When rules mention the character's modifiers with an item, they refer to the modifiers in the equipment section of the character sheet. These are determined by comparing the character's modifiers to the item's modifiers, so they may be different from the values listed on the equipment list for that item. (See [[Mano a Mano:Character Sheet|Characters/Character Sheet]].)

The power of a natural weapon is the character's total power. The combat modifier (Cmb) of a natural weapon is the character's total agility modifier plus total unarmed combat ability modifier. (See [[Mano a Mano:Abilities#Other Abilities|Game Design/Abilities/Other Abilities]].)

The character usually begins with the basic equipment required by his occupation. The game or GM may give the character additional equipment or money to buy equipment. A character's modifiers when using an item are listed in the equipment section of the character sheet. These are determined by comparing the character's modifiers to the item's modifiers, and may be different from the values listed on the equipment list for that item. (See [[Mano a Mano:Equipment|Game Design/Equipment]] and [[Mano a Mano:Inventory Management|Character Development/Inventory Management]].)

*'''Qty''' (Quantity) is the number of these items a character has.
 +
*'''Mas''' (Mass) is the item's weight in pounds or mass in kg, multiplied by the quantity (Qty).

 +
*'''Agi''' (Agility) is the character's agility or the weapon's agility, whichever is lower.

*'''Cmb''' (Combat Modifier) in the case of hand to hand weapons is the character's Agility + applicable ability.

 +
*'''Cvr''' (Cover) determines how likely the item will block an attack.  The chance of an attack targeting the area protected by this item is as important as the amount of that area actually covered.
 +
*'''Abs''' (Absorb) determines how much damage is absorbed by this item when it blocks an attack.
 +
*'''Pwr''' (Power) is the character's power or the weapon's power, whichever is greater. Heavier weapons are more powerful, so the power of a weapon is usually -2 multiplied by it's Agility modifier or slightly higher if the weapon is well balanced.

*'''Shp''' (Sharpness) determines how many damage points go into stun and lasting pools.  (See Action Rules/Damage.)
 +

 +
*'''A/G''' (Attack and Grapple) is the character's combat modifier with this weapon plus the weapon's attack and grapple modifier. This modifier is used instead of combat modifier when attacking or manipulating.
 +
*'''Par''' (Parry) is the character's combat modifier with this weapon plus the weapon's parry modifier. This modifier is used instead of combat modifier when parrying.
