+<h2>Item Types</h2>
+
+<p>Though the item types are mostly self-explanatory, a few of them are less obvious.
+Thus, a detailed look at them is reasonable.</p>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>No Item</dt>
+<dd>This is intended for items that have been deleted - since items are referenced by
+their index in a list, anything that changes the index of an item is something to avoid,
+so when an item (other than the last in the list) is deleted, the editor just sets its
+type to No Item.</dd>
+<dt>1-Hand weapon</dt>
+<dt>2-Hand weapn</dt>
+<dd>Weapons are wielded in the hand. The item level indicates the amount of damage the
+weapon does (specifically, the size of the die). They cannot have reagent abilities.</dd>
+<dt>Gold</dt>
+<dd>Gold is a type of item that only appears on the ground. When you pick it up, it is
+transformed into currency rather than appearing in your inventory. It cannot have special
+abilities.</dd>

+<dt>Wand</dt>
+<dd>Potions, scrolls, and wands cannot be equipped. They can only have usable abilities. When a potion is used, a drinking sound is played; also, a potion's weight is multiplied by its charges. Other than this, the only difference between potions, scrolls, and wands is how they're chosen for random treasure generation.</dd>
+<dt>Tool</dt>
+<dd>Tools are equipped in a unique tool slot. They can have general or usable
+abilities.</dd>
+<dt>Shield</dt><dt>Shield 2</dt>

+damage it can block. There is no difference between the two shield types, except that you
+can only have two shields equipped if they are of different types. Shields can only have
+general or usable abilities.</dd>
+<dt>Armor</dt>
+<dd>Armor is worn on your torso. The item level determines the maximum amount of damage it

+<dd>Non-use objects cannot be equipped. They can only have usable or reagent
+abilities.</dd>
+<dt>Pants</dt>
