Message: <blockquote data-quote="AaronOfBarbaria" data-source="post: 6997771" data-attributes="member: 6701872">I don't think you are correct about most characters - as in the majority of characters the entire player-base has experienced collectively - fitting to your expectations. And I know for sure that I wasn't talking about "all characters", since I said "most groups" rather than "all groups".Your experience must differ from mine in the extreme, as I have already mentioned my own character who wears medium armor - and it isn't a "stop-gap measure", it's legitimately the best choice for AC given the character's other stats and the campaign specifics - and that barbarians are a class built around not wearing armor at all, so definitely didn't come to mind for me when you said "classes that are built around that kind of armor."If that is the complaint, it isn't one that I find to make any sense. It's insisting upon optimizing a singular portion of the character over optimizing the character as a whole - and seems likely to include insisting upon optimizing to a specific campaign style whether that is the style of campaign being run or not.Rules change isn't the only possible solution. It isn't a likely solution, I admit, but a change of perspective - which could be gained by this "bickering"  (which is not how I characterized things prior to you choosing to use that negatively-charged word, I believed what was going on was simply a discussion) about when medium armor is or isn't actually already a mighty fine, even optimal, choice.</blockquote>
