[*]Removing the item limit on all items in the game. I am all for removing the item limit. [...] With a point system, hoarding against enemies could be more difficult, because racked versions would count less than carried, which in turn would count less than those recently used. It could also be tu...

Someone wearing armour protects against melee attacks. Someone with magic resistance protects against magical attacks. If you have no resistance, it is exactly the same as going into combat without any armour if you encounter a spellcaster. With melee, it's not quite so simple as all that, though, ...

[*]Removing the item limit on all items in the game. I am all for removing the item limit. It seems to me that if you go to the trouble of killing an upper echelon NPC, you should get it's gear.

Well there should definitely be something, but just not the heartbreaking "I wanna stop playing" feeling if you're big and do happen to get killed now. While they are related, I would think that feelings of loss from character death are actually different and distinct from a rational acco...

Sometimes I wish I had a Strider-translator... Well, seriously, since english isnt my native language I sometimes have real trouble understanding your posts Strider... which means I probably miss the point you are trying to make. I apologize, but unfortunately I am imagining such density, nuance an...

Racial stat modification doesn't happen in a vacuum; it happens in a donut.

The correct solution is to make everyone more obviously MAD.

What argument for not balancing the races is there? I just cant think of one myself, but that doesnt mean there arent any. Is this a rhetorical flourish or do you not see the arguments in these two threads that could explain not favoring some unspecified change to racial stat modifiers? I see somet...
