Weapons may possess more than one quality for instance, a bow is both Penetrating and Rapid.
A special property of defensive equipment is Deflect. Shields have the Deflect property and enable a wielder to use the Deflect defense skill. Unlike the Dodge and Parry skill, you may only use Deflect if using a Deflect-enabled shield. Bigger, stronger shields grant bigger bonuses to the Deflect skill.
