* '''Natural weapons''': These include attacks like Bite, Claw, Talons, Tentacle and Hoof often found on animals or monsters. These attacks often have 0 length meaning that a monster attacking with a Bite would get poisoned from Atlantian Coral Armor. They often have little damage, relying on the creature's strength.
* '''Sleep Vines''': Found on Mandagoras and Manikins, the sleep vines do little damage but they also cause fatigue on their target and are potentially devastating.
* '''Drain Life''': Some units such as Illithids and Vampires attack by draining life from their targets at close range. This attack does damage on the target and transfers at max 5 HP per hit to the attacker.
* '''Paralyze''': Paralyze is found on some units, notably Disposed Spirits and void summons, this touch attack paralyzes the target if it fails to resist the attack. Additional paralyzis counts as damage so units with only Paralyze as attack can kill units.
* '''Drain Strength''': This is another attack found on void summons and unded. This attack damages the strength of the target for duration of the battle and eventually starts doing damage.
* '''Touch of Leprosy''': This is a rare attack found on some Foul Spawn. This attack causes Disease upon a succesful strike.

* '''Ammo''': Number of ammunition in the weapon. If the weapon runs out of ammo in battle it cannot be used during that battle or other battle in same turn. Weapon ammo is replenished during turn processing.

Basic items

These are the default armor and weapons of units in the game. Their properties are analogous to those of forged items; for example, a suit of chain mail is similar to the forged Weightless Chain Mail except it causes more fatigue when worn. Basic items may not be traded, though they are removed when a commander is given a forged item for that slot. If you later remove the forged item, the original Basic Item reappears at the commander's slot. Note that some Basic Items are actually better than some of the (lesser) forged Items. Make sure to check the commander's stats before and after equipping him with an forged item.

Forged items

In the mysterious and magical world of Dominions hundred of different magic items exist. Mages with sufficient skill can produce marvelous items of the forge if they have researched the recipes or blueprints for thoese items with the Construction school of magic. These items can then be equiped by all Commander units be it mages, warriors, Pretender Gods or void summons as long as they have aproriate item slots.

More information about forging can be found here.
