Message: <blockquote data-quote="Smerg" data-source="post: 3918558" data-attributes="member: 57427">I think this is a sad way to go.Why?Ok, a mage or cleric has the ability to warp reality or request miracles and they 'need' to strap on some hunk of metal??  Please, they should be able to protect themselves with their magic or faith.To say that they must strap on a hunk of metal to be safe is to say they have magical talent of a rock or the faith of a worm.These classes should be able to automatically summon/create/transform in someway their surroundings to give them protection without resorting to some blacksmith's efforts.It is real meta-gaming complaint that makes people clamour for armour for their mages or clerics.  It is the claim that without metal bolted to their buttocks that they are going to get hit and eliminated.Yet, instead of thinking creatively and saying that they need to inheritantly summon a magical shield to protect them every day (something that is used in dozens of other RPGs) you are orgasmically happy to put on a hunk of rotting hide mixed with rusting metal and go dancing in circles.Ugh!  The imagery for me is terrible!This is not a source of joy but of shame that slapping a pot helmet over your head is a good idea instead of having the natural magical resources built into your character to generate a suitable defense.It may be me but I see mages and clerics have more talent then needing such a thing and am saddened that the developers would instead not just say that mages and clerics create a form of magical shield to naturally protect themselves.</blockquote>
