When you have weapon with additional passive effects like the shields or quarterstaff, do they take effect when not in the normal equipment slot?

No, they don't. But since you can instantly swap between weapons it should be pretty easy to pick and choose which buff you want. I.e. if closing in on a ranged enemy switch to shield for the damage reduction, and then swap back to main weapon for the actual hits.

This should indeed be clarified because they are implied to be "equipped" (but in a special slot) and as such one would expect the bonuses to work unless told otherwise.

Speaking of clarifying information about the duelist, the character description should also clarify why the rapier is "unique" so people don't mistakenly think it's an endgame equipment like the rogue's cloak or huntress's bow.

People don't think the warrior's armor is a late game equipment... There really isn't a parallel here.

I never mentioned the warrior's seal, but anyway, do you not attach it to your end game armor?
