[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 7925157, member: 6801228"] Honestly? I kind of like this to a degree. Sure, it would be nice to have a wider range of weapons, but not for stuff like overcoming resistances. I'd much prefer to choose to wield a sword because I get +1d6 lightning damage as compared to the axe where I can gain temp hp when I strike with it, that is an interesting decision. Going to the blacksmith and saying "Well, I need a sword, a cold iron sword for fey, a red steel sword for aberrations, an iron wood sword for rust monsters, a true ice sword for fire elementals, a silver sword for demons, a..." when they all do the exact same thing, it just matters what they hurt more... That is complexity for the sake of bookkeeping, not interesting decisions to be made in your loadout. I think they went a little too far, we definetly need more interesting magical items (especially for Druids, Monks, Barbarians, Clerics and Rangers) but I like cutting back on that endless list of "special materials" [/QUOTE]
