This is an article about an item used in a role-playing game. Most of it is unreferenced and there does not appear to be any significant discussion of the topic in secondary sources (though admittedly it's hard to imagine where you'd look). As a bonus, large slabs are a copyvio of 1. GoldenRing (talk) 06:37, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant sourced importance out of universe or outside not touch something with a ten foot pole (the idiom). Optionally redirect to Ten Foot Pole as alternate spelling (that's what Google gave first)? 野狼院ひさし _{Hisashi Yarouin} 08:01, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:OR with non-encyclopedic writing "A huge part of D&D back in the day was its exploration aspect, mainly in dungeons. There were no "skill checks" so plausible innovation was the primary game mechanic for those scenes. You had to use your mind and whatever gear or other things you could leverage to find pits, bypass deathtraps, cross chasms, climb ledges, prod corpses, etc. Furthermore..." (please stop). WP:NOTE no need to list every last dungeons and dragons tool and weapon --unless we ARE going to list every last one like polearm (dungeons and dragons item)(sic), mace (dungeons and dragons item)(sic), leather armor (dungeons and dragons item)(sic), staff (dungeons and dragons item)(sic), and --please just stop. also for the english language, this might have WP:RS issues since the only sources were all in japanese.
