Joshua Ideas

Ideas for armour assignment:

0. Starting set

1. Early game set

2. Early-mid game set

3. Random non set items, mixed early to mid game

4. Joke set

5. Mid-late game set

6. End game set 1

7. End game set 2

8. Ultra rare unmentioned set

Idea for weapon assignment:
Have 16(4 bits) items total instead of 2x9(18 items but 8 bits) with non double-handed items being assignable to either(or both?) hands.

Near the beginning of the game, the player gets to choose between magic type 1 or 2. Later on, the player gets an upgrade for the type they chose before. Once they get type 3 they can go back and get the early game version of the other type which some enemies are weak too in order to make even a weaker magic weapon useful. Armour can impact weapon stats so unlikely to be that bad.

0. Fist

1. Initial sword

2. Early game sword

3. Mid game sword

4. Mid-late game sword

5. End game sword
