Cost of a wooden stool?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

Pretty random...

Looking for the gp cost of a 3-legged wooden stool for a small creature. This is for PFS, if it matters.


Utterly neglibigle. One copper at best.


3 legged?

The cost of 3 clubs.


Made out of what sort of wood, where in the world, by whom, how well, how long ago and how precious is it to anyone?

and a buckler - potentially very uncomfortable otherwise...

I would ballpark it at 2-4sp, the price of a ladder or collapsible plank.
But, technically if it is PFS I think you are out of luck. If it doesn't exist in a rule book somewhere you can't buy it.
Buy it anyway and If a GM says you can't have it without the source, just leave it at home that day. you'll be out a negligible amount of silver.

So there really isn't a book with furniture rules? Kinda figured there would be one.

We are murder hobos without homes.

I am more surprised you want furniture.

Stools aren't very heavy and can be quite nice to have when camping. Also good for reaching higher things and can be an improvised weapon/shield.

For "murder hobos" stools are the equivalent of folding chairs for modern campers. Civilized adventurers should have stools if they intend any outdoor camping.

So, side note, if I've got a PC that specializes in improvised weapons, how do I acquire them in PFS? Or is the idea that I have to exclusively use objects found during that session?

I can't imagine any Gm would begrudge you carrying a stool around to whack people with.

I agree, doesn't sound like an issue, I'm just trying to figure out the cost (and weight).

On a side note, also trying to figure out the cost (and weight) for Rocks and fresh berries, for magic stone and goodberry respectively. Their not "Materials" for the spell, so I can't bypass the need for them.

That is why you have party members. Halflings replace foot stools, and half orcs replace ladders.

That's part of the issue. I'm playing halfling, so I'm looking for a stool that I can use....


Craft(wood work). "Buy" a bunch of clubs and cobble them together into a "stool".

Just hang out behind a treant eating lunch and wait.

I'll show myself out...


A folding chair is a 2 gp and 10# from ultimate equipment.


What Dave said, a little extra GP, allot more comfort!

Planning on making this your weapon of choice?


"Head bashing stool style" is totally legit IMO, and is a time honored TTRPG tradition!

Throwing Anything ='s finally a use for that +1 frost returning camp stool :) Well, other than a cold backside and a stool than returns to you after you throw it in a fit of drunken rage.


Use a bucket, turn it upside down and you have a little stool.
5sp, 2lbs.

Ah...like a cleric that buys a wand of Cure Light Wounds so they don't have to spend all their spells on healbot duty.

I understand.


As close as your nearest bar or milkmaid. Just pick it up and walk away. *milk maid not included*


If it helps at all, barrels can be used as stools. In fact I have one right next to me. It's not like a whisky or wine cask, but something that's maybe 2 feet high and 1 foot diameter. Barrels are probably heavier than necessary though.

Apparently the barrel in PF that is 30 lbs can hold 75 gallons, which would be officially named a puncheon or tertian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_wine_cask_units

The approximately 1x2' barrel I have that's a sitting stool could only hold maybe 11 gallons, which is a heck of a lot less, meaning it would also weigh a lot less— maybe 10 lbs? You would probably one want that's even smaller since the barrel I have is a human-size for sitting on, and a smaller one would be even lighter. As was mentioned, a bucket might even be big enough, since for a small character, that might be a reasonable size.

So perhaps a GM would allow a proportionally smaller barrel (at the same price), or bucket since at least it's an item available for purchase.

edit:
There's also a Folding chair on another page.
"Price 2 gp; Weight 10 lbs. This simple folding chair has a wooden frame and canvas seat and back, making it easy to transport and set up wherever you wish. It folds up easily and fits in a handy carrying bag. The chair can support up to 250 pounds with ease."

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/goods-and-services/ue-more-gear-4
This page also has a lighter chair with no price, and a nice stool, but also no price. I think any GM would easily allow for 2GP, the price of a folding chair, although it would probably be a lot less than that in actuality.
The PFSRD is a valid source for PFS play, right? I don't ever recall seeing a SRD-only source before (maybe it's not the only source, but was just listed as the source)

For bonus utility, the bucket could double as a helmet, when not being used as a stool.

By RAW, would that folding chair, sized for a small character, weigh half normal?

I thought regular equipment was 1/4 weight for small characters (with only weapons and armour being 1/2 weight). Just checking and this seems correct from footnotes to the equipment lists.

On the equipment tables there are little numbers next to certain items. Folding chairs have a little 1 and at the end of the table it says that items with a 1 weigh 1/4th their weight for a small character.
