[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 7164871, member: 23484"] Hi again. We're looking for different things in the game. That's well and good, but it means that you are not going to be convinced by my efforts to help. Caloric intake is not part of D&D. This is a game where a halfling's armour and a human's weigh the same; where hit points are an adequate representation of *something* (although no two people will ever agree on what); and where magic and multiple pantheons of gods objectively exist and interfere with the world. We all have hobby-horses about the rules (I certainly have mine, and I make no secret of them), but I can make and play characters who avoid those issues so that it doesn't interfere with my enjoyment of the game. I hope you can too. Rules that exist should facilitate smooth game play. Often they succeed. There will always be inconsistencies, or assumptions about the uber-ness of katanas, or whatever. For me, there is nothing in these rules that is egregious or requiring change. So, in answer to your original questions: No there is not a typo. Yes, I feel there is something you are not getting. I would be very happy to see what changes you would propose to make sense. Happy gaming. [/QUOTE]
