[QUOTE="Plaguescarred, post: 6319807, member: 6701422"] Here are some quick observations about this excerpt; [B]+1 Armor/Weapon: [/B]I am fine with those, and the numerical advantage even small is significant within Bounded Accuracy. [B]Boots of Striding & Springing: [/B]I think they're cool. The enhanced jumping means you can long jump a number of feet equal to STR x3 and high jump a number of feet isual to 3x (3+ STR mod) with them. Because it doesn't say you can move beyond your speed, you will still be limited by it though because jumping says you must ''[I]simply deduct the distance of each part of your move from your speed until your speed is used up or until you are done moving.'[/I]' (How To Play pg. 09) [B]Gaunthlets of Ogre Power:[/B] I like them as is, when you wear them, it makes you as strong as an ogre. I also assume raising your unaltered STR has no effect while wearring these. It was like that in AD&D and i never played with people who organized their ability scores in prevision to one day obtain such item. I think in such case the problem is not the item's power but the player's behavior. (metagaming character creation). [B]Potion of Flying:[/B] Good enought, but i think it doesn't make sense to fall a minute after it wears off and think that you should fall immediatly instead. [/QUOTE]
