Having run a prot warrior myself, no. Some of them are similar, but the implementation is very different. The comparison is about as valid as the feat-enhanced uses of Bardic music.

So, that would be the opposite of what I actually said, right? Lets try this again. :cool: Assume I'm playing, for example, Baldurs Gate. As I play, I make choices, explore areas, kill things and take thier stuff. I do this through the medium of a simulation, in this case generated and...

Uh, bully for you? So I take it you agree with the bulk of my position?

This is not necessarily a problem - if you use Thinuan weapons (CW) then you can kill in such a way as to prevent raising. However, using the weapon to kill again or breaking it allows the original victim to be raised, so as long as the PCs have a chance to get their hands on the weapon used...

Shows what I know :D

It may be a minor thing, but also remember that the adamantine body feat grants DR 2/adamantine, while adamantine full plate grants DR 3/-. Granted, that's not a lot of difference but it does mean that your DR can be bypassed by golems and other adamantine warforged.

Doesn't that one go- "Hey! a Twenty!"
