[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8872885, member: 82524"] How much are they expected to 'bring up' at this point though. Especially if it's a new player who might not be expecting contact poison to be a thing. I go pretty hard on my character descriptions, but I usually don't explain every detail. Like I've never described my socks and the only time I've described a scarf is because I had Iron Scarf as a spell. For truth. Give me an equipment list that's a good 250 pages. I feel this runs into the issue with what [USER=6879661]@TheSword[/USER] was talking about. What if you run into someone with no visual creative talent or eye for detail who doesn't describe thier shoe laces, but then wants to use their shoe laces as a garrote? The other is the AEG. I cannot and will not talk it up enough. It si more essential than the MM and the DMG only beats it by having such player material as magic items and PRCs in. For me, it's like having an ingestion poison in a jar on a shelf and asking for a saving throw not to knock it back like a jello shot. IF the save dictate the trigger for the save, that's pretty suspect. [/QUOTE]
