Curesed things can be very dangerous to a player and surrounding players. Armors range from shreaded rags to full breast plates. They are worn on the torso, sometimes the arms and legs are covered too. Helms range from chain mail coifs and leather caps to full knight's helms. They are worn on the head.
Shields range from wooden celtic shields to full battle shields.
They are held with the left arm. Shields can only be used if the player is using a one-handed weapon. Weapons are probably the most popular ways of inflicting damage on your enemies. They can be ranged weapons like bows, or melee weapons like swords and axes. Melee weapons can be thrown to inflict greater damage, their throw range depends on how heavy they are.
