EQUIPMENT

Your equipped weapons and armor are the ones listed in the “Active Weapons” and “Active Armor” sections of your character sheet. Your character can only attack with weapons, benefit from armor, and gain features from items they have equipped. You can’t equip weapons or armor with a higher tier than you. PCs can carry up to two additional weapons in the “Inventory Weapon” areas of the character sheet. You can swap an Inventory Weapon with an Active Weapon at no cost during a rest or moment of calm; otherwise, you must mark a Stress to do so. Your character can only have one Active Armor at a time. They can’t equip armor while in danger or under pressure; otherwise, they can equip or unequip armor without cost. Each armor has its own Armor Slots; if your character unequips their armor, track how many of its Armor Slots are marked. You can't carry armor in your inventory. When your character equips or unequips armor, recalculate your damage thresholds.

WEAPONS

All weapons have a tier, trait, range, damage die, damage type, and burden. Some weapons also have a feature.

CATEGORY

A weapon’s category specifies whether it is a Primary or Secondary weapon. Your character can only equip up to one weapon of each category at a time.

TRAIT

A weapon’s trait specifies which trait to use when making an attack roll with it.

RANGE

A weapon’s range specifies the maximum distance between the attacker and their target when attacking with it.

DAMAGE

A weapon’s damage indicates the size of the damage dice you roll on a successful attack with it; you roll a number of dice equal to your Proficiency. If the damage includes a flat modifier, this number is added to the total damage rolled, but is not altered or affected by Proficiency.

DAMAGE TYPE

A weapon’s damage type indicates whether it deals physical or magic damage. Weapons that deal magic damage can only be wielded by characters with a Spellcast trait.

BURDEN

A weapon’s burden indicates how many hands it occupies when equipped. Your character’s maximum burden is 2 hands.

FEATURE

A weapon’s feature is a special rule that stays in effect while the weapon is equipped. You can throw an equipped weapon at a target within Very Close range, making the attack roll with Finesse. On a success, deal damage as usual for that weapon. Once thrown, the weapon is no longer considered equipped. Until you retrieve and re-equip it, you can’t attack with it or benefit from its features.

ARMOR

Every armor has a name, base damage thresholds, and a base Armor Score. Some armor also has a feature.

• An armor’s base armor score indicates how many Armor Slots it provides its wearer before additional bonuses are added to calculate their total Armor Score. A PC’s Armor Score can’t exceed 12.
• An armor’s base thresholds determine its wearer’s Major and Severe damage thresholds before adding bonuses to calculate their final damage thresholds. When recording your character’s damage thresholds in the “Damage & Health” section of your character sheet, you always add your character’s level to those values.
• An armor’s feature is a special rule that stays in effect while the armor is equipped. While unarmored, your character’s base Armor Score is 0, their Major threshold is equal to their level, and their Severe threshold is equal to twice their level.

REDUCING INCOMING DAMAGE

When you take damage, you can mark one Armor Slot to reduce the severity of the damage by one threshold (Severe to Major, Major to Minor, Minor to nothing). If your character has an Armor Score of 0, you can’t mark Armor Slots. If an effect temporarily increases your Armor Score, it increases your available Armor Slots by the same amount; when the effect ends, so does the availability of these Armor Slots.

LOOT

Loot comprises any consumables or reusable items the party acquires.

Arcane Frame Models

These wheelchairs have frames that are attuned to your character and their magic, allowing them to channel their spells through the chair. Unlike other primary magic weapons, the arcane-frame model doesn’t specify a trait to use when making an attack with it. Instead, you use the Spellcast trait indicated by your subclass.
