Weapons and Armor

Weapons are divided into categories of light, medium, and heavy (light weapons are things like punches and small knives, medium weapons are baseball bats and longswords, heavy weapons are rifles and big axes, and so on). A core character can freely use light weapons ("freely use" means your attacks with light weapons don't have a penalty). You can't freely use medium or heavy weapons, so if you attack with one, your attack is hindered.

Armor is divided into categories of light, medium, and heavy (light armor is stuff like thick leather, medium is chainmail, and heavy is plate mail). A core character can't freely use any kind of armor, so if you wear armor, it hinders some of your physical tasks.
