Every time I read the PHB, I learn something new. Yes, new. Not forgotten and remembered, but new. And they've come out with a new edition before I've even fully learned the last one. Ah well.
In the last two weeks, I've discovered at least 5 things that I've been running incorrectly. (i.e. Regeneration vs fast healing) And even more things that don't matter at all.
For example: the difference between a kama and a sickle is 4gp and a different proficiency. A sickle is a simple weapon, a kama is an exotic (and monk) weapon. Anyone out there taking Exotic weapon proficiency (kama) to get a light, one-handed 1d6 slashing weapon with which one can make trip attacks AND save 4 gold pieces?
Rather than bemoan DnD silliness...
This makes me want to run a penny pinching game in which people are so poor that they might arguably take a feat that gives them 4 gold.
