Armor & Weapons

Crafting Skills: General Edu./Tech Edu. Crafting Scrap: General & Tech

Humans generally don’t go adventuring while naked and defenseless. While having Pokemon is nice, being able to directly protect yourself is sometimes more desirable. All Enhancements may also be applied to Armor or Weapons after they have been created. Unlike other items, Armor & Weapons may only have one type of Enhancement applied at a time (besides Stylish!) – although you may modify an item after you create it to further improve its existing Enhancement. If the crafter has the Master Smith Edge, they can apply up to 2 Enhancements to Armor or Weapons.

  • Armor and Clothing fit into your Body Slot.
  • Weapons fit into your Hand Slots.
  • Armor that is created for humans cannot be used by Pokemon, and vice versa.
    • Armor is created to fit a specific Pokemon species, and will not fit any others, even those within the same evolutionary family. Pokemon bodies are quite diverse.

Weapons come in 2 types: Small or Large. There are important differences between them:

  • Small Weapons:
    • Fit into 1 Hand Slot.
    • Deal +1 damage per Weapon Quality.
    • Target 1 creature.
    • If dual wielding, deal another +1 damage per Weapon Quality, but suffer -1 Accuracy. You still only target 1 creature.
    • Weigh W-1.
    • Cost less.
  • Large weapons:
    • Fit into 2 Hand Slots.
    • Deal +2 damage per Weapon Quality.
    • Target 2 creatures.
    • Weigh W-2.
    • Cost more.
  • Shields and Greatshields fit into Hand Slots like weapons, and even bestow Struggle Attacks. However, they do not deal extra damage when attacking. 
    • As a Standard Action, Shields and Greatshields may be Readied to provide +1 Evasion and +5 DR for a round.

Higher Quality ones allow you new Struggle Attacks that are specific to that Weapon. For instance, a Fine Large Bow might have the Bullseye! Struggle Attack, which grants +4 Critical Range. Masterwork or better Weapons even give you extra Struggle Points when creating new Struggle Attacks!
