[QUOTE="Elethiomel, post: 4751869, member: 49897"] You're taking my post way out of proportion. Seriously. I had no intention of evoking trials. I have no notion that this is a court room. I have no notion that I am a prosecutor. I have no notion that you are on trial. Your condescension is not warranted. This is not a court room. This is the rules forum. It is a place to discuss rules. When interpreting rules, sometimes wording is very important. One such case, in my opinion, is the custom item pricing section which uses words such as "guidelines" and "estimate". Treating them as rules to be followed to the letter is, again in my opinion, misguided. I have significant experience as a GM and as a player, and in my experience having access to items such as the healing belt makes the game more fun. Resource management is something DnD has quite a lot of. a lot of it is tedious; items like the healing belt make interesting choices available (do I blow all three charges NOW or do I just blow one for more healing over a longer period?). Interesting choices is what makes the game mechanical side of DnD fun. Again, in my opinion. Hence my first point was raised for two reasons: I was concerned that you had misinterpreted the custom magic item pricing guidelines as ironclad rules. And, I was concerned that you were throwing away interesting choices (and hence fun) because they didn't fit those guidelines. You chose to ignore that point and went straight to my auxiliary point. I posted defensively (and I must admit, a little passive-agressively; sorry about that) and you give me back a post full of condescencion and sarcasm. That's my reading of the situation. [/QUOTE]
