(TFT) RE: Limits on Weapon / Armor Enchantment in Rick's campaign.

["rsmith" <rsmith@lightspeed.ca>]

Hi all,
	I have a house rule that the weapon armor
enchantment can not do better than double the
base armor rating for shields or armor.

	Thus with cloth and a large shield you can
get at best -1 w/ae on the cloth and -2 w/ae on
the Lg. Shield.  Thus you would stop 6 hits from
the front and 2 from the rear.

	It works pretty well.


	Rick

Ed,
   Yes, you can stop 12 that way.  It's in the section called THE RULE OF
FIVE page 25 of AW.  Here is the relevant quote from paragraph 3, sentence
3.

   "The effects of DIFFERENT kinds of spells which stop hits are cumulative
- for example, magic armor which stops 3 hits, magic shield to stop 2 hits,
and a Stone Flesh ring to stop 4 hits would add, to stop a total of 9 hits
per attack."

   My guess from the wording of this sentence that enchanting armor and
enchanting a sheild are DIIFFERENT kinds of spells.  It' easier to think of
it this way.  Even though the wizard on spends one IQ point to learn
weapon/armor what he is really getting are three spells: Weapon enchantment,
Armor enchantment, and Shield enchantment.
