โ๏ธWeapons and Shields
The Types
There are several different types of items, which vary by class.
Main Hand vs Off Hand
Main Hand (MH): Most weapons can be main hand weapons. Which specific weapons can be used are based on the pixel hero's class.
Melee Weapons
Great Weapon: A great weapon can only be wielded by a warrior, and only one can be equipped at a time.
Magic Weapons
Staff and Wand: A staff or wand can only be wielded by a mage, and only one of this type of weapon can be equipped at a time.
Offhand (OH): The weapon (or other item) used in the offhand is defined by class.
A heroโs main hand weapon will always define the damage type (unless it is a shield, in which case the off-hand weapon defines it, as a shield โmain handโ is main hand for cosmetic reasons only.)
NOTE: Main hand and offhand can be represented in either hand on the hero card.
The Finer Points of Mayhem
All damage types are associated with at least one Aspect.
If a heroโs Aspect matches the damage type they are attacking with, they get a small damage bonus.
If a heroโs Aspect matches the damage type of an incoming attack, they get a slight absorption bonus (ie: take slightly less damage) or they get a slight increase to the associated saving throw.
