Pole, Folding

• Cost: 2 sp
• Weight: 10 lbs.

A folding pole is identical to a standard 10-foot pole, except that it can be folded up for easier storage and carrying.

Poles are commonly used to probe for hidden or obscured things in nearby spaces, or to trigger location-based traps. If you vault with a pole as part of a running jump, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your Acrobatics check (but must let go of the pole in the process). A pole can also prop doors open or closed, serve as a place to hang a lantern or secure a bound foe, or be used as a lever to lift a heavy object up to 5 feet away.

When folded up, the pole takes up an area of 3.5 feet x 0.5 feet x 0.5 feet.
