[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4479394, member: 3087"] I think the magic item situation is really complex. What if a 1st level character gets their hands on an 8th level weapon? Is their DM supposed to "balance" that out by giving everyone 8th level weapons? What happens when those characters go on to other games? Are those DMs supposed to hand out 8th level items? Is 8th level equipment the new 1st level? Do we then "lock" those characters and keep them from getting new weapons until they get up to a much higher level? I think the 1/5 cost thing is a fairly important balancing mechanism. We have a system in place that "levels up" magic items if people haven't got the right ones for their level (I think we agreed it was "the gods") there is nothing that says they don't downgrade magic items either. [d]--[/d] I think having the Gilded Arrow; a private establishment connected to the Hanged Man, is an excellent idea. Perhaps it was founded by [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/../../wiki/index.php/L4W:The_Five#Mauros_Esthanapiros"]Mauros Esthanapiros[/URL] (who thought the Hanged Man was "dreary and distasteful" and refused to set foot in it -- nobles who are attracted to the Hanged Man, but don't actually want to go inside go lurk their and soak up the "dangerous atmosphere"). (We have a monster filled pirate bar on another island connected by a portal; this would be eminently less of a stretch) (I've been using Mauros to justify for everything recently...) I -don't- think that an actual arch-angel works though. Maybe we could arrange for a particularly well groomed Minotaur (a relation of Faun's and Brudd's... so the rougher customers don't mess with him)? [/QUOTE]
