Monster Manual Gear line in stat block

2024 Monster Manual

I don't think this should be a feature request since this entry should've been there since the beginning. Look at assassin on page 22. You will see an entry called Gear. I'm just wondering when you'll be adding that entry to the creature's stat block.

Also, Gear is defined on page 7. Here's the last paragraph:

"Equipment mentioned outside the Gear entry is considered to be supernatural or highly specialized, and it is unusable when the monster is defeated."

This means any creature without a Gear entry in FGU is considered to be unusable when the monster is defeated. So, according to this, the armor and weapons the assassin has is unusable.

+1 to this.

I agree. I was surprised that Gear was omitted from the 2024 stat block update. It should be a field along with Skills, Resistances, etc. as it is displayed in the official stat block (63979).

Including the functionality of being able to link the item records would make this a fantastic upgrade! Having this field buried on the Notes tab seems like an odd choice.

It isn't buried in the notes tab. The treasure box is an entirely different thing than gear.

Adding the gear to an NPC (other than just providing a text list of it) would require a bit of codework, and would require some thought as to how it would impact existing (i.e non 2024) NPCs in other modules. So it may be something that we see in the future.

I wasn't thinking of the codework involved. I was just thinking of the list only. Suggestion: Add the Gear as a list for now, and automate the coding later when you have time. Then the list will be there for a reference.

It will be added to the beta Test channel this weekend as a text only field.
