[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7515736, member: 12731"] If I appear to advocate the 3e model in its entirety, I have been remiss in making myself clear. I absolutely acknowledge that the 3e designers made several errors both small and large. Wands of CLW is one example. Item creation is absolutely another. Where I differ from the doomsayers ("it can't be done") - you know, those choosing to believe everything WotC says just to avoid having to work hard? - is in that I believe it is entirely possible for the 5E dev team to improve upon the 3e framework, make it better, close loopholes and so on. :) In fact, that was one of the things I anticipated the most about 5E. I am still waiting. :( My main hope at the moment is that the Xanathar treasure point system goes down really badly when players realize they no longer get any gold for their troubles, and that the backlash forces WotC to reconsider their desicion to weasel out of supporting their own core playing style just to avoid having to hire a designer or three to implement and perfect a true utility-based item pricing and creation framework.
