The two of us are connected via the internet, no?

My hair is connected, though rather less of late, to my kneecaps. That doesn't make them the same thing. And if being connected makes things the same, then where do you draw the line? Remember the old song, "Hand bone connected to the arm bone / arm bone connected to the shoulder bone..." So your argument would seem to say:Hand = ForearmForearm = Upper armUpper arm = ShoulderShoulder = SpineSpine = HipsHips = FemurFemur = TibiaTibia = AnkleAnkle = FootHand = Foot?Where does your transitive property of anatomy stop?The buckler imposes a -1 penalty because of the weight? Where is this from?From whence does this restriction come if it is not merely you reading it into the source material? The restriction is only necessary if hand = forearm, with that we repar to the above argument.A Mithril buckler weights 2.5lbs. Gauntlets of Ogre Power weigh 4lbs. The buckler imposes a -1 to attack while the gauntlets do not. This suggests that it is not the weight but rather something else that imposes the penalty.</blockquote>
