas, pondering, paint
brush resting on her lower lip. Inspiration strikes and
she raises the brush, applying paint to canvas, sculpting
a pastoral scene in the Feywild to add to the staggering
collection of art adorning the walls of her shop.
In a black, tight-fitted tunic and wearing eccentric
a ngular glasses, a mustachioed gnome observes
the space before him. It takes him but a moment to
conclude as to what this area needs to make it whole
and vibrant. Now, he thinks, to sell its owners on the
idea of an indoor fountain.
Artists, designers, and art-sellers, these merchants
are often artisans of their given trade. Each work that
passes through their hands is personal, in a way, and
these merchants would be more than happy to inform
buyers of the history and work that goes into what
they’re buying.
Merchants in this specialty often (but not always) sell
one particular type of item, such as paintings, wood
furniture, or similar.

A Small World After All

Most of the objects here are sized for Medium creatures such
as elves or humans, and are not comfortably made for Small
creatures like gnomes or halflings.
If you want to resize a chair, bed, or similar for Small crea-
tures, reduce the object’s listed height by half.

High Fashion

Engrossed in her work, a stern halfling wearing half-
moon spectacles carefully sews two pieces of a dress
form together, her eyes squinting in the low light of her
dress shop. Around her are mannequins clothed in all
manner of finery, domestic and exotic, showing visitors
the range and scope of the halfling’s talents.
Pulling a soft rabbit-hide off the drying rack, a male
wood elf selects a shining pair of silver shears and
begins to cut the pelt down to size. As he works with
scissor, fur, needle and thread, his deft fingers gradually
form a warm winter hat, suitable for the most refined of
lords seeking to hunt or journey in the snow.
Creating and selling clothes fit for all levels of soci-
ety, merchants with this specialty usually sell most of
the items available to their quality. Merchants in this
specialty often consider themselves artisans (regard-
less of their actual skill level), however, and may
decline selling articles that they think are below them,
or that do not go along with their cultural perspective.
A haughty tiefling socialite, for example, would consid-
er the selling of commoner’s clothes to depreciate her
esteemed reputation, while a down-to-earth dwarven
hatmaker might see aristocratic finery as frivolous and
functionless.

Knick-Knacks

Toting an overstuffed backpack, a goblin walks down a
major trade route, waving down travellers, adventurers,
and other merchants. Like others of her kin, the goblin
scrounges for whatever she needs to survive. Unlike
the others, however, she often finds it preferable to use
passers-by to turn a tidy profit through honest trade,
rather than using them as a target for banditry.
Sitting on a stool amidst the heaps of junk clutter-
ing his shop, a half-orc clad in slacks and a vest waits
p atiently. He never knows just exactly what he’ll sell
to those who walk through his door, but he greats any
o pportunity to part with a piece of the detritus with an
almost disarming enthusiasm.
Merchants dealing in knick-knacks sell odd collec-
tions of goods not available elsewhere. A knick-knack
merchant can truly have anything, and might even have
several items not listed here.

Leatherworking

Pulling a smooth, wood-tipped arrow from the hide
of a fallen elk, a wood elf slicks back her hair in the
same practiced motion as she unsheathes a curved
obsidian knife. Taking great care to properly skin the
beast, she then hauls the large, steaming hide back to
her village. Travelers always appreciate the craftsman-
ship of her goods, and the gold this hide will provide,
once cured and crafted, should feed her family all
through the winter.
His hands threading a needle with expert precision,
a tiefling begins to sew ornamental strips of cut leather
onto an unfinished saddle. His shop smelling of deep,
comfortable musk from the assembled rows of finished
leather goods, the tiefling has no doubt that his current
work should be done before the end of the week.
Leatherworkers sell leather armor, bags, saddles,
and other goods to those that require them. Merchants
with this specialty sometimes only sell either clothing
and armor or containers, but most dabble in all kinds of
leathercraft.

