However, each Armor also has a secondary, overtax keyword ability that can be triggered during this engage in addition to the item's standard ability.Rulebook p. 29 or WeaponWeaponWeapon items provide advantages in battle, often interacting with skills. Each has a standard ability that is resolved as part of an adventurer's engage. However, each Weapon also has a secondary, overtax keyword ability that can be triggered in addition to the item's standard ability when using the Weapon to engage.Rulebook pp. 29, 61.

4. TraitsTraitTraits do not have specific rules (except for traits of the Armor subtype) and can only interact with abilities that refer to them by name.Rulebook p. 29: These words are the item's traits; they become relevant when referred to by other game effects.
5. Text Effect: Describes the item's abilities and, if needed, the timing at which those abilities are triggered.
