 ====== Equipment ======
-Equipment refers to the various items the player can equip to their character such as armor, clothing, and other accessories. These items serve to both define the appearance of the player's sprite as well as to confer a number of combat advantages such as the damage resistance granted by armor or from armor traits conferred by magically empowered pieces of equipment.
+Equipment refers to the various items the player can equip to their character such as weapons, armour, clothing, and other accessories. All equipment types can possess [[equipment traits]] which can radically modify the tactical advantages they offer.
-===== Equipment Traits =====
+===== Weapons =====
-While equipment such as armor pieces possess damage resistance and speed modifiers and accessories such as bandoliers increase a character's inventory capacity, equipment can have traits beyond their innate characteristics thanks to the magic which permeates Cascade. These traits can range from increasing a character's attack power at the cost of their defences to increasing the speed they physically move across the overworld at. All equipment pieces can possess these traits, be they armor or simple pieces of clothing, however players should be aware that there is a hard limit of 6 magical pieces of equipment (including a character's weapon) which can be equipped at once. Furthermore, equipment pieces have an associated level which is determined by the character who looted the equipment in question - this level much be matched or exceeded by the character's own level in order to be equipped and in the case of armor will also determine the values of the damage resistance the piece offers.

-===== Armor =====
+Weapons can be equipped to a character to offer an increase to their offensive power and granting them the ability to use their associated weapon [[skills|skill tree]]. Only 1 weapon can be equipped at a time and attempting to equip a weapon while already having one equipped will unequip that original weapon.
-Armor is the most common way for characters to increase their damage resistance in the game, however this comes with the drawback of a decrease to the character's speed stat which varies depending on the type of armor equipped. As they currently exist, armor pieces can be for 1 of 4 body slots: the head, torso, arms, or legs. Only 1 piece of armor can be equipped to each slot at a time.
+===== Armour =====
-Currently, there are 5 types of armor present in the game.
+<sup>Main Article: [[Armour]]</sup>
-  * **Light Armor** - This armor provides a modest boost to physical damage reduction with a small penalty to speed.
-  * **Heavy Armor** - This armor provides a good boost to physical damage reduction with an average penalty to speed.
-  * **Prototype Armor** - This armor provides a considerable boost to physical damage reduction with a heavy penalty to speed.
-  * **Sentinel Armor** - This armor provides a good boost to physical damage reduction and a modest boost to magical damage reduction with an average penalty to speed.
-  * **Magehunter Armor** - This armor provides a good boost to magical damage reduction with a small penalty to speed.
