[QUOTE="Goumindong, post: 4403581, member: 70874"] yes, but that is not the way game works. You are using a house rule to justify using the rules incorrectly. 1. This has nothing to do with what you are quoting 2. You are agreeing with me I don't get it The spring loaded system which I used to extract a mechanical benefit that no one else does would not be going on the shield arm. Logically it makes very little sense why they do not work together. At least in this instance. However, allowing such interactions breaks the game. Players will put everything anywhere in order to gain some mechanical advantage. This is not Goonies & Dragons, players do not have unlimited item slots just because the item is not "magical" This is true. The only example in the rules that would support my view is flimsy too. Bad, rules, bad. And you are still wrong. On both counts since there would be a mechanical benefit to putting on the light armor by RAW wearing a light armor under or over your plate would give you all the benefits of wearing light armor. Which is ridiculous. And this ridiculousness is a direct substitution away from claiming that shields work just fine when used over bracers. If you need a fluff reason to justify rules designed to keep the game fun and balanced then you can easily make them up. In the other thread i have already given you four fluff reasons to use for shields and bracers. [/QUOTE]
