Due to recent public 'outcry' we, your loving admins, have decided to modify character equipment slightly.
Every character, upon creation, is now allowed ONE SMALL rp-only item that goes in the 'Personal Item' slot.
That can be anything from a small instrument to a needle and thread, but it can only be used in rp, of course, that tends to be a lot of things. But it cannot be used to hold a third weapon or anything.
All pre-existing characters may add the slot and an item to their equipment. For an example of where the slot goes, see mine.
