Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maxim Machinery" data-source="post: 4407654" data-attributes="member: 74579">If Wizards (or, back in the day, TSR) wrote every single line of rules text as exactingly as the wrote their Magic cards, we wouldn't need errata. Errata are there to clear up the fuzzy parts of rules where they didn't use specific enough language. An ad hominem? From me? Never! My mind merely boggles that any individual could be this dense. To be honest, I didn't really expect you to listen to reason, but I thought I should put forth my arguments as contrast to your righteous indignation so that others would not be misled by your attempts to shout down the opposition. If you truly want to convince me that your position is correct, you'll have to provide significantly more solid evidence than you have - especially with regard to the example of practically being able to wear bracers while holding a shield. I've told you why I think you're spinning bovine excrement, and your vague attempt to deconstruct that reasoning was, by my reckoning, insubstantial at best - merely drawing parrallels to a couple of other pieces of the text and assuming that, not only were they written by the same person, but that that person is infallible and could never write something even slightly less than the absolute truth is insufficient. So I present you with a choice: construct a resoned and well-evidenced argument as to why your point is correct (something which you have spectacularly failed to do), in which case I will drop the sarcasm and ad-hominems and respond with logical reasoning in the spirit of discussion (I havent even delved into the evolution of systems and the 3.5 magic item system yet) -or- you may continue on your tirade, in which case I will now let you have whatever 'last word' you wish in this 'argument.'</blockquote>
