[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 5920297, member: 7006"] I wonder if they just cut n pasted the 3.5 armor table and did a very basic pass on it just to be able to include something in the rules for the DMs (for buying/selling and whatnot)... but which they haven't even attempted to get them up to speed yet? As has been said... they've been working more on getting the base mechanics right, which is why the monsters are wonky, and the armor/weapon/equipment charts don't make a whole lot of sense (both in numbers and in pricing). That's going to be the big headache of this whole process... them sending out bits and bobs of rules info they haven't done passes on yet (but which DMs need to run their games), and the DMs then turning around and sending most of their survey points about those bits and bobs. You almost wonder if they end up HAVING to send out the character creation rules sooner rather than later, since so many players are already trying to reverse engineer the stats and pointing out things which are "errors" based on what we were given (even though there might be hidden rules we haven't been given yet that make the pregen character numbers correct.) They'll get sick of all the "corrections" the players keep sending them, since we don't have all the information necessarily. [/QUOTE]