Mechanical Contraptions

Up to her elbows in cogs and covered in grease, a rock
gnome tirelessly fiddles with the intricate metal creation
in front of her. Pulling out a key from one of her apron’s
many pockets, she winds the contraption up, before
setting it upright on the table. The hand-sized mechani-
cal dragon at once whirs, roars, and belches a gout of
flame that sets the gnome’s wooden tabletop alight. The
gnome cheers gleefully, and applauds her latest work.
Trudging along a dusty forest trail, a kobold weighed
down by several heavy hunting traps on his belt drags an
equally-heavy satchel over his back. Every step causes
clanks and clatters, but the kobold pays them no mind.
He finds a simple satisfaction in selling his work, as, in
his opinion, the world could always use more traps.
Merchants that sell mechanical contraptions are
tinkers, dabbling in the bleeding edge of clockwork
technology. These merchants are more than happy to
give (overly) detailed instructions on the proper use of
their wares.

Medium and Heavy Armor

Holding a hammer as large and heavy as his fist, a dwarf
pounds sheets of metal into protective shapes against
a pitch-black anvil. His shop only lit by the dim light of
molten slag from his forge, he nevertheless looks over
his work with a keen eye, studying it closely for any
weaknesses or imperfections.
Riding an enormous warhorse laden with heavy
saddlebags, an armored half-orc rides the trade routes
with an eye out for customers. All must learn of her
mastery of armorcraft, she thinks, and she will travel the
world until her name is held in great renown.
Merchants that deal in armor are typically blacksmiths
themselves, forging their wares and selling them off to
those that need them.
These merchants may have a specific predilection
that prohibits them from selling certain items, however.
A dwarven armor merchant, for example, would be
unlikely to sell elven chain, while an elf would be just
as unlikely to craft or sell a set of dwarven plate, each
considering the other’s craft to be the height of distaste.
Similarly, some merchants may trend more towards sell-
ing heavy armor, medium armor, or shields, but all tend
to have at least a few token offerings of goods outside
their particular focus.

Doug Kovacs Variant Merchant: Blacksmith

This merchant produces and sells only armor, but you can
choose to have it be a more generalized merchant, instead.
To make this merchant a general Blacksmith, combine the
inventory of this merchant with that of both the Tools and
the Weapons merchant (located later in this supplement),
but remove all magic items and crafting materials from this
merchant’s combined inventory. The blacksmith is similarly
unable to feature tools, weapons, or armor in its inventory that
are not made of metal.

Potions, Poisons, and Herbs

Grinding together her mortar and pestle, a halfling
r educes a handful of herbs to powder. As her cauldron
begins to boil, smoke pours out the smokestack of her
underhill shop, a sign to her loyal customers that new
p otions are brewing.
Dressed in a grey cloak with a bandolier of potions
about his waist, a half-elf occupies a corner at a roadside
inn, fiddling with an alembic set up on a stone table. The
townsfolk know to find him here, and direct adventurous
travelers to seek his services.
Naturalists or alchemists, these merchants sell
potions, poisons, and the supplies to brew them.
Merchants of this trade are likely to further specialize,
as many are especially adept at brewing poisons, while
others have ethical qualms about creating them.

Religious Idols and Blessings

A tiefling with short horns and a modest robe lights a
handful of incense in a ceremonial brazier. As she tends
to her ritual duties in service to her god, she routinely
checks on visiting parishioners, making sure their needs
are met. The acolytes of her temple are more than
happy to share what they have with pilgrims, asking only
a modest donation in return.
Rapier slung at her side, a cheerful gnome paladin
travels between distant cities, dispensing justice and
doing good deeds all along the way. Always overjoyed to
meet fellow travelers, she sells supplies sacred to her
goddess of journeys, making sure no wanderer goes
u nprotected.
Almost always practicing clergy members (or huck-
sters pretending at being such), these merchants bolster
their respective faiths by dispensing holy wares to those
in need. Most items listed here are sold by all merchants
with this specialty and the appropriate quality, though
merchants of different faiths offer markedly different-
looking wares. For example, a candle sold by a priest of
Pelor would look different in obvious ways from a candle
sold by an (undoubtedly secret) adherent of Vecna.

