Also used Hithorn the windling merchant *cough* Questor of Chorrolis *cough* to introduce certain players to one another more than once. Then of course, there's Vardeghul of Haven. Always love seeing the look on players faces when they're charged fro even seeing the product list.

Also stated in older editions that the jungles/forests weren't entirely destroyed - the Scourge altered many lifeforms and made the more common creatures overtly vicious and territorial. Well, after all, its a harsh world of survival. This trait of vicious animals and defensive plants has continued....

I've always GM'd it as your image is displaced several yards but it still reflects what your are doing. IE: it doesn't make you invisible. Sure you can get a blind side attack to your opponents but they can still see you making the attack, and thus attempt to dodge/parry it (with a penalty equal to ...

Sogora the inept adventurer/bandit from Mists of Betrayal.

(Gives me time to restart my 1507TH era campaign ;) ) Quite an inte...

Actually, the Physical Defence and DEX step of the wearer get reduced should the wearer be Encumbered by the weight of the armour (exceeding his Carrying Capacity). Well, at least in 1st ED it did, as the difference in Str required to what your characte has was then subtracted as an encumbrance pena...
