How do you feel about a game with no weapons or armor? (sh.itjust.works)

Would you play a game with no combat items? There would still be items to bolster social interactions, stealth, and other out-of-combat activities.

Would this impede your sense of advancement, or are character feats and non-combat items enough?

I am working on a game with a magic system for combat. It is already complex enough that I prefer not to have combat items. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I am aware of them, but haven't read them. In the past World of Darkness has thrown me off with its lack of conciseness, but maybe I should give those a shot. I remember hearing something about a very philosophical and open-ended take on magic in one of those that did seem intriguing.

Can't say I like the idea of specifying combat items, but having them all mechanically identical. Seems simpler to just not specify them at all then.
