{{hatnote|Main article: [[Weapons]]}}Weapons serve the purpose of dealing damage to various things, ranging from doors and crates to monsters and NPCs.  Your weapon of choice determines your base [[Damage Roll]] before bonuses.  For example, a dagger may do 1d4 damage (one four-sided dice), meaning 1 to 4 points of damage before bonuses are applied.  On the other hand, a two-handed greatsword may do 2d6 damage (two six-sided dice), for a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 before bonuses.

{{hatnote|Main article: [[Clothing]]}}Clothing normally provides no protection, though magical pieces of Clothing may provide many benefits.

{{hatnote|Main article: [[Armour]]}}Armour offers the character an improved base [[Armour Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit. When wearing Armour, your Armour Class becomes that of the piece of Armour you're wearing. In other words, it overrides your base Armour Class, before bonuses from Dexterity, Shields, spell effects, etc. are applied.

{{hatnote|Main article: [[Shields]]}}Shields provide a bonus to [[Armour Class]] to decrease the chance of being hit by enemies.  Your character doesn't need to be actively holding the equipped shield to get the AC bonus; it's enough that the shield is equipped in its melee off-hand slot.  I.e., a character with a sword and shield in its melee weapon slots and a longbow in its ranged weapon slots will benefit from the shield's AC bonus even while using the bow.
