But saying that a warhammer will break because you beat a stone wall is just lame. Why? Because there is no basis for that decision (I haven't seen one yet). A DM call like that only proves that your DM sucks and you need to find a new one. Consistency is what I'm talking about, and just plain logic.If you want to make a hammer/stone wall rule like that, fine. But what's your basis? Have you even given any thought before making said lame ruling? These are the questions that I would ask a DM. Why? Simple. I want to know what the rules are. Not because I want the rules to be a certain way, but so I know how to play in his games. The more I know, the fewer questions I have to ask during the game.Like I said, unless you have wear-n-tear or weapon/armor/equipment breakage rules, a DM shouldn't waste my time with a baseless ruling like that. Don't get me wrong though, I think rules like that might be kinda cool, I'm just not interested in coming up with any rules 'cause it just doesn't mean that much to me.</blockquote>
