[b][u]Gadget(s)[/u][/b]

Armor/Special clothing may have an enchantment on them, but this is unlikely if one's character already has an enchanted weapon. DO NOT go overboard with enchantment(s). Not every character has to start with armor, though it is advised so long as the Staff don't have a problem with it. Those who are primarily mages usually don't wear armor, so keep that in mind.)
