A character's modifiers when using an item (or the item's modifiers when used by a character) 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:Character Sheet|Character Creation/Character Sheet]] and [[Mano a Mano:Equipment|Game Design/Equipment]].)
