Now, a functional and strict item managing system finally restricts types and amounts of weapons and other types of items allowed, based on unit classes as follow:
Warriors (swords, heavy gear)
Archers (bows, quivers of arrows)
SpellCasters (rods, runesuits)
Special weapon users (they can't use any extra weapons)
No unit shall use more than 2 items that require to be hand-held (you can no longer have 2 swords and a shield for example).
All units that don't have the appropriate class will not be able to use items restricted to that class.->No more aprotodons with 3 armors 2 shields and virtual immortality, or vampire with 3 dragon swords onehitting everything!!
