Not in a camper or RV, but 'roughing it'. Backpack and sleeping bag and food cooked over an open fire. No contact with the outside world, none at all.As currently written the D&D rules give a criminally erroneous picture of how things work. In my considered opinion better knowledge of the real world would result in a vastly improved roleplaying experience. Even in munchkin or hack 'n slash games.Let me put it this way. You don't need a feat to wear armor, all you need is some time to get used to it. Used to the weight, the way it 'hangs', how it moves as you move.No need to accurately model swords with fireballs around? On the contrary, when you know how swords really work it makes it easier to present them more effectively in the game, and so give the sword weilder a better tool to use against fireball flingers.(Hint #1: Throwing your sword is a dramatic way of disarming yourself.)</blockquote>
