Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wulf Ratbane" data-source="post: 2161487" data-attributes="member: 94">Is it bad form to quote yourself?Let me put this argument in another context.Take an 8th level character and kit him out with magic items-- permanent, charged, semi-useless, whatever you like.Then match him up against his clone-- only his clone has 9 APs instead of any magic items.1) How do we ensure that the characters are an even match in the context of CR (which is concerned only with the single encounter at hand); and2) How do we ensure that the characters remain an even match across 13.3333 encounters (when we assume that the AP pool refreshes).If we assume that UK's calculations are correct, the no-magic character starts out 1.6 CR behind the magic-kitted character (0.2 * level).Will the APs make up the gap?How much of a bonus do they need to provide to make up the gap?Can they make up the gap without having to spend more than 25% of his APs in any single encounter?</blockquote>
