Those of you who disallow guns cause they “don’t fit the setting” you also disallow compound bows, right?

Keep in mind OP is the person who cared very deeply that a hammer loosely based on Mjolnir isn't exactly the same as a particular version of Mjolnir.

What's it called when you out someone on the interwebs... dox? Cold-blooded digging up past threads to discredit someone.

Um, no. That's referring to the public record. No personally identifying information has been released.

… no.

Doxxing is where you give out identifying information or their address.

Pointing to a previous public thread the poster made on this forum, and recently at that, to a show they have a history of this behavior is not anywhere in the vicinity of doxing.

Claiming it is and/or that it's cold-blooded is rather obscene I'd say and downplays the actual horribleness of doxing while trying to defend the OP.

Edit: ninjaed by TOZ.


Fair enough. It just seemed unnecessary to me. I can completely understand linking in supporting evidence and siting sources and such, but dragging someone through the mud just to prove your point doesn't sit right with me.

Also, I apologize for appearing insensitive or dismissive about doxing. I am sure it's a serious issue, but all I see is that Nazis can't hide anymore and I think that's pretty awesome.

I agree it was unneeded, regardless of what you call it.

I disagree entirely. The internet isn't a place where you just start with a clean slate every time you post. Develop a s+$* history, expect that history to come up again.

Yes, but it wasn't necessary to this discussion.

If anyone wanted to look up the history of the OP's previous posts, they can. They don't need to be coerced or guided to specific posts of yours, or anyone else's, choosing. They can read whatever they want and infer their own judgements without any outside input.

It was unnecessary. It was done for the wrong reasons. Making it doubly unnecessary.

Oh sure NOW you tell me


I agree actually, that post was unnecessary and mean-spirited. I'm unable to edit at this point, so reported my own post for moderation.

My apologies OP. :)

I suppose I could run a game treating fragments of things as the entire thing, but that seems like it would lead to nonsense.
It sort of already exists in the form of the Piecemeal Armor system. I'd probably go with Mending CL 5 for the Arms and Legs pieces (since presumably its 10 lbs for both arms and 10 for both legs), but you'll still need CL 30 for the chest piece. Which incidentally is just a Breastplate.

That's probably the best way to go rules wise, but this is more about world building than mechanics. Still, the breastplate includes a helmet and greaves(I assume the 3.5 description isn't overwritten somewhere), so wouldn't be the entire 30lbs. Unless it's intended that the breastplate be literal and weigh between 5 and 8 times what it historically did.

Oddly, even a helmet and greaves only gets us to 20ish pounds. What else is included? Gauntlets, faulds and tassets, should get us close to 30.

As for guns... I figure you should probably give them some leniency if you don't have an equal problem with an Alchemist's Bombs. If hand grenades are ok, a pistol probably is, too.

Grenades first appeared in the 8th century. Firearms that could be reloaded in less than 20 seconds? About a thousand years later.

If your car has a damaged spark plug, do you replace the car, or do you take out the broken piece and replace it?

Plate armor consists of a bunch of individual parts, and although some where riveted together (mainly the parts that formed the gauntlets or sabatons), most of it was connected by straps, and could thus easily be seperated.

A gambeson or some similar padded undergarment is part of every type of plate armor. Of course, it doesn't weight that much.

Would you think it was awesome if it happened to you? No? Then don’t go wishing it on other people, even if you disagree with them.

Should Disintegrate or Heat Metal affect only a single ring in suit of chain mail? Or does the suit of armor count as one whole for the purposes of these (and other) spells and effects?

Any given ring is technically a single insignificant piece of the whole isn't it?

If you remove the ring and put it 20ft away then target it ? I would of course rule it only affects the single ring.

I don't see a reason to disallow mending of detached pieces of an otherwise bigger object.

But as long as the object is assembled, it is then a single oject. Yes, it means magic is a strange thing, but that's for simplicity.

Unless you want to mend the armor while fighting, there would be no problem.

Ok, apparently you have problems understanding what talking about, so I'll break it down for you:

Step 1: Undo the armor's leather straps that hold the different plate parts together.
Step 2: Cast mending on any individual plate part that's damaged.
Step 3: Redo the leather straps.
