<h1>CALCULATE YOUR DEFENSE, MAGIC DEFENSE AND INITIATIVE</h1>
<p>Your Defense and Magic Defense scores are calculated as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your Defense is equal to your current Dexterity die size.</li>
<li>Your Magic Defense is equal to your current Insight die size.</li>
<li>Your Initiative modifier is equal to 0.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Your defenses will be further influenced by the armor and shields you are
wearing; your Initiative modifier will also be influenced by your choice of
armor.
</p>
<p>
Note that some game elements might temporarily alter your Attribute die sizes,
which will affect your Defense and Magic Defense (since these are based on the
current Attribute die size, not your base Attribute die size).
</p>
<p>
Camilla has a Defense score of 8, a Magic Defense score of 10 and no
Initiative modifier. Later on, her equipment choices will modify these
numbers.

<h2>PURCHASE STARTING EQUIPMENT</h2>
<p>
You get a total budget of 500 zenit to purchase equipment with. By default,
you can only purchase basic weapons and basic armor and shields; these items
are listed on the next four pages for easy reference. If you want to purchase
rare items (<a href="/books/core/#page-266">page 266</a>) or transports (<a
href="/books/core/#page-125"
>page 125</a
>), discuss it with the rest of your group.
</p>
<p>
To purchase a martial (E) item, you must first be able to equip it — a benefit
granted by specific Classes:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Darkblade</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and
martial armor.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Fury</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and martial
armor.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Guardian</strong> allows you to equip martial armor and martial
shields.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Sharpshooter</strong> allows you to equip martial ranged weapons and
martial shields.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Weaponmaster</strong> allows you to equip martial melee weapons and
martial shields.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Write any items you purchase on your sheet and take note of their effects;
remember that ranged weapons do not require you to track ammunition.
