[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8382169, member: 16814"] No, I do not. I say it's not a trivial amount of work, because it relies on extensive experience. For example, glazing a bit on a model to shade it isn't an unreasonable amount of work for me -- I can do it pretty well pretty quickly and even use different color glazes for nice effect. This, however, is based on years of practice and study on painting models and lots and lots of failure. I would never say that glazing is a trivial amount of work and you only need a brain to do it because while it's pretty easy for me, it's not at all easy for lots of others. You're calling this simple and obvious, but it's not -- it's part of the received wisdom of long term D&D players coupled with your own long experience with the game (and doing this kind of thing). Look at it with fresh eyes -- would a brand new player with no help and no experience with RPGs understand that all you have to do to have food and water matter to your 8th level party is ban a background and delete a number of spells?
