[QUOTE="ppaladin123, post: 5792352, member: 60923"] In a world filled with monsters that dissolve and eat metal weapons and armor, you'd figure that some wizard somewhere would have figured out how to enchant magic items against this. There are examples of far more extreme alchemy and transmogrification in D&D. At the very least you'd expect some sort of protective oil coating that could be sold to adventurers in areas where rust monsters are sighted. That said, I am fine with limited use of the buggers as long as it is not done in a vindictive and jerky manor. Scenario 1: "You are headed in a network of caves that stretch beneath the forest." Hmm, Can I make a Nature Check? ::rolls:: "This is the sort of place that rust monsters and other nasties tend to use as dens. You might want to prepare." :) Scenario 2: "After a long night of drinking at the tavern in celebration of your slaying of the dragon and capture of several magic items of worth, you are ready for bed." Great, I place my armor on the dresser and I crawl into bed. "There is a rust monster in your bed; roll initiative!" :rant:! [/QUOTE]
