Held
Anything carried using one or more hands is considered Held.
Free Hand
Also known as an 'Open Hand', a Free Hand is the hand of an unwounded arm, which is not holding any equipment other than material components required by the action.
Free Hands are most often required to cast abilities and interact with game objectives.
- Bucklers, Small Shields, and Magic Staves will not count against a Free Hand, even while holding the handle.
- Medium, Large, and Tower Shields that are held in hand or worn on an arm will always take up the respective Free Hand, even if they are not actively being wielded or held in hand. The same is true for all sizes of Madu.
- Abilities marked with ⬗ in class customization do not require a free hand for that class to use.
