I fully understand that this is a low fantasy world, but this is something i simply HAVE to ask for, for modding sake, if for no other reason.
Please implement support for item properties.
So for example the archetypes of a melee fighters are 1 handed weapon + shield OR a handed weapon.
The advantage of 1h + shield is obvious, you have attack and protection, and meanwhile 2h gets just the damage.
What i would love to do is put various bonuses to items. So for example a two handed sword could have +20 health bonus; certain light armors could give a small +ranged combat bonus; certain super heavy armor could give +melee combat bonus; that sort of stuff.
In short, the ability to add character scope modifiers to equipment.
