[QUOTE="Magic Rub, post: 205660, member: 3619"] Dear combatants in this futile argument, please take a rest, & lay down your arms for a brief story-time/rant intermission... (Start playing soothing elevator music here) Not unlike a computer from the 1980's my brain has a fixed limited storage capacity, with a total lack of the easily adaptable & upgradeable functionality that today's computers have. Let's use the "Commodore 64" for proposes of illustration. Now before I began to play D&D my brain space was taken up in part with the mundane simple tasks & information in life, basic motor skills, watching TV, eating, hygiene, school, playing with toy trucks, with loads of room left to spare even on such a small hard drive. Then along came AD&D 2nd Edition. With the new found discovery my brains spare space was now nearly 1/2 full. Then I began to DM, & my Brain was about 3/4 full. Then the dreaded "PLAYERS OPTIONS" came out and filled up the rest of my brain & about 5 additional data tapes. I was a little mad about that because I had to give up my copy of Mouser. Then one dreaded day my Commodore's tape player broke & I had to give up on either the "Players option" information, or my Personal Hygiene data. Now luckily it was about this time that the 3rd Edition reared it's ugly head. So I happily dumped the D&D section of my brain, & reloaded it with all the new and condensed information. I was happy my brain had room to spare again, it was as though I was once again a child. Though I now have no data tape player, & no way to acquire a new one due to obsolescence, I have no fear for things are simple once more. Or are they? You (collectively) have seeded a fear in my mind that is unparalleled in its charge. If arrow heads are this difficult to adjudicate then what about something complex like caltrops sheathed in adamantine, or magical cot pieces, or celestial doughnuts?
