how many things can I hold?

not sure if this is an intentional bug or a 'feature' but there does not seem to be a limit to what a character can hold..

You are holding a pair of briefs, a nice shirt, and a sword.

Which holds true while wielding weapons as well.  I would recommend a limit of 1 item being held/wielded per hand at any given time.

I believe wielding is limited to one thing per hand. Did you see differently?

There is no limit to what a character can hold by default, but if desired you should be able to pass a limit to Equipment.new().
