This is armor made of cloth or some other light fabric.
Rifle-like thrower of bolts/arrows. Not to be confused with a bowcaster.

Items used to protect hands. Often infused with magic to strengthen the user.
An especially large axe, most often double-headed and designed as a weapon.

A large, slow sword that is wielded using two hands.
A Heavy Crossbow is a more powerful version of the standard crossbow. It is harder to load, but delivers a bolt with greater force.

In many games, the player can find notes that contain story information, hints, codes to unlock doors, and so on. Especially common when there are no other characters around for the player to talk to.
Armor made from metal plates designed to protect a user from injury. Usually more beneficial than armor made from chain links or leather.
A potion is any sort of liquid, usually brewed by an alchemist, that replenishes the health, mana, or energy of the player, or causes damage to an enemy. Potions are extremely common in role-playing games.
Often rings represent power in games. Games that have rings are mostly fantasy games.
Armor made of overlapping metal plates, allowing both protection and flexibility.
A roll of parchment or paper inscribed with writing, symbols, pictures, etc.
The premier choice in your defensive needs. A great companion for any one handed sword, which in addition to blocking can be used for advanced maneuvers like Shield Bashes.
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
