I have a question re: character classes and weapons.

So from the rules and FAQ... it seems any character can use any weapon? Like a warrior archetype can use a magic rune? And a cleric can use a sword, etc.? In other words, no limits?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. I tried searching for the answer but couldn't find it.

Thanks!

Unless it's stated otherwise (for example, heavy armor excluding the equipping of runes,) any character can equip any item up to 2 hands worth of weapons, 2 items, and 1 piece of armor.

Obviously, there are some weapon types that work better with certain classes than others, and many attack skills specify weapon types needed to activate them.

I believe there is a hero with a bonus to a certain weapon type also.

edit:

When you're using a game system that restricts weapons by class, people are all like "what? My wizard can't pick up a sword?! Gandalf had a sword!"

When you're using a game system that lets anyone weild anything, people are all like "what? My wizard is allowed to carry a sword? How is that fair?!"

Can't please them all. =P

LOL! Thanks for the replies, everyone ;-)
