[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3688107, member: 19675"] The one thing I miss about earlier editions is the rules on armored arcane spellcasters. Yes, there are ways to make armored spellcasters in 3.X...but its a lot tougher than the old days of "1) be a multiclassed elf or half-elf. 2) Run character." Yes, I could houserule stuff- but that's not what we're talking about here. I'd settle for an official Armored Spellcaster feat for the base arcane spellcasters, or making certain races able to be armored spellcasters, if only with certain armors. After all, elves are described as having a natural connection to magic, even though they don't have a bonus in any of the core spellcasting stats. IMC, I altered elves to make their favored class Sorcerer to reflect this innate relationship with magic- it resonates with the class description of Sorcerer- but this could just as easily and logically be modeled by allowing elves to cast arcane spells in light armor. WHAT? I've encountered rules lawyers in every edition of D&D. Heck, I've encountered rules lawyers in almost every RPG or wargame I've played. [/QUOTE]
