Some armors can also contain items of particular types. For example, a belt may allow a character to sheath weapons in it. Bracers and boots sometimes allow dagger-class weapons to be stored in them.

Weapon

A weapon is equipped in the WEILD position, and normally improves the amount of damage you do in combat.

• Weapons normally require only one hand to use, but larger weapons require two hands (your WIELD and HELD equipment positions). Some skills allow characters to also use additional weapons equipped in the HELD position (such as two-weapon fighting).
• Weapons have varying weapon classifications (Weapon Types), and varying damage types.
