What it is about
This supplement has 100 descriptions for locks, that can be used to enliven doors, or perhaps chests or anything else with a lock. Some of the locks are comparatively normal; others have stranger features. Some may even be dangerous.
This PDF supports Adobe layers and the page backgrounds and images can be disabled to make printing easier.
Here are some sample results:
Ordinary-looking lock made from iron; scratches above the keyhole can be identified as a ruin signifying danger.
Padlock that has been tarnished green, but it still works perfectly.
Pockmarks cover the metal lock and its mounting plate, apparently caused from acid being sprayed on it. Some acid damaged the mechanism of the lock itself, making it barely functional.
Protective runes have been carved into the metal plate that hold the lock, each filled with silver.
Red-stained iron padlock that has been forged into the shape of a stylised heart.
One page is the front cover, one the front matter and most of one is ads.
The supplement is also available in the following versions: Pathfinder. You do not need all versions.