Variant Merchant: Occultist

Rather than a practitioner of faith, you can instead make this

To make an Occultist merchant, remove all spells and magic
items from this merchant’s inventory, and add the spell, ritual,
and protection scrolls (of the appropriate quality) from the Spell
Scrolls and Tomes merchant, located later in this supplement.

Songs and Instruments

Boxes of whittled wooden instruments at his feet, a
brightly-clothed half-orc plays proudly on his bagpipes
in the center of a crowded market. Though he knows
his business isn’t presently booming, he takes comfort
that, at the very least, none in the market can possi-
bly ignore him.
Sitting in a surprisingly cheerful store, a graceful drow
carefully strings a lyre with treated spider silk. Though
the silk no longer adheres forcefully to what it touches,
it is no less durable, making it ideal for its p urpose. The
drow slowly plucks the lyre’s new strings, filling her
shop with a beautiful, mournful tune.
Whether they are bards or craftspersons, merchants
of this specialty deal in musical instruments and written
songs for musicians. Some of these merchants special-
ize in selling one particular type of family of instruments
or genre of written song, usually one of cultural signifi-
cance to the merchant and their people.

to each other.
Selling magical spells is not for the faint of heart,
but merchants with this specialty make it a way of life.
The tomes and scrolls sold by these merchants each
contain certain spells, and a merchant with this special-
ty rarely has more than one tome or scroll that casts
the same spell.
When determining this merchant’s item availability,
this merchant can have multiple spells or scrolls of the
same level or type.
Spell Scrolls. Each of these scrolls contains a
specific spell. If that spell is on your class’s spell list,
you can use an action to attempt to cast the spell. This
requires a check if the spell is of a greater level than
you can normally cast. Succeed or fail, the scroll is
then destroyed.
Wizard spells on spell scrolls can also be copied
into spellbooks by characters capable of doing so, but
require a check to be copied successfully after the
normal expenditure of time and materials. Same as cast-
ing a spell with the scroll, succeed or fail, the spell scroll
is then destroyed.

Tat t o o s

With deftness in every inch of her gnarled, stubby
fingers, a dwarf with one eye and a scar running down
her cheek carefully heats a sharp iron needle in a candle
flame. Before her are waiting wells of ink, and a fresh-
faced male human lying face down, shirtless, expectant,
and nervous, upon a weathered wooden table.
Scrawling a simple floral design in a sketchbook, a
young elf takes time to emphasize its long, stylized, flow-
ing lines. Gently closing the book, the elf shelves it in an
outer pocket of a pack they are wearing, causing a slight
rattle of metal and glass from within. The elf wonders if
any will partake of their artistic services in the next town
they venture to, and what canvases will await their craft.
Often a practice of great cultural or religious signifi-
cance, tattooing is also an art form and a method of self
expression. Those that take on tattoos wear their art
proudly, likely for their entire lives, a testament to their
individuality and their artist’s skill.
Most tattoo merchants have one or several styles
that they can create art in, many of which have roots
in cultures or subcultures important to your setting.
Consider who an artist is, where they come from, and
how these things might influence their style.
Magical Tattoos and Removal. Some tattoos created
by this merchant are magical, and are applied directly
to a recipient rather than sold as an item, contrary
to some of their descriptions. Similar to merchants
that cast spells, a tattoo merchant can use magic up
to three times each day to remove a tattoo or create a
magical tattoo.

