 This freedom allows players to create hybrid characters that are not commonly found in most fantasy games. For example, a typical staff-wielding wizard can instead use a sword for self-defence in melee, or even use a magically enchanted firearm with abilities that cannot be created by a conventional smith. This freedom allows players to create hybrid characters that are not commonly found in most fantasy games.

 + 
 +{{:projects:g9:player firebal.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +===Armour=== 
 + 
 +Mirroring the attack types, there are also three armour types: Heavy, Light, and Magic. 
 + 
 +**Heavy** 
 + 
 +Heavy armour are made out of metal. These provide a huge amount of armour value that can mitigate physical attacks such as those made by swords and bows. However, their weight will greatly limit the stamina of the user, meaning they will have to rely on their armour to protect them against attacks, as it will be difficult for them to dodge any. 
 + 
 + 
 +{{:projects:g9:player armour.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +**Light** 
 + 
 +Light armour are made out of wool. These provide some armour value, but are very light in weight, giving the user both a good chance of dodging attacks, as well as some protection against blows that do land on them. 
 + 
 +**Magic** 
 + 
 +Magic armour are made out of cotton. These are neither very light nor have much armour value. They are instead used by magic users that can provide them bonuses to magic damage and defense.  
 + 
 +===Mechanics=== 
 + 
 +**Armour value** 
 + 
 +Armour value allow characters to mitigate incoming physical damage. A character with high armour value will take much fewer points of damage than one without. 
 + 
 +**Piercing** 
 + 
 +Spiky and blunt weapons have Piercing value which can mitigate defender's armour value. When a character attacks, the defender's armour value is subtracted by the attacker's piercing value. For example, when attacking a target with 30 armour, a weapon with 10 physical damage and 30 piercing will deal more damage than a weapon with 15 physical damage and 0 piercing.  
 + 
 +**Blocking** 
 + 
 +Shields can be used to block physical attacks when they are raised. As long as the armour value of the shield is greater or equal to the physical damage dealt, the physical damage will be completely avoided. In the case where the physical damage is greater than the shield's armour value, the defender will fail to block, but the shield will provide 5x (exact multiplier not finalized) armour value during the hit. 
 + 
 +{{:projects:g9:player blocking.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +**Parrying** 
 + 
 +Most weapons can be used to parry other melee attacks when no shield is equipped. Parrying an attack must be performed exactly when the attack is about to land, and if successfully parried, the damage will be completely mitigated. 
 + 
 +{{:projects:g9:player parry.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +**Stamina** 
 + 
 +Stamina is used to perform most physical actions such as sprinting or melee skills. A character with a large weight from their armour will very quickly deplete their stamina, making it less likely for them to continuously dodge attacks. 
 + 
 +**Weight** 
 + 
 +Other than stamina, the off-hand slot's (usually a shield) weight affects the attack speed of the main hand weapon. This makes heavy shields much more defensive, as the user's attack speed will be greatly reduced by wearing one. On the contrary, a light shield with little defence will allow the character to attack faster compared to a heavy shield.
