i just want to say that after playing might and magic 6, that i would
NEVER inflict item breakage on my players :) seriously it has got to be
the biggest annoyance..having to constantly watch your gear, then take
it to the item shop or repair it yourself simply adds tedium to the
game..i agree with realism to a certain extent, but not at the cost of
playability and enjoyment..
