I totally agree with Lanefan since its how i have been playing D&D before 4e came along, although my memory could be playing tricks on my mind, after all it was so many ages ago...

I think two weapon would be Really sweet for the fighter because with it he could mark 2 enemies every round and double his enemy locking skills. The paladin has some powers that get better with the greater amount of enemies around him so i think it could be good for him as well. Fighters...

i know they are Laterns rock, they take some 1337 skills to make, not everyone had one. but its still harder to make plate like 4 months of everyday work with helpers harder. thats why its so fun to point it out =p

Lol, i dont really understand what justifies fanboys, like some religious fanatics or terrorists who cant think straight to save their lives but. Just to make something clear, i for one am in love with 4e, not to the point of blindness as some obviously are but a real kind of affection. I had...

magic items dont need to be traded

Congratulations! We both have our own solutions ;) Like i said, many posts prior, Dwarves influenced humans, currency is commonplace, lots of need for weapons and armor, Plate costs 200gp players start with plate (with background tied justifications), artisans have gps, merchants have gps...

Awesome :D

[/I] Sorry, i meant the middle ages either way, some pieces of Plate began to be worn around the 13th century but was only around the late 14th that the Field plate armor was developed here is a list of what parts where developed when http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_medieval_armour...

OOoops, very very sorry i hate when that happens

Very bad use of logic and wikipedia there to say what you wanted you did see the part where it specified that only high paid mercenarys and Landed Nobles could afford Plate Also, 20 days of service from a men at arms was very expensive and he didnt get 1shilling every day of his life, only in...

Engilbrand, if you had read my posts (instead of what you wanted to read in them) you wold see that this is not the case of my game, none of what you said. also, i find it hard to believe that a few of you dont stop to consider that before 4e we used to play rpgs with more realistic prices and...

Wrong Fitz While the plate from 4e can be and probably is field plate Field plate cost was around 2000gp in ad&d (the most historicaly accurate version of D&D), that is still a lot more than 10 lanterns Joust armor is Joust Armor, Full Plate is Full Body Plate, covering every part of the body...

the armor from "A knight's tale" was field plate armor, easier to make, a lot less protection and developed earlier than the full plate, "adornments" such as gooves from gothic plate made the FPs very superior than unadorned ones, since it pratically eliminated the Plates vulnerability to Maces...

Shadow guidex The roman plates were made of two types of material, mostly. One was bronze, relatively easy enough to make a mold and shape it through it. the other was the Lorica Segmentata, which was strips of metal attached to leather straps. The roman thecnology for armor was indeed very...

In my game not only currency is commonplace but also weapons, armor, the need of those and very skilled smiths that can make them, most of all this was learned from the dwarves, who also have a habit of selling them to human lands. For those reasons, a full plate costs 200gp, since i added the...

How hard do you think making full plate is then? i can tell you, a lot more, lot more work and time too and it needs some mad skills to fit the person who will use it. by the end of the dark ages only 6 places in europe (and the world) were known to have crafters good enough to make them. A...

You might want to check my version of the Druid i made for my campaing: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=226844

I dont know, i think its okay, it requires an attack vs AC roll, it cant be improved throught the use of magic equipment, so at higher levels it wont matter as much. its an immediate reaction so it can only be used once per round and its only effective if the dragonborn doesnt already have some...

i too am house ruling on the plate specially since i have good memory and remember plate costing from 4000-10000gp on ad&d, the same on Steel Pieces on Dragon Lance and in 3e around 1250gp. While leather, was a lot easier to make an always cost around 1% or less of that. What Really bothers me...

You're right, i misread that... either way, its something im applying in my game, if my players want to have a 4 i'll let them, its kinda strange if no one is ever weak, clumsy, frail, stupid, clueless or unattractive.
