The Midnight Mauler boon question

[TeaMinion]

Hello! I never got around to using my boon from Midnight Mauler and I'm trying to decide on what to get. The boon allows for a free purchase of one nonmagical item up to 400 gp.

Averted Mauling::

By saving the half-elf Markov Rutowski in Ardis, you gain a political favor you can trade while in Ustalev. Within the Immortal Principality, you may trade this political favor for any nonmagical item worth up to 400 gp, including but not limited to masterwork weapons and armor, courtier clothing, and jewelry.

My question is, can I use this boon to purchase a

Chirurgeon's Bag:

This sturdy leather case straps to the waist or thigh, or can be slung over a shoulder. It consists of a leather pouch, a healer's kit, a bottle of strong brandy, a potion of cure light wounds, a vial of smelling salts, and 2 doses each of alchemist's kindness, antiplague, antitoxin, bloodblock, and soothe syrup.

I mean, it only has a little bit of magic.

I'd allow it, but it seems like a judgement call.

It seems to me that the boon was worded that way to prevent people from going out and getting something like a free 3rd level scroll. My husband, on the other hand, seems convinced that if detect magic would register magic, then it would not be allowed.

By RAW it includes a magic item (the potion) so it's not allowed. Sorry, but that's how I read it.

Also there's the line about a 'one' nonmagical item. What you're guying is a bag of items. That might be dicey too depending on the judge.

My advice is to let it go and pick something else to be safe.

Just use it to buy a 8 lb. gold brick worth 400 gp then use that to purchase the Chirurgeon's bag. ;)

Haha. If only I wouldn't have to sell it back for half price.

I guess I'll play it safe and pick up a masterwork light crossbow. I could just buy the bag anyway. (Though it's a lot more fun to get things for free.)

Actually technically gold is a trade good an thus sells back at full price,

Except for the ruling by Mike Brock that stops anything you get for free from being sold for money.
