Something fairly unique is the multiple damage types that can be included on a weapon.  When someone is 
hit by a sword, not only does the sword deal cutting damage, but it also deals some impact damage as well.  
If someone is wearing leather armor, and the sword doesn't cut through the armor, it will still inflict 
some impact damage based on the weight of the weapon, and the strength of the wielder.

The weight of the weapon determines the weapon speed and whether the player is strong enough to wield it 
effectively.

Damage types:
	Pierce
	Impact
	Cut
	
	Fire
	Cold
	Electrical
	Acid

The following are only effective if it physically damages the target.  Poison on a hammer against 
leather is likely to never effect the target as blood is never drawn.
	
	Poison			
	Disease			

Physical Properties:
	Weight      Overall burden towards player capacity and backpack capacity as well as ability to wield.
	Length      A weapon that is too large may not fit in some backpacks.
	Width       Same as above.
	Height      Same as above.
	Volume      Using fluid volume to fill inventory.  (l*w*h)

	Material    Some spells require specific materials.

	Speed       How fast the weapon attacks.  May be modified by a player's constitution.

If you don't have the skill required to use a weapon, you can still wield it (considering you're strong enough), 
however, you will not be able to get the maximum efficiency from it.  A longsword in the hands of a newbie 
isn't as deadly as one in the hands of a master.  Weapons have a _base_ damage type at a specific skill, which 
is scaled higher/lower based on skill.

Bows have different strength bowshafts.  If you are too weak, you suffer a damage reduction. Same for Crossows but you 
can't use at all if not strong enough. Bows - shaft and string can modify damage. 4 string lengths before replacing shaft. Shorter 
strings increase damage. STR req goes up with each string. Strings work with specific bow styles. Longbow / Shortbow / etc. all 
have different string sets. 

NOTE: Durability drops up to twice as fast if you're too low level to use the item.

Armor has 3 features based on each damage type.

  Resistance:
	How much the total damage is reduced based on armor rigidity.	This drops 
	as armor condition drops.

  Minimum initial damage to breach armor(and apply damage to player):  
	Unless the total damage dealt by the weapon (before resistances/etc.) isn't
	greater than this number, then the player will not be damaged physically
	since the blow wasn't strong enough to overcome the rigidity of the armor
	and create an opening.

  Damage applied to armor:
	This is the percentage of the total damage (before resistances/etc.) that
	is applied directly to the armor's condition.

As armor condition drops, the chance for a critical hit increases as there are
more openings in the armor.  (With the exception to impact which doesn't get a 
critical increase due to condition)  

Different armor is effective against different damage types.  Allthough heavy, platemail offers superior 
protection to all damage types.  Leather may be somewhat effective against piercing and cutting damage, but 
blocks little impact damage.  Should a sword slice into platemail, the attacker will have a difficult time 
hitting that exact hole again, therefore will likely have to wear the armor down to be very effective.  
Another thing to note is that once platemail armor is breached, its quality rapidly deteriorates to impact 
damage.  Periodically after a few battles, a player will have to field repair his armor to restore most of 
the efficiency to the armor.  A squire helps reduce this need as he automatically repairs armor between 
battles, which allows the player to ignore his basic blacksmithing skill and focus on other skills.

Resistance types:
	Pierce
	Impact
	Cut
	
	Fire
	Cold
	Electrical
	Acid
	Poison
	Disease


Physical Properties:
	Weight      Overall burden towards player capacity and backpack capacity as well as ability to equip it.
	Volume      Using fluid volume to fill inventory.
	Length      An item that is too large may not fit in some backpacks.
	Width       Same as above.
	Height      Same as above.

	Material    Some spells require specific materials.

	Breach      Damage required to breach the armor and effect the wearer.  (Similar to AL)
                        This is modified by the Quality.  If quality is at 50%, then this value is reduced 50%.

	Quality     Current percentage of efficiency.  100.0 = no wear / 0.0 = unusable
	WearResistance [Resistance types]   How resistant the item is to degredation based on specific damage types.
                                        Impact damage won't wear out leather quick, where slash will.
	
Other:
	DodgeEffect     How it effects your dodge ability.
	ShieldEffect    How it effects your shield ability.
	AttackEffect    How it effects your attack ability.
	MobilityEffect  How it effects your mobility.  (movement/run)
	
Efficiency/quality repairs can me made in the field with a field repair kit.  Durability repairs must be 
made at a forge.  Each time you repair using the field kit, the temporary efficiency is reduced 1% until 
durability repairs are made.  If you repair after each battle, you will have to go to a forge quicker.  
The tradeoff is whether you want max efficiency before a fight, (which reduces the time between forge 
visits) or if you are willing to live with taking a bit more physical damage and head to the forge later.  
Since physical damage can be healed easily between battles, players will likely choose to field repair 
their armor after it drops below 50%-75% instead of 90%.  If you're fighting critters much higher level, 
you will likely want max armor efficiency, so you'll repair after every battle, whereas a player 
fighting equal level critters would choose to let the armor wear a bit more between field repairs and 
stay in the field longer.

Some magical enchantments drastically help increase armor durability/efficiency.

NOTE: Durability drops up to twice as fast if you're too low level to use the item.

Momentum

Think swordplay.

Attacking without missing / fumbling the attack allows you to build up momentum.  This increases the damage 
you do because you're setting up your opponent and finding vulnerabilities. When you fumble an attack ( worse 
than a miss ), there is a delay to start attacking again while you recover from the bad attack move.  
You lose all momentum.

Certain special attacks require a certain amount of momentum to use.  You will retain that momentum even
after using the skill, allthough that particular attack won't build more momentum.  Some special attacks cost 
momentum as well.  This keeps you from spamming an attack.  Since special attacks have skill levels, they 
will tend to burn all momentum when you miss more often at low skill levels.
