Equipment - Gameplay

In Amtgard, the term ‘equipment’ refers to any physical gear or items that are used to directly influence gameplay. This includes weapons, shields, armor, helms, magic items, and game objectives - and excludes garb, non-combat items (instruments, books, telescopes, etc.) and containers (quivers, pouches, bags, etc.).

This section explains the gameplay rules for each type of equipment. If you wish to craft your own equipment, details and guidance can be found later in the Equipment - Construction section.

A Note about Personal Property

All equipment is the personal property of the player that owns it.

1. Players may never handle or fight with the equipment of another player without first having their permission. Players may assist with the recovery of expended equipment (often projectiles) without permission however this can be revoked by the owner at any time.
2. Players should never knowingly conduct themselves in a manner that would cause a reasonable player to fear for the safety of their equipment
