Equipment

Equipment refers to the various items the player can equip to their character such as weapons, armour, clothing, and other accessories.

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.
