Held Items
Source GM Core pg. 136
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.
