View source for Arms and armor

Characters do not function at their best without a full set of gear. It's possible, but often inadvisable, to fight with more than one weapon at a time, if one has sufficient hands: this is called [[multiweapon fighting]].

Except for Siege Weapons, it's not possible to use a weapon if its weight exceeds the wielder's carrying capacity. 

See also: [[Vehicles]], and [[Random Items]].

=== Ranged Weapons ===

Weapons can't be left loaded for more than a minute at a time; doing so wears down the mechanism or tires the wielder.

=== Melee Weapons ===
Even without any melee weapons, a character can fight in melee [[unarmed]].

It is possible to throw any melee weapon. Normally, this is done with a range of 10m. There's a Throwing penalty to the accuracy of the attack: -1 if thrown one-handed, or -2 if thrown two-handed. For characters with more than 1 [[Muscle]], the throwing range is multiplied by the amount of [[Muscle]] the character has.

=== Armor ===
Armor must be sized to fit the creatures who wear them. The listed weight is for a 1 meter size creature; the weight for a creature of a different size is multiplied by their size, squared. ''For example, a 5 meter creature's armor weighs 25 times as much as the listed weight.'' Resizing armor is not very difficult, and can be accomplished with 8 hours and a DC 6 [[Items]] check.

Body armor (that is, armor that doesn't use any hands) takes 2 [[standard action|standard actions]] to put on or take off, which need not be consecutive. Partially worn armor applies its penalties but does not provide any bonuses or protection.

=== Gems ===
Gems must be implanted in certain magically active body regions to function, unless used to power magic items. Gems of the same color do not stack. A normal character can't handle having more than one gem or color of gem implanted at a time: for every gem implanted beyond this limit of 1, they get a -2 penalty to [[Toughness]]. For every color of gem implanted beyond the first, they get another -1 penalty to [[Toughness]].

Inserting a gem into a held item is a [[move action]], as is removing a gem from a held item.

The magically active body regions for the majority of creatures are the face, along the spine, on the sternum, and on the hands and forearms. All magically active body regions are on the surface, and implanted gems are clearly visible. Implanting a gem takes a [[standard action]], and removing a gem requires either a successful [[cut out]] action, or a successful DC 6 [[Supernatural Philosophy]] check by the creature after 30 minutes of continuous [[concentration]].

There is no known method for crafting gems; new gems are obtained only by harvesting them from certain monsters.

=== Psychic Items ===

Psychic characters with the relevant bloodline may craft special equipment into which they invest pieces of their souls. Each item they craft in this way reduces their Strong Aura by 2 meters, until the item is destroyed, freeing that part of their soul to return to their body.

==== Crafting Psychic Items ====

Psychic items have crafting requirements: A Psychic Strength, and maybe a Bloodline or two. Psychic Strength is equal to what the character's [[Strong Aura]] would be if they didn't have any psychic items currently reducing it.

==== Borrowed Psychic Items ====

Sometimes a group may get hold of psychic items crafted by characters not in any of the players' parties. In that situation, but only in that situation, the item counts against the wielder's point limit, depending on the Psychic Strength requirement of the item:
