Equipment lists show the modifiers of each item in the game. These modifiers are similar to the modifiers in the equipment section of a character sheet, except that these modifiers 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.

;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.

;Power (and half power): Power is the maximum damage the weapon can cause in a single attack. A weapon's power is almost never less than it's heft. A well balanced hand weapon might have a few more power than it's heft, but a firearm can have much more power than heft. A weapon's '''half power''' is the weapon's power divided by 2, rounded down. Power is always listed as a range from the weapon's half power to it's full power.  A weapon with 9 power has a half power of 4, so it's power would be listed as the range "4-9".

;power: The equipment list shows two numbers for power. The first number is half of the weapon's power, rounded down. The second number is the weapon's full power. Power is the weapon's maximum attack power. A weapon's power is almost never less than it's heft. A well balanced hand weapon might have more power than it's heft, and a firearm can have much more power than heft.

Small amounts of reach which make a big difference in combat are reflected by higher template agility and combat abilities or ''reach'' for some hand weapons (longer swords, staffs and polearms.)

Items with cover also have absorption.

;A/G (Attack and Grapple): This modifier applies to grappling and successfully hitting targets.

;Par (Parry): Improves a character's ability to avoid hand to hand attacks.
 
−
;Con (Conceal): Improves the character's ability to carry the weapon without it being noticed.
 
−
;Cut (Cutting Resistance): Extra absorption when the item blocks a cutting weapon. Tough, flexible armor - such as leather and chainmail - resists cutting.
 
−
;Imp (Impaling Resistance): Extra absorption when the item blocks an impaling weapon. Hard, smooth, angled, springy and stretchy armor deflects piercing attacks.  Armor with more resistance to impaling than other attacks might include some lamellar armors or modern ballistic vests and helmets covered with strong, tightly woven fibers that catch bullets.
 
−
;Blu (Bludgeoning Resistance): Extra absorption when the item blocks a bludgeoning weapon. Padded or ablative armor - such as a bicycle helmet - absorbs more damage from blunt trauma, explosions, collisions and so on.

Equipment Lists[edit]

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. (See Character Creation/Character Equipment.) 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.
mass
The item's mass in kilograms. 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.
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 Mass Heft Mass
0 0 g 13 100 kg
1 30 g 14 200 kg
2 100 g 15 300 kg
3 300 g 16 500 kg
4 500 g 17 1 tonne
5 1 kg 18 2 tonnes
6 2 kg 19 3 tonnes
7 3 kg 20 5 tonnes
8 5 kg 21 10 tonnes
9 10 kg 22 20 tonnes
10 20 kg 23 30 tonnes
11 30 kg 24 50 tonnes
12 50 kg 25 100 tonnes
power
The equipment list shows two numbers for power. The first number is half of the weapon's power, rounded down. The second number is the weapon's full power. Power is the weapon's maximum attack power. A weapon's power is almost never less than it's heft. A well balanced hand weapon might have more power than it's heft, and a firearm can have much more power than heft.
range
Range is a value which is the weapon's maximum effective range in meters. Most natural weapons and hand weapons have no range. Small amounts of reach which make a big difference in combat are reflected by higher template agility and combat abilities or reach for some hand weapons (longer swords, staffs and polearms.)
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.) Items with cover also have absorption.
absorption
Absorption is a value which determines how much attack power is absorbed by this item when it blocks an attack.
grapple
A weapon with grapple is especially effective at trapping limbs and weapons. Most flexible weapons have this feature. Add 1 to grappling attacks with this weapon.
reach
A weapon with reach is long but still easy to control. Add 1 to a character's combat modifier with this weapon. Flexible weapons usually have grapple instead of reach because they are more difficult to control.
sharp
sharp weapons do all damage instead of half damage and half stun.
padded
padded weapons do all stun instead of half damage and half stun
two-handed
Two handed weapons are normally used with two hands. It is possible to wield a two-handed weapon in one hand, but then the weapon loses it's grapple or reach advantage.
