[QUOTE="Chaltab, post: 6319976, member: 6775806"] Is 'Ring of Protection against Petrification' a thing? Because that in and of itself is problematic. Unless you know you're going to be facing something that petrifies, like a Gorgon or a Basalisk, then it's an oddly specific thing to be dumping money into. A ring that enhances the Petrification defense stat Huh? I'm not sure what value dump stats have to people interested in role-play*. You can do that without stats, see tumblr, livejournal, every forum ever... (Also, it's spelled [B]role[/B], as with an actor? Roll means 'tumble' or what a ball does along the ground. 'Roll play' makes me think of... something not safe for work. Or maybe Katamari Damacy.) By dump stats I just meant the stats that your character doesn't need to focus on because they don't really have bearing on his or her job. Like STR for Wizards or INT for Barbarians. Heh.
