[QUOTE="noodohs, post: 8543666, member: 7033037"] I did actually ask several... But to be extra clear: [LIST] [*]Is the intent that adventuring gear should arbitrarily follow different rules for repair than other items, as would be the case in the example I provided? [*]As Micah suggested, if that's not the case, should mending be able to move an item from broken to damaged? [*]If mending can physically repair broken equipment to that extent, would the mending happen before, after, or during the maintenance process? [*]If mending can add an expertise die to maintenance checks, is that only if the item is actually broken to begin with since it specifies that you have to be able to cast the spell on it to get the die? This would imply that mending can repair broken items. But if that's not the case, does that mean that mending can be used to help maintain, say, rusted or acid-damaged gear (which would normally not fall under the purview of the spell)? [/LIST] There are a few things that are implied by the spell description, but not really explicitly stated outright, so I think it would be nice to have it be a bit more explicit about the intentions. And yes, I realize that you can rule anything however you want in your own games, but I have grown so tired of arguing with people over how things are intended to work and having to Google random tweets mid-game just to figure out what contradictory ruling they actually meant when they wrote the thing. Referring to O5e, I mean, not you guys. [/QUOTE]
