From the humble beginnings of a simple blade or farmers bow, your farmboy or farmgirl will encounter and be able to use a huge variety of weapons. Melee weapons such as swords, axes, hammers, clubs, and staves of varying levels of quality will be dropped from creatures, found in hidden chests, or bought in stores throughout the Kingdom of Ehb. Ranged weapons include bows, crossbows, Goblin mini-guns, flamethrowers, and lightning guns. Creatures will not only drop loot, but also their own weapon from time to time, so you’ll be able to permanently borrow that shiny ice bow from the ice warriors in the alpine caverns and immediately begin using it yourself.

Axe
	Mighty weapons of years past have served the 10th Legion well. Sheer strength will be needed to swing many of the brute weapons crafted by the blacksmiths of the world.

Bow
	Armed with a high quality battle bow, a dexterous and skilled archer can pierce his enemy with great strength at an impressive distance. Bows and crossbows of tremendous variety and strength can be found. An archer armed with the correct bow can be devastating.

Staff
	The trusty companion of most mages, the staff will serve as a channel from which to launch vigorous spells of damnation. But when your mana runs dry a staff can be used as a melee weapon, able to be swung in sweeping arches to land devastating blows.

Head out into battle completely equipped with a full set of armor, with protection from head to toe. Helms, body armor, gloves, boots, and a shield can all be equipped. Armor can contain magical enchantments that increase you attributes and skills, add health to you and your party, and increase you chances of avoiding an attack. Armor can be looted from creatures, found in dungeon chests, or bought from the town stores throughout the land.

Helm
	The most distinctive characteristic of heroes is their helm. Mages might have a fabric sorcerer’s cap heavily laden with magical enhancers, but full-face helms often are reserved for pure melee fighters, a trophy from the many battles they’ve endured.

Plate
	A full suit of plate mail can offer some of the best protection as you wade into battle. That protection comes at a heavy price; only the strongest of warriors can wear full plate armor.

Robe
	Soft and comfortable flowing robes can provide terrific protection if magically enhanced. Often colorful and filled with magical icons, a mage’s robe is his best friend.
