| Sep 12, 2023 at 14:50 | comment | added | hszmv | I would say that for your 90% perhaps "flawless". The way I see this is that in RPGs I might carry items that will decay but are not used in battle. Food rots, and it has nothing to do with using it in combat (in fact, I'm told that in combat situations where your opponent is a bard rotted food is a good weapon.). I would also advise changing "tested" to reliable, and swap blemished and worn in placement. Blemished is denoting damage affecting quality, where as worn tends to conjure an image of an old but reliable item that still does it's job... it's just old. | |
