[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3662028, member: 29014"] (OOC: If you're right, it just makes me hate the supposedly "LA +0" Warforged even more, and I already strongly contest their balance, particularly the ones that start out with Adamantine Fullplate :lol: I'm going to say that the 'you are considered to be wearing heavy armour' bit in the same sentence indicates to me that my interpretation is possible and that it is very likely that the author intended for that sentence to make the Adamantine Warforged count as being reduced by heavy armour but wasn't smart enough to word it tightly enough to prevent this issue. If I did not think it was possible that my interpretation was correct, I would be forced to apply the other ruling by LEB rules--as it is, we need to get a ruling on this. I'm afraid that my rule of thumb will always be "If there are two similarly likely interpretations and one of them is worse for Warforged, pick that one".) *As Anvuss begins to rush forward 120 feet, one of them easily hits with the shocking jolt, nearly deactivating Anvuss temporarily.* (OOC: 6 Damage) *With Anvuss only 25 feet away, they drop their ranged weapons and flank him with their air blades.* "Just one more strike--it may be harder to hit him this way, but better than firing off at point blank into the brawl." *Both attacks clang against Anvuss's armour harmlessly.* (OOC: Anvuss's turn. He is flanked) [/QUOTE]
