Equipping Items

menu
Placeholder

At the start of a scenario, a player chooses which of their owned items to equip (bring into a scenario).

All item cards a character equips will be placed below his or her character mat and can be used during a battle to augment his or her abilities (any items not chosen cannot be used during the battle).

Item cards are not class-specific, so any character can use any item.

Add modifier cards from the equipped items to the players Attack Modifier Deck.

The number of attack modifier cards to add is listed in the bottom left corner of the item card.

Players only add these to their decks when the item is equipped. If the item is unequipped or not used in the next battle, these attack modifier cards are removed. See Item Card Breakdown for more details.

Characters are limited in the number of items they can equip. Each character can equip:

Max 2 if no two handed items.

Max 1 if no one handed items.

A character only has 2 hands. So they can equip 1 two handed item or 2 one handed items.

Max 1/2 character level (rounded up)

Example: A level 5 character would be able to equip 3 small items.
