	;cover: Cover is a value which determines how likely the item will block an attack. The chance that an attack will target the particular area protected by this item is as important as the amount of that area actually covered. For example, a helmet covering the head (a very important target) might have the same cover as armor completely protecting the feet and shins (more area, but not more important than the head.)

	Equipment lists show the features of items in the game: CP value, mass, heft, power and so forth. These are similar to the features in the equipment section of a character sheet, except that they are independent of the character using them.

			Most equipment will have CP and mass, and most weapons will have heft and power. Other features are listed in the ''Features'' column of the equipment list. A detailed equipment list may include details such as the reduced pull required to keep a compound bow drawn, the procedure for operating firearms (cocking, reloading, burst fire, etc.) or the type of damage inflicted by weapons.

	;CP (Character Points): The CP value of this item.		;CP (Character Points): The CP value of this item.

	;~~Mass~~: The item's mass in kg. Weapon mass is based on heft (see below.) The mass of medieval armor is typically the wearer's mass multiplied by the armor's cover and absorption divided by 100. Some armor is heavier, especially scale armor and brigandine which are held together by a heavy cloth or leather backing. Modern armor and armor that only protects a vital area, such as a helmet or breastplate, can be lighter.		;mass: The item's mass in kilograms. Weapon mass is based on heft (see below.)

	;~~Heft~~: Heft is the power a character must have to wield the weapon easily. A weapon's heft is usually based on it's mass, but a hand weapon weighted for extra attack power, such as a mace, may have a little more heft. The heft of a bow reflects it's pull rather than it's weight. A firearm with a strong kick may have extra heft to reflect it's kick. If a weapon's heft is greater than the power of the character using it, the weapon is '''unwieldy'''. Unwieldy weapons may only be used to do one quick action per turn (and no powerful actions.) A heavy weapon may increase a character's encumbrance penalty too, reducing speed and movement.		;heft: Heft is the power a character must have to wield the weapon easily.
