	~~values need balanced, 5 on everything is placeholder. My thoughts~~ are that ~~special ammo and poisons will just function as~~ weapon attachments that ~~change~~ the damage ~~type of the weapon (fire/cold/poison/energy) until the charges are used up. Because armor is primarily Physical and or Cold resist~~, ~~Poison and Fire damage will mostly ignore armor unless people take precautions~~ to ~~wear gear~~ that ~~resists those types of~~ damage~~. I think this is easier to balance than standard DOT type poisons and effects~~.		Weapon attachments are limited-use items that can be applied to weapons. Every hit landed with a weapon with applied attachments has an increased chance for the weapon to be damaged, with additional attachments increasing that chance. Higher quality weapons may have one "free" attachment per level of quality that does not incur the additional damage, in addition to a larger durability pool that can absorb damage.

	Cover, simply put, is hiding behind a person or object as to lessen your chances of being hit. Bullets always treat the first mobile in a direct path between the shooter and the target as their target when making to-hit checks, and will damage that mobile if they are hit. Friends and innocents can be hit, so be mindful of your target and what lies beyond it. Shooters can negate this by using the '''Aim''' Special Weapon Move.

Consumable food and drink provides a bonus, and not engaging with them to their fullest should be seen as opportunity cost, not a penalty.

Items in the game have Properties that determine their effects in [[Custom Crafting]], on consumption, as well as their effects when used to treat [[Injuries]] by [[Doctors]]. 
Players have a value between -1000 and 1000 for each Property, with 0 being the neutral baseline. All properties will naturally drift towards 0 over time (with the exceptions of [[Hunger, Thirst, and Nutrition]], which dift towards -1000) unless an Injury, [[Adaptation]], or [[Addiction]] prevents them from doing so. A Positive value in a property generally does Good things, whereas a Negative value generally only does BAD things. 
Properties do not have their exact values displayed, and sometimes may not be visible at all. Positive values will have a '''plus''' (+) indicator, and negative values will have a '''minus''' (-) indicator. The degree of a value may only be visible to a player with related skills. For example, all players may be able to see that Cocaine is a Stimulant, but a skilled [[Chemist]] may be able to tell at a glance the overall strength of the effects, as well as any secondary effects. Further still, a [[Doctor]] may be able to determine the negative (or positive!) health effects of consuming the drug. 
Properties can be viewed by hovering your mouse pointer over the item.

			==Stats and Armor==

			[[Stats]] directly influence your damage, giving +1 damage per 20 points in the associated weapon stat. Bludgeoning and Pugilism weapons use Strength, Piercing Weapons and Swords use Dexterity, and Ranged Weapons (and any other weapons that may use non-combat skills) use Intelligence.<br>
			Stats also translate to your active HP, Stamina, and Focus pools:
			* Hit Points (HP) - Strength + 50 / 2
			* Stamina (STAM) - Stamina = Dexterity
			* Focus (FOC) - Focus = Intelligence

			<br>

			Armor is flat damage reduction for damage of the associated type. At physical resist value of 50 would result in all damage of the Physical type being reduced by 50%. Damage reduction is applied after all skill and stat bonuses have been applied, in an effort to make fast low-speed weapons like Daggers more viable. Almost all weapons in the game do Physical damage, and as a consequence almost all armor has Physical Resistance as its primary armor value.

==Firearms and Ammunition==
Though Firearms use the Ranged Weapons skill for skillchecks, they do not function like other melee or ranged weapons. Firearms require specific ammunition like other ranged weapons, but unlike other ranged weapons they must be ''reloaded'' in order to fire, rather than being fired automatically with ammunition being deducted from your pack automatically. 
Weapons have ''magazines'' determined by their type- a revolver has six shots, a double barrel shotgun has two, a musket has one, and so on. 
When you equip a firearm, you will automatically attempt to reload it, and will be unable to fire it until it has completed reloading. You may halt and start reloads with [haltreload and [reload, or manually unload a weapon with [unloadfirearm. Halting a reload before it has completed may result in a partial reload for weapons with a magazine that holds multiple shots. You may only have one loaded weapon at a time for balance reasons. Un-equipping a firearm to your backpack or other container will result it saving its reload state, but equipping another firearm will immediately unload the weapon. Weapons placed on the ground are not subject to this rule, but may be picked up freely by anyone.

==Types of Firearm==

As with all other weapons, all Firearms have a base DPS of 6. Unlike all other weapons where DPS is simply calculated with swing speed vs damage, firearms take reload speed into account. As a result, a weapon like a revolver fires very quickly, every 0.9 seconds, but has a reload speed of 8 seconds. Single-shot firearms like the Musket are subject to the same reloading mechanics, and can be immediately fired upon reload. Firearms are split into three categories, pistol rifle and shotgun, but due to the nature of firearm design there is no simple damage to speed ratio of low/high mid/mid high/low like there is with other weapon types. A revolver fires very fast and does decent damage, whereas a flintlock pistol fires more slowly and does more damage per individual shot. A musket fires slowly and does massive damage, whereas a lever action rifle has a large magazine and fires very quickly, but does lower damage per individual shot. 
 
It is more useful to break firearms up into their tiers and ammunition: 
 
* '''Black Powder''' ''Single-Shot, slow firing, higher damage''
** '''Flintlock and Musket''' - Crude Cartridge Ammunition
** '''Blunderbuss''' - Crude Shot Ammunitiion
 
* '''Breechloaders''' ''Single or double shot, moderate speed and damage''
** '''Breechloader Pistol''' - Pistol Cartridges
** '''Breechloader Rifle''' - Rifle Cartridges
** '''Double Barrel Shotgun''' - Shotgun Shells
 
* '''Modern Firearms''' ''Multiple shots, fast firing, low to mid damage''
** '''Revolver''' - Pistol Cartridges
** '''Bolt Action & Lever Action Rifles''' - Rifle Cartridges
** '''Pump-Action Shotguns''' - Shotgun Shells
 
 
Firearms are subject to the same [sling and [holster commands as melee weapons, though most Pistols require a Holster item to be obtained and applied to the pistol first. You may also use [readyfirearm to make hammer-cocking noises on command for those tense standoff RP situations.
 
==Cover==
 
Cover, simply put, is hiding behind a person or object as to lessen your chances of being hit. Bullets always treat the first mobile in a direct path between the shooter and the target as their target when making to-hit checks, and will damage that mobile if they are hit. Friends and innocents can be hit, so be mindful of your target and what lies beyond it. Shooters can negate this by using the '''Aim''' Special Weapon Move.
 
Items, both static and non-static, act as cover. The higher the object relative to the shooter, the more cover is granted. Items placed on the ground such as crates and other objects function as cover, and stacking objects on top of each other to make the barricade higher will result in a higher bonus. Cover is not perfect though, and can at most give a 50% bonus to your defense chance from ranged attacks. Enemies who are above you will have an easier time shooting at players in cover, but do not gain any hit bonuses beyond that.

			The '''[Sheath''', '''[Sling''', or '''[Holster''' commands may be used to sling, sheath, or holster your weapon if it has a sling, sheath, or holster. Mechanically it will remain in your hands, but its graphics will change to show it has slung or sheathed, and it will be automatically flip back to its normal animation if you enter combat. This is so that you may have a weapon at the ready while not making the role-play faux pas of walking around social settings with a sword or gun drawn and pointed at everyone.
