Tools sprites preview.png

Tools are objects used for mundane purposes by civilians and night creatures. Some tools can also be used as weapons, though it is usually much better to use, say, a sword over a carving fork. Other tools can be used by your dwarves in fortress mode.

You can select these tools as starting equipment, if your adventurer hails from a human civilisation.
