Army Gear

Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 574
When you recruit a new army, it's outfitted with basic gear. The exact nature of this gear is largely cosmetic— an infantry army armed with longswords will do the same potential amount of damage as one armed with clubs or spears or scythes. You can upgrade an army's gear by taking the Outfit Army activity.

If you outfit an army with a type of gear the army is already outfitted with, the new gear replaces the old gear; if you spent RP on the old gear, you can deduct that RP cost from the cost of the new gear.

Army Gear NameItem [Level]

Traits
Price This lists the gear's price in RP. (Gear that has multiple types includes a Price for each type instead.)
The section after the line describes the gear.
Type If multiple types of the gear exist, entries here indicate the name of each type, its level, its price, and any other relevant details or alterations from the above description.

Additional WeaponItem 1

Army Price 10 RP
Most armies have only one weapon—a melee or a ranged weapon. This gear outfits an army with an additional weapon of the other type. The army gains a melee or ranged Strike (as appropriate) at the basic modifier for their level.

Healing PotionsItem 1

ArmyConsumableHealingMagicalNecromancyPotion
Price 15 RP per dose
An army equipped with healing potions (these rules are the same if you instead supply the army with alchemical healing elixirs) can use a single dose as part of any Maneuver action. When an army uses a dose of healing potions, it regains 1 HP. An army can be outfitted with up to 3 doses of healing potions at a time; unlike ranged Strike shots, healing potion doses do not automatically replenish after a war encounter—new doses must be purchased.

You can buy this gear twice—once for melee weapons and once for ranged weapons. If you purchase a more powerful version, it replaces the previous version, and the RP cost of the more powerful version is reduced by the RP cost of the replaced weapons.

Transfering Gear

Source Kingmaker Adventure Path pg. 575
You may transfer gear from one army to another, provided the army receiving the gear is high enough level to utilize the gear in question, and provided both armies are located in the same hex. This transfer does not require an activity to perform, but it must take place during Downtime.

If an army with gear is destroyed, all of its gear is destroyed. If an army with gear is disbanded, you can transfer its gear to another army as part of the Disband Army activity; if you don't do so, the gear is lost.
