Of course, we don't know that this is a static bonus. If the staff is +1 staff of defence, it could very well have a static +1 hit and damage (as a weapon would) and have an activating +1 to AC. They never said other slots could not give bonuses, they just said only three item slots would be "+x to this number" all the time.
I fully expect bracers that can add to AC and a belt that will add to damage, but I think these will be use-activated rather than constant. Even if the staff as an ability usable at will to provide a +1 ac bonus for the duration of combat, that is very different than wearing armor that provides +1 AC all the time. Even if the wizard's first action every combat is to activate the staff, it means the wizard isn't casting a spell that round and that bonus cannot apply to surprise attacks of to any attack that come's before the wizard's turn.
Without reading exactly how such a thing works, there is no way of knowing if this violated the "constant armor bonus on armor only" rule.

You know, she has a sense of humor, and she appreciates D&D, and she has that gilry chick-lit style, that's pretty nice.
It was really all well and good until she hated on the Dead....

This one upgraded her to "Four Beers" status.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Beer Scale it goes like this:
0 Beers: I like you.
1 Beer: I like you, but not enough to pay attention to you for very long.
2 Beers: I like you, because you have at least one interesting thing about you
3 Beers: I like you, because you're kind of attractive.
4 Beers: I like you, but only because I don't think I should judge someone so harshly.
5 Beers: I like you, but you really need to shut your noise-gash.
6 Beers: I like you, but I don't want to be seen in public with you.
7 Beers: I like you, you won't leave me alone and you seem to want me.
8 Beers: I like you enough for a one-night stand.
9 Beers: I like you, but you have to wear this bag over your head.
10 Beers: Who are you? Where am I? What did I do last night?!
It only goes downhill from there.
So, in my callous and entirely shallowly capricious judgement Shelly Mezzablahblah: 4 Beers.
Which, I've gotta admit, is better than most chick-lit writers out there. Good for her!
I would suggest that anyone looking for a serious article not read Shelly's column. My wife loves her, she makes me laugh and I think she's a welcome addition to the line-up.
As for her dislike of the dead, not everyone can be perfect - but this made her one step closer for me.

Journeybread.
Ah, Tolkien. The more we try to leave you behind (halfling/hobbit), the more we tenaciously cling to you.

Well, the mention of journeybread made me pretty mad, so at least some of us can get upset about that sort of thing!
Oh well, easiest thing in the world to toss out, I'd imagine, but if I wanted to run LotR, I'd be running LotR. Waybread isn't cool. Unless maybe it's made by magic and ludicrously expensive.
