Studium | No Exit character gear preview

Let’s dive into how Gear works in our upcoming release, Studium | No Exit. Gear cards offer a range of abilities, armor, and stat buffs. There are three primary types of Gear, as you’ll see below. There are also scroll cards to further push your abilities to the limits and help you fend off the darkest forces that the Studium has to offer. Let’s get into it!

Armor

Armor cards typically include temporary hit points that can be added to your Character. Special types of armor can also include stat buffs and in rare cases, special abilities that can be taken as actions.

Weapons

Weapons may include special requirements or traits, but will almost always provide an attack action. You will find three other indicators: The range of a weapon, the number of times you can hit a target during a single attack, and the specific color of Damage Dice that you will roll for each successful hit.

Accesories

Most accessories will improve your combat abilities. Just like armor and weapons, they can include special actions, traits that buff stats, temporary hit points, or even stranger ways to give you the advantage in battle. Pay close attention to the way that your accessory might help give you an edge. You’ll almost certainly need it.

Primary Scroll Cards

There are two classes of scroll cards. Only one primary scroll can be equipped. You perform the rites on the scroll and it binds to you and your weapon. If you remove a primary scroll, it will fall to ash. This scroll defines your attunement which may give you an advantage in battle. In order to gain that attunement, you will also need to equip a matching Secondary Scroll.

Secondary Scroll Cards

Any secondary scroll can be equipped or unequipped in any secondary scroll slot. However, any status effects, bonuses, or secondary actions will require a matching Primary Scroll on your character board. This is also required in order to gain attunement. Secondary scrolls can still be used as indicated by Engagement cards, regardless of whether or not they are attuned. They can be dropped, traded, or unequipped freely and without spending an action.



That’s it for this preview! Gear will play a major roll in consistently changing your play style and the ways that you interact with the Studium’s dungeons. Within the Studium, there is a near-constant arms race. You will be challenged to improve your gear in addition to honing your skills if you hope to survive.
