14.5: Item bonuses

Nobles may possess items which grant attack, defense or missile bonuses in combat. Only one item may be wielded for each category. If the noble possesses multiple items with bonuses in the same area, the item with the largest bonus will be chosen.

For example, suppose Osswid had the following items:

Shield of Achilles [fx78]       +25 defense
Sword of Death [gl23]           +10 attack
Mithril Axe [wt29]              +15 attack
Magic javelin [ht02]            +5 missile

Osswid would wield the javelin and axe, and wear the shield. He would not use the Sword of Death.

Nobles automatically use items with combat bonuses in battle. No special orders are needed to wield them.
