Gundr Oblerthar and his children Jemninda and Gallorn sell weapons and armaments out of this shop. They are not smiths themselves; instead, they are the brokers for a variety of shield dwarvens guildcrafters in and around Waterdeep. The Oblerthar family (including Gundr's dear wife Dael) live in the apartments above the shop, and they let the other two floors of rooms above that.

Armor

Oblerthar's sells the following weapon types from the Player's Handbook, with the noted fitting and alteration time necessary:

• Light Armor (1 hour): Studded leather (45gp)
• Medium Armor (1 day): Chain shirt (50gp), scale mail (50gp), breastplate (400gp), half plate (750gp)
• Heavy Armor (2 days): Ring mail (30gp), chain mail (75gp), splint (200gp), plate (1500gp)
• Shields (none): Buckler (5gp), shield (10gp), tower shield (30gp)

Details on the new shields are as follows:

Item	Type	Cost	Armor Class	Strength	Stealth	Weight	Days to Fit
Buckler	Shield	5 gp	+1	–	–	4 lb	–
Tower Shield	Shield	30 gp	+3	Str 13	Disadvantage	40 lb	–

• Buckler: This small shield is fitted around the arm and made of metal, wood, or boiled leather. It takes the same time to don and doff as a normal shield (1 action) and a character cannot benefit from a buckler and any other type of shield at the same time. Unlike a shield, a character can still use the hand in which the buckler is equipped. If during a character's turn they use an item with this hand, attack with a weapon in this hand, or attack with a two-handed weapon, then the character does not gain the buckler's bonus to AC until the start of their next turn.
  • Attacking with a one-handed weapon or thrown weapon using the buckler hand causes disadvantage on the attack roll. The hand wielding the buckler does not count as a free hand for the purposes of spellcasting, grappling, or unarmed attacks.
  • A character proficient with shields is also considered proficient with bucklers. A buckler does not benefit from the rules or abilities that specifically refer to shields, such as the Protection Fighting Style or the Shield Master feat.
• Tower Shield: A huge metal-reinforced shield nearly as tall as its wielder. Donning and doffing the tower shield takes 1 action. A character cannot benefit from a tower shield and any other type of shield at the same time.
  • While a tower shield is equipped, its bearer takes disadvantage on all attack rolls due to the off-balancing encumbrance of the shield, unless the weapon has the Light property. A character proficient with both shields and heavy armor is assumed to be proficient with tower shields. All other rules that affect shields still apply to tower shields.

• Simple Ranged: light crossbow (25gp)
