The Trading Post
The Trading Post offer warbands special equipment apart from that in their faction entry, and can be visited during the Manage Warbands step of the Aftermath Squence. The items are available to all factions, and can be purchased freely by both HENCHMEN and HEROES (although a fighter can only equip one of each item.).

- To find a rare item, you must make a Rarity roll: first select a
heroand declare what rare item they are looking for, and then roll a d6. - On a 6+, the
Herohas successfully found the item and may buy it for the listed gold cost. If the item is listed as Single Use, roll a d3 to see how many items are available. - You may send additional
heroesto assist looking for the item. For eachherobeyond the first, you may add 1 to the dice roll. - A
herocan look for, or assist in looking for one rare item per Aftermath Sequence. - A roll of 1 always results in a failure.
Single-Use Items
Some items, such as drugs and poisons, are listed as 'Single-Use'. Each item states when it can be used and its effects resolved, after which it is discarded and removed from your warband roster.
