07-16-07, 07:53 PM im playing a high level mixed setting game with a player who regularly (frustratingly) tries to break his character by min/maxing and "misinterpreting" rules. this time he added +5 enhancement bonuses to dastana and chahar aina. as they are armor its a little unclear as to whether or not it is possible. to me it seems really broken and would off balance the game system. you can add enhancements to "armor" and "shields" via the DMG. however while dastana and chahar aina are listed in "other" they are still a type of "armor".

help?
