[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 3446020, member: 20308"] That certainly seems like a non-answer. Maybe I'm just not understanding what you are saying though. The Errata is separate from the FAQ, and WotC themselves tell us to value the Errata and primary source over other sources (of which the FAQ would be one). I don't understand the obtuse comment. From my understanding of the definitions of the word, you are either calling me "an angle between 90 to 180 degrees", "rounded at the tip", or insulting me. If it is one of the first two, could you explain what you meant? Well, if the FAQ is the primary source for the rule, then most certainly it should be used. Otherwise it is merely the "official clarification", which may or may not be useful to some folks. In some cases, it's highly useful. In others, where the FAQ calls out that it is merely making an educated recommendation, it may be less useful. YMMV, as always. [i]Edit - Btw, I believe that the armor table in Races of the Wild includes mithril armor on it, and each of the mithril armors is listed under the category one lower than it's normal type (mithril plate is listed under medium armor, etc). So if you are looking for a hard and fast rule on it, that might be a stronger approach. Edit, the second - Yep, it's on page 168 in Races of the Wild. Of course, Skip Williams was a major contributor to that book, so those who dislike him personally still might not listen to you. ;)[/i] [/QUOTE]
