[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 63030, member: 1118"] Yes you did, but your attitude has kind of driven that out of my head. What do you want, for us to accept your opinions as offical? I respect Caliban's opinions, but I don't take them as gospel. However, his track record is better than mosts on this message board for being right. Basically, when it comes to making a decision on how a rule works in my game it goes: me, my players, a designer from WotC (or Monte), Caliban, and certain others from this website. And BTW, what rationale would you give a player in your game if his monk character wanted to use a shield and you said no? It's clearly written in the PHB that monks lose their special powers if they use armor, but if you tell your player that a shield isn't armor then he would naturally assume that he could use a shield. So, you would then have the change the monk's description so that he would lose his special powers wearing armor or a shield, which is then becomes yet another similarity between shields and armor.
