Item Cards Item cards are acquired by spending gold in between scenarios or looting specific treasure tiles. All item cards a character equips will be placed below his or her character mat and can be used during a battle to augment his or her abilities.

Each character can equip only one item, one item, one item, up to two items OR one item, and up to a number of equal to half their level, rounded up.
