Sorry i was a bit with my way just then [img]tongue.gif[/img] i'm sorry [img]smile.gif[/img] merry xmas too!!

But they made the game like that for the reason of making it balanced and to avoid some classes vastly overpowering others.

Eg) the restriction which stops a fighter from using magic protection armour and rings means that his armour class (which is already way lower than a mages) cannot be lowered twice whilst a mage who cannot where armour at all only has the option of being lowered once either way.

Another arguement against the "ease of use" patch is that black isle designed the game to have enemies which would suit opponents with a particular AC. Bending the game to lower this intended AC means you are no doubt making the game easier for yourself.
The same goes for non-official items. Seriously, how many of these items are actually less good than others found in the game? not very many.

I didn't mean to rant, but in a game where the items that you find are an even greater source of power than your character's build means that bending the restrictions that black isle put on the game by wearing items in a way which stops the restrictions or by using the weapons the game permits i feel that a person loses all bragging rights when these are broken [img]tongue.gif[/img]

lol bye
