Equipment are important items for the player’s adventure. They can be weapons that deal damage to enemies, or armour for protection from them. They can also give interesting bonuses to the player’s characters such as extra spells, special enchantments, and so on.

You can find detailed description for each type of equipment below.

Weapons[edit | edit source]

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.

There are a number of ways to categorize weapons:

  • Melee or Ranged
  • Martial or Simple
  • One-handed, Two-handed, or Versatile

Each weapon deals a specific type of physical damage. The damage types are:

  • Bludgeoning
  • Slashing
  • Piercing

In addition, weapons can have various properties such as Heavy, Finesse, Light, and so on. See the main Weapons page linked above for details.

Clothing, Armour, and Shields[edit | edit source]

Clothing[edit | edit source]

Main article: Clothing
Clothing normally provides no protection, though magical pieces of Clothing may provide many benefits.

Classes without any Armour Proficiency such as Sorcerer and Wizard wear Clothing instead of Armour so they can cast Spells in and out of combat. Wearing Armour without the corresponding Proficiency also imposes a number of other penalties.

One can gain additional Armour Proficiency by taking appropriate Feats at Level 4, such as Lightly Armoured, Moderately Armoured and Heavily Armoured. However, each level of heaviness has the previous level as a prerequisite. For example, in order to be able to pick the Heavily Armoured Feat, your character must already have Medium Armour Proficiency from some source.

Armour[edit | edit source]

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.

There are three types of worn armour: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Shields are also treated as armour, although they do not split into any sub-types. You need the corresponding Armour Proficiency to be able to use a specific type of Armour without penalties.

Shields[edit | edit source]

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.
