Arm of Nyr

[LokiDR]

Well, if it's only +2, I'd hardly call that "excessive"...

They stack with bull's strength and you can have two of them.

"Yup, time to get the old arms cut off."

Let's play, Name That (paraphrased) Quote!

I did it, by a PC no less. It is not much of a problem in D&D, curing being what it is.

Thrikreen.

LOL.

How about legs of Nyr for my mount?

Loki: I love your sig.

As for the argument: I suppose that in a campaign where magic items (including the Arm of Nyr) are readily purchasable, then the +4 to strength that stacks with Bull's Strength may become a problem. Say...in the Forgotten Realms. Since I've mostly played in somewhat more restricted environments, I haven't seen it become a problem.

Imagine a barbarian were-tiger with two Arms of Nyr raging... +20 to strength!

Thanks

As for the arms, I judge items based on how they can most be abused. When bought one as a character, I had all of core rules as a shopping cart, so that is an issue as well.

Anyone want to discuss infinite buying power in the hands of the PCs?

LOL.

I'm not kidding. We're all munchkins over here. It must be the water.

Actually I think that the Arm is quite abusive. How about a thri-kreen with four of those???
