Yeah, so what? Maybe i want to bypass all ability use. :-/
Why is it bothering you?

Be honest ... Does it bother you that i get the same reward with, in your eyes, conciderably less efford? :P

I wanted to address this and one other thing because everything else is just our opinions.

The answer is NO, but I do know people who are like this and I have never understood it. For the record I couldn't care less what people do in single player games, because for the most part those games effect no one else and don't matter. Its a private fantasy Kingdom where people can save scum to their hearts content until they get all the 'perfect' outcomes they want.

I do care about Multiplayer games and only multiplayer games.

Two thigs:
1) As far as i know, rules in PHB explicitly encourage players to use their own imagination and fantasy to do litteraly anything, and use those rules as guidance ... not as restrictions. > That is your allowing. wink
2) As far as i know, there is no rule that would forbids it either. laugh

Show me such barrel in game, then we can talk about why is it possible. smile

BTW do you know what else is physically impossible?
To carry 25 chainmail armors ...
Or to carry 25 warhammers ..
Or to carry 25 greatswords ...
Or, funny enough, to carry all abowe, enough food for next three weeks, your own weight in gold, also carry your own armor and weapon, and still juping 7m long jumps. laugh
How is that possible that none of that is problem sudently? :P

Actually now that the carry weight rules are in effect all of that is now impossible. You would be lucky to get a couple sets of Chainmail in your inventory with average carry weight of 120 LBS.

The funny thing is I don't think Larian set out to shut down Barrelmancy. I think it happened when they started applying the proper PHB rules on weight and encumbrance.

It wasn't in the patch notes. Which, if you think about it, basically affirms what both of us were saying about the PHB not forbidding it, but there being no rules that support it.

Larian applied the proper RAW for weight and Barrelmancy broke.
