[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 4591253, member: 9789"] fba827: Yes, totally aware of the parcel thing, but thank you. Ah, thank you, this is what I did not remember. Altho looking at the text, it's still very confusing. I understand that NPCs should be restricted in some way, but the way it reads, you -subtract- the given value (+0 to +5) from the item: This makes no sense: that means a +2 item gives full benefit to a level 1 guy (since you SUBTRACT 0), but no benefit to a level 11 guy (since you subtract 2), and that you actually are TAKING AWAY 3 points from a level 26 guy (since you subtract 5). I know the copy editing in these books was horrible, but is this just another example or am I just reading it wrong? They actually said it twice on the same page, which seems worse. What makes MUCH more sense is if the +number was a MAXIMUM, not something you subtract. That way, a level 1 guy gets no bonus from a +2 item (which seems fair since it would be a big bonus for him), but a level 11 and level 26 guy get the full effect (which also seems fair). Has there been errata or can anyone else explain what they meant here? [/QUOTE]
