| Play Attack Voice | If true, the character will play their attack voice clip when animated abilities are used. |

## Next Steps
* Add a weapon skill to a [Weapon](/scriptable-objects/items/weapon.md) to allow it to use these shared properties.
* Add a weapon skill to [Capabilities](/shared-properties/capabilities.md), allowing any character with those capabilities to wield weapons that require the skill.
