Original Equipment Restrictions

(Tynian's notes: These two notes announce upcoming class-based equipment restrictions, to take effect "soon." Prior to this change, all classes could use all types of equipment. Partially wikified.)

As far as when dual-classing will be offered, introducing random equipment was the first step. Dual-classing will not be offered until sometime after the equipment restrictions go into effect.
