Renaissance Equipment
The Renaissance brought with it many new ideas not just socially, but militarily also. Gunpowder moved from low scale use to large scale use, with musketeers and armoured cavalry. There are many different types of early firearms, some of which will be detailed here, and distinctions will be made between Renaissance weaponary and Age of Enlightenment weaponary.
This section will contain miscellaneous equipment for ravenloft that doesn't fit under the banner of weapons or armour. This is everything from adventuring equipment to renaissance vehicles, real and imaginary (inspired by Leonardo da Vinci). Many of the items are included for atmosphere more than for mechanical value.
