Equipment Quality

Quality
The quality of your equipment will mean many things; generally, the more stars, the better in everything it may be used in both RP and combat wise.

No Star: The most generic of equipment.
Armor will be torn and pierced, and eventually will be degraded enough to suffer a -1 AC, to then being destroyed.

Weapons will dull to -1 damage, to then being destroyed.

One Star*: Well honed & forged quality equipment
Quality armor will last longer, and resist wear and tear. When pierced, the armor will cover itself naturally in combat, as it is intended to, until the same area is pierced again. It will suffer a -1 AC before being destroyed.

Weapons will be more effective for a longer amount of time. A general hint is that a well made sword can effectively slice three times through bone before dulling, and can be used even more until it suffers a -1 damage, to being destroyed. Additionally, it gains access to a greater critical success chart when this weapon is used.

Two Stars**: Equipment made from a master of its craft as well as the best materials available
Master armor has the properties of the one star quality, as well as being able to resist one attack of your choosing once before needing repairs again to use this ability. This may be any physical attack, including critical damage. No star equipment can not damage the armor, such as regular bows and arrows or dulled swords.

Master Weapons has the properties of the one star quality, as well as being able to inflict one of the following abilities once before needing repairs to activate an ability again, including the master critical chart:

Cutting Edge: The target's weapon is chipped, giving it the dull effect.

Artful Tip: The damage type changes to piercing, and the attack is made at advantage.

Spider-silk Shot: Stretched to its absolute limit, a thread is destroyed in order to inflict true piercing. If this shot misses, it automatically hits through a 0 or 1 star armor. If the shot lands, it grants +10 damage. A Spider-silk bow typically has three silk threads, and missing more then two threads reduces it to a one star bow.

Three Stars***: Legendary relics of days long past.
An armor with this quality is rumored to resist all 0 star attacks and can negate critical damage twice entirely. This armor can then be used as a two star armor, or be stored until an artisan master craftsman can repair the relic armor. A relic armor typically is made from an unknown metal, with an effect that is not disclosed in public records.

A weapon with this quality is rumored to slice through one star equipment, either damaging it heavily or destroying it completely.
