Chest — Small

Chests are reinforced wooden boxes with lids and sides that are made tight to prevent anything from getting out or into the box. The price is for a basic box, with higher-quality items having such things as integrated locks, water-resistant linings, and so on. One popular feature is a hidden compartment, a concealed space in a chest usually no more than an inch or so deep. This can be a hidden gap along one side, a false bottom, or a secret drawer on the outside of the chest. A successful roll to search for secret doors will reveal the compartment if the correct area is being searched (a false bottom will only be found by examining the inside of the chest, for example). The price listed for a hidden compartment is in addition to the cost of the chest. Stats: cost 2 gp • weight 25 lbs • volume held 2 cu ft • weight held up to 100 lbs • hardness/HP 2 / 2.
