[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9061140, member: 7030563"] Both Full Plate armor and Rapiers were developed in the late middle ages, although the exact definition of a Rapier is subject to some debate. The poster above does have a point about ball bearings, although the "Ball Bearings" sold in a D&D shop are not really ball bearing but rather just the balls without the races, it is not a bag of 1000 bearings. Actual bearings using rolling balls would be the modern era (19th centurry). The balls themselves could have conceivably been built by a Davinci rolling mill, but although he designed it, he was not ever known to have actually built one, and it would have been renaissance before they were in common use. In any case even Renaissance is primitive compared to modern technology or the things Magic can do in D&D. I mean it is a world that has not yet invented trains, light bulbs or in most cases non-Magical gunpowder, but Wizards can fly and teleport and even at the lowest levels can create light without fire.
