I had a DM who wouldn't let people wear Robes and Cloaks at the same time, which made it worse. Who wants to choose between a Cloak of Displacement or a Robe of Scintillating Colors?

They should have made Indomitable like Legendary Resistance.

You're not wrong, sadly...

Well we can always go back to Zork rules for darkness!

He drives people crazy with his constant droning about his fickle girlfriend and his sickly aunt.

It depends, if I only have a 17 or less Str, I might as well put it in Dex for the 3 more points of AC. The 3 hp/level is probably better in the long run, but surviving the early levels is a lot easier with a low AC (just from my experience).

I think it was just a consequence of the game's design. Scenario 1: your 7th level Fighter with 50 hit points goes on an adventure, after a couple fights, he's looking at hoping he doesn't run into a random encounter so he can make it back to town and relax in the Inn for a couple of weeks...

You can't really count on high Dexterity though, so most of the time, those items aren't going to drop you that low in AC. And using a magic shield can have it's own concerns (plus, unless it's a 2e only thing, you can only use your shield against a set number of attacks each turn). Modules...

There's a few from the infamous Castle Greyhawk I like: Drider-Man Cretin (like an Ettin, but not as bright) Minitaurs

Yeah, I mean, what, Fighters at high level adding a large bonus to ad20 roll is bad, but a level 2 Cleric doing it is ok? Channel Divinity: Guided Strike Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to strike with supernatural accuracy. When you make an attack roll, you can use your...

Ok, so I went over Bone Hill. No Gauntlets of Ogre Power, but wow, is this adventure stacked with magic items! Granted, I don't think the players are supposed to get most of the NPC's items (but at least one item is hidden behind a secret door, so I have to assume that some of them are...

Caveat: if you play official adventures instead of using the tables, Rings of Protection are all over the place.

I want to know what happened to sunrods.

I probably shouldn't have said 3.e was the turning point because it was a new edition...it was more that a lot more players were in contact with one another at that time thanks to the internet. Suddenly people were sharing notes about, well, everything. Just one example of what this brought...

I'm saying that putting yourself in extreme danger to save others without any protection is something people would maybe not be inclined to play in a fantasy game. Micah said he wanted touch only healing, I pointed out the problems that brings with it in D&D combat, he disagreed that it was...

My vote (even though I'm not a fan of it's 5e art):

Yeah, so? I wouldn't want to be one, would you?

While being in just as much danger as the person you're healing, if not more? Knowing that nobody has any ability to protect you from monsters, arrows, and fireballs? Seems like you'd end up spending most of your time healing yourself, or laying on the ground dying hoping there's a medic who...

Don't forget the mutant white dragon...
