Certain weapons or armor types might allow for advanced techniques or possess unique inherent qualities beyond their basic statistics. These are sometimes referred to as Mastery Properties, such as special bracing techniques allowing a shield user to better absorb impacts, sweeping strikes unique to certain polearms, or specialized defensive stances possible only when wearing specific types of armor.
Gaining access to or effectively utilizing such properties typically requires more than just possessing the item. It often demands achieving a high level of skill (e.g., 75% or higher) in the relevant combat style or armor use context, undergoing specific training discovered during adventures (perhaps learning from a master or finding a manual), or possessing unique character Effects learned via the standard magic system rules.
The specific mechanics, prerequisites, and availability of any Mastery Properties are determined by the Game Master or detailed in specific setting guides or unique equipment descriptions. This section serves as a framework for the concept, not an exhaustive list of specific properties.
