And that requires a little extra suspension of disbelief that could be better used elsewhere.You keep saying this, and yet you have yet to name a single extra record you have to keep! Come on, what are they?But have they taken more time because of the DR?I can think of at least three ways that daggers could be made non-useless in the context of a damage-reducing armour system. I believe I have already mentione two of them in this thread.Appeal to authority.The trouble with SKR's (self-confessed) rant is that he bases his entire argument on a false premise:Given #2 is most certainly not a given, which shoots a fairly major hole in his argument (and yours <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />).He also admits (unlike you) that damage-reducing armour could work; he just believes it would be a lot of work to implement. But we a talking about a hypothetical new edition here: If WotC (or whoever) expect me to buy a new edition, they'd better have put some some work into it!glass.</blockquote>
