[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 4093977, member: 14291"] Apologies if this was covered in another thread and I missed it. I found the following on another forum. It's supposedly a screen shot of a section on 4e preview on armor and coinage. I can't verify that it is, but if it is - color me very unimpressed. [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/benimoto/2307597095/sizes/o/[/url] Medium armor - gone. Simpler isn't always better. This one's a minor issue, though. All armor takes 5 minutes to put on. - So leather armor isn't any easier to put on that a chainmail suit, or plate mail? Simpler isn't always better. This one seems like simplicity for simplicity's sake. (And don't start with the "you can house rule it" stuff.) Masterwork only as magic armor - unnecessary change. Starleather, spiritmail, godplate - I'm not really digging these. For all the weak accusations of 4e being video-gamey, these names definitely make me think of a video game. But the prizewiiner = ASTRAL DIAMONDS! - WTF? Are you kidding me? I can see it now, perfectly cut diamonds scattered throughout the Astral Plane. How do you mine the Astral Plane, exactly? To each their own, I guess, but I'm underwhelmed by these changes. [/QUOTE]
