Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Little Raven" data-source="post: 4010545" data-attributes="member: 10095">What part of "It's too powerful for you to master" is so difficult to grasp? Rings are not trifles that give you a simple +5 bonus to your Jump check. They're powerful items, as based on their archetype presented in mythology and fantasy. Now, unless you have some kind rationale derived from the influence/source material that inspires this game, you're just talking out of your ass by calling it random. I've yet to see any examples of mythology or literature that show rings to be as trivial and mundane as 3e made them.I'm telling you that you don't have to explain your NPC's +4 attack bonus being the result of his +3 normal bonus and a +1 from his sword because it's completely irrelevant to how and why his stats work in the game. You can choose to do that, just like you can choose to stat every NPC out like a PC, but it's not worth it because the end result is the same, but with more work involved.Who gives a flying frak if the orc chieftain's stat block doesn't directly state that his axe attack is explicitly using the +2 axe you can loot from him, if the end result is exactly the same? Only someone who cares so much about semantics and nitpicking.No, that's what you're trying to reframe my words as, because you have this marvelous talent for deriving the most negative view from any piece of information regardless of how little sense it makes or evidence you possess.</blockquote>
