Equipment

In the most general sense, these are the things the characters are carrying. Also, there is a number of special quest items in each game which are necessary to win.

Equipment in Wizardry I - V
There are several categories of equipment:


 * weapons
 * armor
 * helmets
 * gloves
 * shields
 * rings
 * rods
 * wands
 * keys

When a piece of equipment is found in the maze, it is unidentified. Only its category is given after a question mark ("?"), which indicates the unidentified status.

There are certain pieces of equipment that can only be used by characters of a certain alignment or class.

Some equipment is cursed. Once it is put on or touched, which might also happen during the attempt to identify it, it cannot be unequipped.

Some of the things have magical powers, which usually means that they can be "used" either during combat or when the party is camping.
