That's not a hard and fast rule by any means, though: Dictionary.com: 28. to project (a bullet or the like) by or as if by discharging from a gun. 30. to hurl; throw: to fire a stone through a window. 39. to hurl a projectile. 45a to discharge (as weapons, ammunition, etc.) Wiktionary...

Well..... There ya go! You just answered your own question. Or I'm roleplaying a guy who is a cheapskate. Or a guy who's saving money to buy something else. Or a guy with metal-phobia. Or a guy who just friggin' loves leather. There's really a million options here.

Well, some people (like you, I guess) want a game with perfect mathematical balance, and prefer to "roll-play." Other people (like me) would rather "role-play." I don't care if studded armor is 1pt better, or if a maul is better than everything else. If I want to play a fighter with leather...

I was just thinking that.... Paraxis' complaints are what I see as positives. And I just disagree with the armor and weapon charts being crap.

So cramped and cluttered and wordy!! But I realize that this is just a pre-gen. Still, can't wait to get the blank character sheets so I can trim the fat.

That's how I've always played D&D. I never understood this concept of perfect balance in a game. When people try to play that way it feels like they're missing the whole point of the game, which is to have fun. I mean, I guess if they actually have fun making everything mathematically...

Healing potions by the "bucketload" and "automatic" clerics are both the DM's call. Despite what I implied earlier, now that I think about it, I've never run or been in a game where either of those things existed. I usually only have such clerics in very large cities in my games (and they cost...

I never understood this train of thought.... I don't know how many games I've played in that didn't have a cleric or anyone with healing powers. We always just carried healing potions, or simply ran away from the fight if we started getting trounced. Worst case scenario, someone dies and you...
