since avendell is a trade town and nutraul area maybe the shops there could be open 24/7
i know LA will benifit from this the most since there home town is the closest but i think having a shop open 24/7 for higher lvl char would be good
idea for merchants in avendell

what about shady dealers
even better, maybe we could have it so that certain shops (eg mage/rogue/assassin hidden behind door or somesuch) are open only at night. gear is more expensive to buy, cheaper to sell, but they offer less savory items with huge weakness to one character trait (like a shield with a -10 to fort saves, -100% slashing immunity) but huge bonuses to other traits (+5 strength, 100% bludg immunity). Now this is an extreme case, but basically hidden shops that have to be found and are only open for a limited duration like from 12:00-4:00am and offer items that make the char immune to one type of attack but way sensitive to another type of attack.

A shield with 100% immunity? Are you crazy or what? Even if it gives -100% to something else you can just switch them when fighting 1 vs 1 and be always immune! You must be crazy....
100% immune items shouldn't exist, no matter the drawbacks...

I should have listened to my own advice: never argue extreme points of view because they are inherently flawed, they are only meant to spur discussion.
well, at least it spurred discussion.
Now what about armor of that type?
My main point however is that there should be some uber powerful uber flawed items that would make a char think before using them. Remember the +3 greatsword that had berserker rage? These items would have to have a benefit that is greater than any simply good item. The flaw is meant to balance things.
I guess since i'm a mage i don't think about physical immunity all that much. it would be more meaningful to have complete magical immunity / complete magical sensitivity i guess. This would make playing a caster even more strategic.
