[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5755332, member: 58416"] So, in a world where it's possible to build sentient machines (Warforged) using magic, it's impossible to make rubber tubes? I would be more inclined to believe that the world of D&D (especially as presented by the most recent editions) would have a few technologies earlier than Earth's history had them -especially with the help of magic. Aside from Beer Hats, I also feel it would be reasonable for D&D characters to come up with a lot of equipment which would be similar to US Army Infantry gear. In particular, backpacks which have quick release straps make sense so you could drop your gear more quickly to engage in an encounter without being encumbered. Another idea which makes sense would be what the military calls web gear. In a world where adventuring into dungeons is a career choice, it seems logical to me that items which cater to that career choice would be invented.
