Held Items

Usually, held items should require manipulation to use, with Interact activations. They're most often tools, implements, items that can be thrown, and the like. Imagine a PC physically using the item and what that looks like. Remember that held items are more challenging for martial characters to use, compared to spellcasters or hands-free characters that specialize in unarmed attacks. A soldier might have to give up a two-handed weapon to use a held item, and so is less likely to use one. This means you might want to design held items specifically for non-martial characters, or have them be items a martial character uses outside of combat.
