(Host) General Items & Limited Use Items

Most General and Limited Use Items will be of varieties that will fall under the one of the following categories: Crown, Cape/Cloak, Breastplate, Bracers/Gloves, Shield, Belt, Waist Covering (pants or wrap), Greaves, Necklace/Amulet, Brooch/Pin, and Ring. Information about the use and equipping of these kinds of Items are found in Acquiring & Equipping Items. In this entry we will address understanding and creating these Items.

Most Items in Allies of Majesty will utilize a system of adjectives and descriptors related to the kind of bonuses provided by the Item.

Limited Use Items

A Limited Use Item is an Item that has no static abilities. These are most commonly Items that can only be used for their benefit a certain number times each Day. This category does not include Items that would enhance a Spiritual Effect or Song even though you are not always using that Spiritual Effect or Song, it does enhance them every time and as many times as you use that Spiritual Effect or Song. Limited Use Items can be used even after dice have been rolled, but must be used before Adjustments have been made.  

Standard Item Bonuses and Values

The following list of bonuses is not an exhaustive list, but it does cover the most common bonuses. Also listed will be a Bonus Point value for the amount of bonus provided. The details and relevance of the point system will be described in more detail later. No regular Item will have more than 4 Bonus Points worth of bonuses.
