[QUOTE="Sadrik, post: 6209033, member: 14506"] "Nothing stacks" is not a tenable position. Clearly armor should stack with a shield. Clearly cover should stack with a ring of protection. No matter how you go you will have to have some system of keywords. My opinion is you limit them to a finite and very small and predictable set of them. Similar to what I proposed above. If you go to extreme and nothing stacks it simply does not work. If you go even a middle ground of keywords I think that is too far and everything stacks has some advantages but it will limit design because anytime they introduce a new item they will have to consider it against every item in every book they have published. For me somewhere between the 3e keyword and nothing stacks is where I think it should be. I also will edit my barbarian above based on the further observations. [/QUOTE]
