[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 7333243, member: 55491"] Would those of you who wouldn't give out magic armour also not give out a ring of protection? Same reason - bounded accuracy breaking? I am thinking of making the ring of protection not increase AC above 20 (saving throw bonus still applies) in a bit of a nod to the old AD&D limitation. I am thinking that say attunable +1 chainmail of Fire resistance would be a decent item. It is a weaker overall AC but with some extra ability that makes it attractive. Do you give up your full plate and a point of AC for fire resistance?
