[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7418794, member: 2525"] Your're straw-manning me. I was responding to the argument that the Dex benefits make it worth it. For which I said Resilient would be better for that. You removed that context (unsure if it was intentional) and pretended I had said I was responding to the "shield usage" part of it as opposed to the Dex benefits of it. And the "bad ruling" part of my argument had nothing to do with any of what you're replying to. The "bad ruling" part was purely that I felt it set a terrible precedent to change the ruling mid-stream in the edition, in a very 4e kind of way where players can no longer rely on the rulings of the Sage Advice as they become subject to change suddenly in very meaningful ways, for very little reason (it was not breaking the game to leave the old ruling as it was). So I don't know if you just hand-waved my argument, or intentionally changed the context to make it seem I was arguing something I didn't, or forgot what I said, or have me confused with someone else. But, you didn't reply to the positions I stated. [/QUOTE]
