[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5602116, member: 18280"] So, you don't fully get the argument (which is the only reason you would not "get" the example AFAICT), but you disagree with the conclusion? Okay. Suffice it to say that, with the hit point system as written, my "full hit points" can be less healthy than the prizefighters' "10 hit points remaining". Well, obviously they won't be able to acquire the potions, scrolls, and wand charges used. And, if they do not pay attention, they may not acquire the command words necessary to using some items anyway. There is also a chance that the NPC/orc chieftain/whatever is using a cursed blade. Or a blade with an ego that had other ideas about what you should be doing. Using the tables results both in potential magic, and potential problems. But, if it helps, I agree that making every magic sword/dagger glow wasn't a good idea....I houseruled that away, myself. Making magic items easy to locate and identify would, indeed, result in more magic items. The tables alone, however, do not guarantee this. Then I am sure that you can see how your post might have been perceived otherwise, and appreciate my attempts to help you express better what you were hoping to get across. RC [/QUOTE]
