Off Hand: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:06, 27 November 2024

An Off Hand or off-hand is an item class of equipment that counts as both armour and off-hand equipment. They provide base defences based on their attribute alignment.

Off-hands are further categorized into two sub-classes:

Shields, which grant chance to block. Certain basetypes also grant the Raise Shield skill.
Foci (or Focus), which does not grant any chance to block, and can roll caster modifiers.

Mechanics

Off hands can only be equipped in the off-hand weapon slot, and cannot normally be used with two-handed weapons unless Giant's Blood is allocated.

Types of shields

There are 5 main categories of off hands:

3 primary attribute categories which require a single attribute and provide an associated defence type.
- "Tower Shield" - Strength - Armour
- "Buckler" - Dexterity - Evasion
- '"Foci" - Intelligence - Energy Shield
2 hybrid attribute categories which require two attributes and provide both associated defence types at lower values.
- "Targe" - Strength/Dexterity - Armour/Evasion
- "Kite Shield" - Strength/Intelligence - Armour/Energy Shield

There are no dexterity/intelligence hybrid off hand base types.
