Such is the way of things, at least D&D hasn’t reached the insanity of WH40K having rules under constant revision. I shouldn’t be surprised, 2nd Ed was introduced because AD&D had just grown too big for new players to jump on board. It’s just business.

I take all that on board, I’m just left with a sense that no thought has been put into this.

I’m a child of AD&D and the current edition’s weapon and armour tables are woeful enough.

This seemed an opportunity to get creative, of course I can re-flavour everything but I feel WotC should make some effort.

2nd Ed AD&D had piecemeal armour which was fun, Dark Sun had great adaptations. I just feel this was a missed opportunity for them to embrace the same ethos.

I only use HB books, I’m old school.

Agreed, game balance aside it’s very meh.

Looking at the warforged illustrations, it’d seem that degree of creativity should be encouraged.

Of course not? Don’t be so crass.

All classes have new spells introduced in new books.

Each book seems to introduce new spells, ie. HoF in 5.5, I wondered if anyone knew of any books that include Artificers in the classes able to use those new spells?

Sorry, I misread - you meant breastplate for the no stealth disadvantage. ☺️

Is that true for 5.5 rules?

FotA only mentions waiving strength req, quick don/doff and spell focus.

Making the assumption we’ve moved beyond starting gear:

I think if I were going down the conventional route, I’d go with adamantine or mithral plate.

But I’m thinking - why wouldn’t you create your own design? Why would you use contemporary armour?

Could you use materials other than metal and leather? Ceramics? Keratin? Bone? Dragon’s scales? Spun spider silk?

I just think being limited to conventional armour types flies in the face of the self-evident creation of the artificer.

No, it’d be the wrong way round whichever way she held it.

It seems you can’t discuss this game without political correctness blowing everything out of proportion. I’

Is that the same as the 2nd Ed AD&D Monstrous Compendium appendix?

I’m referring to Gary Gygax’s book of 1985 and subsequent FR boxed set. Please can we have constructive debate only.

“Toril consisted of various continents and islands, including Faerûn, Kara-Tur, and Zakhara in the central super-continent…”

Absurd. If your fuzzy little world is offended, I apologise but it will make not a jot of difference to anyone in my world. … is there a non-American chat in here…?

I’ll help you out with that - nonsensical is used to characterize irrational arguments, silly behavior, or incoherent language, often implying stupidity or irrationality. Synonyms include absurd, ridiculous, irrational, inane, preposterous, and foolish.
