Equipment

- Each Gladiator will get a set of equip for head, body, arms, hands, legs and feet. (some of it will be generic, other personal, but the stats on it will all be equal). This is the equipment that the chars will normally load with. Equipment does count in the Arena too, so make sure you are fully equipped before fights.
- There are also 6 statted items for neck, waist, finger and ankles, which will be used for scattering or burying in the Arena before some fights. This equipment will disappear on logout.
- It is possible to max the stats with a full set of equipment (including the scattered items).

Special Class skills

The Gladiators will be able to use the class specific skills, with a few exceptions.
- Spellcasters will be able to enchant, Gypsies to tinker, and Thieves to poison weapons. There will be some spare weapons available, to cope with the timers and failed attempts.
- Fighters will be able to disarm, and thieves to steal, which could lead to interesting fight situation. Those that like to fight drunk can do so by buying Local specialty in the Gladiator School shop.
- There is also a very useful net, for the Classes that don't have access to the snare skill and its equivalents.
