Message: <blockquote data-quote="CapnZapp" data-source="post: 7241418" data-attributes="member: 12731">Regarding heavy armor/clothing...and my suggestion to put a lower limit on exhaustion (to 1 level minimum). Since the point isn't to actually invalidate heavy armor builds, but to have rules that actually have an impact, here's two suggested solutions:* you can buy a scroll of Endure Elements that fixes you up for one day at a suggested price of 100 gp. You can go <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/endureElements.htm" target="_blank">look up this d20 spell</a> if you like, but the effects basically boil down to “you can wear your heavy armor without worry for one day”.A case of 30 such scrolls is needed per month, per character. You can increase the price when you buy just one scroll, but when you buy in bulk I suggest the price remains 3000 gp per case.Except you don't really need 30 scrolls a month – you can probably get away with using scrolls only when you really need it. Having disadvantage on checks is irritating, but in the end remains tolerable when all you face is the 0-3 random encounters. Just saying 3000 gp/month is probably a high estimate.* You could feature a "Wand of Endure Elements". It would work just like any other wand (7 charges, recharging d6+1 per day etc). Since it will on average produce 4 castings each day, one wand should be enough for the whole party.You don't need to put a mundane price tag on the wand, though I suggest 8000 gp (since that's what Sane Magical Prices peg 1st level spell-wands at). It's equally good to say the Merchant Prince (or whomever) is willing to trade it for, I dunno, the Fabled Gold Statue of the Nekkid Elephant that you place in a ruin somewhere. Just make it a quest the PCs can go for fairly early in the campaign - the point is to explain why your Fighter is one of a select few wearing plate armor, not to make you conclude you should roll up a new PC.</blockquote>
