In the real world, weapons are always superior, but in a fantastical world this isn't always true. Imagine if all the weapons you had available were paper fans and rolls of newspaper, or were so heavy as to slow you down. If equipment limitations are so important, then mages (who never wear armor and only use weapons at lower levels) should never exist.It seems silly and distant from the 'real world' but it's not necessary dumb, and is far less illogical that spells (by logic i refer to internal consistencies- mirror image being a prime example). For a monk, they are their own magic weapon and armor, and whether or not that is 'dumb' is more a matter of opinion than one of fact.</blockquote>
