So, yeah, everyone. Update on my character: I changed characters, I started out as The Wanderer this time. I beat the first boss, died to the Tower Knight. And I saved that golden knight guy 2 times.

Can all characters equip any kind of armor or do I have to put in stats to strength to equip Plate? All my guy starts with is Rugged Leather. Plus, where can I find better stuff in general?
