Re: Borin's Armor clarification

The 2nd edition EU clarified that Equipment is not limited by the number of cards. However the Japanese version specifically DOES limit them by cards (and specifically lets you sell stuff back at half price, a rule that wasn't clarified until the NA expansions), and aside from it being silently implied in the 1st EU edition, this is the only one to actually do so. The official PC game limited each hero to own each item once (they could also have one copy of each artifact, in theory, if you replayed quests to acquire them all... it was weirdly simplified like that!).
The Remake will have spares of several Equipment cards, but will not limit the number that can be purchased to the physical cards, just like the last NA/EU editions.
Good point about the Wand of Recall, though without any spells (Spell Scrolls were only introduced in the NA versions of the quest packs), it would have been little use to those non-magic characters.
I use the NA rules as the base and have a lot of homebrews (like a lot of people) which, if possible I like to borrow from official versions of the game where possible, whenever it fits.
