Equipment

Equipment includes all items that may be Worn or Wielded by a creature. Equipment comes in four categories: Weapons, Shields, Armor, and Tools.

Weapons

Weapons are Equipment that are usually Wielded in one or two hands and are used to make Attacks as part of using your Action to either Execute a Maneuver, Cast a Spell, or Recite a Chant.

Shields

Shields are Equipment that are Wielded in usually one hand that passively improves your Defense. Importantly, their Defense increase is doubled when taking the Block Action to enter the Blocking state.

Armor

Armor is Equipment that is Worn on the Body that passively improves your Defense. Armor serves to protect a character's Health Points from Attacks by increasing Defense.

Tools

Tools are Equipment that is carried on your person, usually in an accessible Backpack, Bandolier, or hidden in your Armor. You use tools by taking the Use Tool Action. Using a Tool requires at least one free hand.

They include using useful items such as Potions, tossing out Caltrops, or even using the dreaded Pocket Sand to Blind your foes!
