[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6842660, member: 6701872"] No, I'm not assuming that. The DM in this scenario is the one that assumed that. The player said "suit of armor" and could have meant that one of two ways (with and without the gauntlet/ring inclusion). The DM assumed they knew which way the player meant it, rather than actually clarify with the player - and evidence shortly following proved that the DM had assumed the incorrect way the player meant it. That's not equivalent to the scenario at hand. This would be: I'm selling my car. It's currently got a seat cover and a steering wheel cover on it. The guy looking to buy it says something along the lines of "...all of it?" which doesn't exactly make any sense to me, but I assure him "yes" I am selling the whole car. Then the guy looks at me funny because he thinks he just bought the seat and steering wheel covers (and maybe even my lunch and cell phone since I likely haven't cleared those out just yet either), while I think I sold him the car and we never discussed any other items as being for sale.
