Equipment

Equipment is any one or more items you choose to carry on yourself or others. These can be in various forms and serve several uses. Such examples are:

Weapons - Items such as staffs, lightsabres or blasters are equipment which can be placed in your hands and used to attack or defend from enemies.

Armour - It is possible to equip pieces of armour to reduce combat damage from enemy attacks. Examples of armour are things such as Stormtrooper Armour. These usually come in the form of a Torso plate and some pieces of armour may have a matching helmet.

Storage - These items can be equipped on your person and be used to store other kinds of items. Common examples of these are various different backpacks or tool belts.

Utilities - Other items serve a purpose and allow you to perform various actions. For example a Tool Kit allows you to create and install door locks, jetpacks allow you enhanced movement options and goggles allow you to see further.

Clothing - Items such as robes or pilot suits have no purpose at present short of being aesthetically pleasing, allowing the character to wear a uniform or clothing style and roleplay somewhat.

The various types of items often need to be equipped onto a character in order to be used. For more details, see the article on Equipping Items, which will explain how to equip an item to a character or NPC.
