About this model
A handheld searchlight with an olive green body, a large lens and a carry handle. It looks like military or rescue gear. It is about a foot deep and half a foot wide and tall. The lens is wide and the handle sits on top, so one person can carry it. It suits a rescue team, a soldier on watch or a smuggler signalling from a boat.
Place it in vehicles, camps, boats and patrol posts. Lights cast real shadows, so a searchlight pointed across a yard makes a strong beam with darkness all around. It is useful for searches and for spotting sneaking characters.
Ideas for the table
- A guard sweeps the searchlight across the yard every few rounds.
- The party uses the searchlight to signal a boat offshore.
- A flash of the searchlight blinds a creature that hates light.
