Why should i choose between carrying some holy water, a silver weapon OR a blunt weapon when i can do all three? Why should i KNOWINGLY leave myself open to more problems in life ordeath situations than necessary?The character doesn't know "because if we cover all of them the Gm will just invent more anyway because he has prejudged DR to be a middle ground."More importantly every smart character. It makes common sense nowadays for me to take a first aid kit and reasonable materials (maybe a snake bite kit) when heading into areas where these MIGHT be a danager to my life and limb if i dont have them.It makes just as much common sense for a fighter to fill an HEW before heading into his uncommon setting. It makes no sense for him to leave the life or death risk open.Just for the record, there you go again making things up for other people to have said. to be precise.. i did not say this part. You just made it up.it really must be easy to keep arguing points you make up for others to have said.As i stated CLEARLY before... it makes good common sense from the character perspective to be so prepared.Do you shake your head and go tsk tsk when your players buy rope in their character's inventory?the high and mighty act is cool. it would play better however if you did not start it off by inventing the opposing position.if this half-coked rule gets put it, in wont affect my games at all because i wont use it.But if it was in play, even if i never through DR creatures at the gang, i would expect the PCs to run their character appropriately and that would include intelligent character buying intelligent supplies... and that means prophylactic and curativepurchases for things such as poisons and  diseases and drains and climbing and even, yes, horrible as it may sound to those wanting to hoist dr onto some pedestal... anti-dr weaponry.[/QUOTE]