Thieving Supplies

Standing grey as dusk against the dim light at the end
of a back alley, a cloaked human awaits approaching
buyers. She trusts her contacts on the street to bring
those interested to her, and, so far, that trust has yet to
fail her. Hearing a knocking in thieves’ cant reverberate
from the mouth of the alley, she knocks out the counter-
sign, and unrolls her bundle of wares onto the ground.
A halfling with an eyepatch hums to himself as he
sets up his wares on the walls of the inside of an open
wine barrel in the back of a bar. Satisfied at the items’
arrangement, he takes a seat nearby, pulling a hidden
lever. Groaning, the wine barrel mechanically closes its
front, appearing whole to the untrained eye. The halfling
sips a cup of tea, and awaits customers.
Though their business may not (necessarily) be
illegal, these merchants work tirelessly to enable
criminals, spies, and assassins. Merchants with this
specialty (most often) do not attempt to directly swindle
customers unless the merchant is of atrocious quality.
All merchants value repeat buyers, thieving supplies
merchants being no exception, and any merchant knows
the surest way to make enemies and lose business is to
cheat those who will likely have even more coin for you
to earn in the future.

To o l s

Slouched over a wooden countertop, a lanky wood elf
stands in front of rows upon rows of tools, each hanging
from a special set of pegs on the wall behind him. The
shop smells comfortably of fresh cut lumber. The wood
elf yawns, waiting for customers to arrive.
A female dwarf, pack mule and wagon in tow, strides
casually into town, a pickaxe and shovel over each shoul-
der, a lit lantern resting near the head of the pick. The
l aborers of this hamlet sent out a request for more tools
a week back, and the dwarf responded, always ready
to earn coin.
Craftspeople or mere traders, merchants of this
s pecialty sell tools for all professions along their trade
routes. Merchants that sell tools may choose to deal in
exclusively tools appropriate for their environment, but
many are generalists, crafting tools of every type for
any occasion.

Variant Merchant: Blacksmith

This merchant creates and sells tools of all kinds, but you can
choose to have it be a more generalized merchant, instead.
To make this merchant a general Blacksmith, combine the
inventory of this merchant with that of both the Medium and
Heavy Armor merchant and the Weapons merchant (located
later in this supplement), but remove all magic items and
crafting materials from this merchant’s combined inventory.
The blacksmith is similarly unable to feature tools, weapons, or
armor in its inventory that are not made of metal.

Sitting at a table in a dimly-lit wagonhouse, a dwarf with
a beard full of sawdust waits patiently for customers to
trail in. The smells of horses, hay, and fresh-cut wood
waft through his shop, full of carriages and carts, both
humble and ornately gilded.
The crashing of waves and the squawking of gulls
p eriodically interrupted by the percussive strikes of his
hammer, a half-elf in an airy, billowing shirt pounds nails
through planks, securing together the hull of a mighty
ship. When completed, this vessel will be one of the
fleetest to ever sail the seas, a fact the half-elf relent-
lessly informs any that will listen.
Craftspersons who specialize in transportation, these
merchants churn out boats and wheeled vehicles to keep
the world in motion. Many of these merchants also offer
courier services and transportation for hire, and keep a
small staff of hirelings to aid with these endeavors. Vehi-
cle and transportation merchants are also very likely to
further specialize, and may eschew selling wagons and
horses entirely in favor of shipcraft, or dedicate them-
selves entirely to land or even air transportation, espe-
cially if there are no large bodies of water nearby.

Variant Merchant: Explorer

While this merchant is focused on transportation, it mostly
depicts an individual that operates within society, rather than on
its outskirts.
If you wish to make this merchant an Explorer instead,
remove everything from its inventory but one of the following
options: methods of air travel, methods of sea travel, or meth-
ods of land travel (and accessories such as saddles and animal
feed). Then, add maps, charts, map-making tools, and similar
of appropriate quality from the Books and Maps merchant.

Fighters or forgemasters, merchants of this specialty
sell weapons of great offensive power. Some of these
merchants seek to profit from the necessities of war,
while others are idealists, promoting peace through
protection. Still others are retired adventurers, knowing
the hardships and threats that exist in the wider world
all too well, and providing reliable protection against
the dangers other adventurers may encounter. Some
weapon merchants further specialize, focusing on a
particular type of weaponry such as bows or axes.
