[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9336223, member: 6790260"] Not even remotely what I was talking about, so no, I will not do that. Of course it does. "Tee hee, there's this fancy Dwarven armor that just came out of Dwarrowdelve, but [I]I'll never tell you what it does![/I]" I already [I]explicitly said[/I] that if it's just a thing that happens to be there, and the players haven't had any reason to hear about it, then that's whatever. But this is the players ASKING about it--which means the DM has already told them that it's there....while adamantly refusing to say even one word more than THAT it's there. I don't expect an engineer's schematic diagram here. "Oh, some of it has better AC than equivalent armor, other types have the same AC but are a category lighter." Or, "Word on the street is that this fancy new armor material which is resilient against magic, but there are different theories about what that means." Both of those would be perfectly fine, without specifying more than the most barebones stuff. The given example was specifically about doing literally none of that, other than telling the players THAT it's there and then refusing to say anything more than its existence. [/QUOTE]
