Some magic items take damage over the course of an adventure. It costs no more to repair a magic item with the Craft skill than it does to repair its nonmagical counterpart. The make whole spell also repairs a damaged—but not completely broken—magic item.Winnah wrote:That is a stupid rule. Only because there is no difference between minor repairs, to fix a loss of item HP and a complete rebuild of something from a fragment of the whole.
Mearls just tried his best, it says it here:

If I can rebuild an item from a fragment of the whole, it stands to reason I can make several items from several fragments. As written, it is more cost effective to tear up a scroll and repair the individual pieces, then it is to Scribe multiple copies.
Also, the Make Whole spell oddly does not function on any forged or tempered metal. Obviously an oversight.

And yet, there's Mearls, now even more in charge of D&D than ever. It's like D&D is going to be his Skill Challenges writ large; he's part of the screw-up of 4E, but this time it'll be so much better!

How do you confuse a barbarian?
Put a greatsword a maul and a greataxe in a room and ask them to take their pick

Your freedom to add and change rules in the middle of the game is in direct conflict with my ability to understand that rules system before I decided whether or not to join your game.
In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
You do realise saying it like that, only makes us (well at least me) want to see it right?

why hasnt Mearls been clinically declared a vegetable yet? if this is his best...then why is he still employed?
Play the game, not the rules.
good read (Note to self Maxus sucks a barrel of cocks.)

The explanation is far simpler: the statement "a balanced system is boring, look at 4e" comes from paizils, and WotC is trying to gain customers among them.K wrote:When they say people don't like 4e because it's too balanced, I feel like it's someone saying "women don't like me because my dick is too big and I'm too rich and handsome."
