Planewalker Games'
official website has received its usual weekly update for The Broken Hourglass, this time
taking a closer look at the game's special equipment properties.
Weapons may possess more than one quality—for instance, a bow is both Penetrating and Rapid.
A special property of defensive equipment is Deflect. Shields have the Deflect property and enable a wielder to use the Deflect defense skill. Unlike the Dodge and Parry skill, you may only use Deflect if using a Deflect-enabled shield. Bigger, stronger shields grant bigger bonuses to the Deflect skill. Shields do not provide damage resistance as such.
All weapons have a Range, drawn from a list of five possible choices. A weapon may have only one range, although a weapon may be used to attack a target closer than its maximum range. We do not simulate a penalty for using a very long polearm against someone standing right next to you.
