[QUOTE="rooneg, post: 6962185, member: 6779504"] FWIW, I don't see this as being a big problem at all. Hardcore AL minmaxers can already get their friends to run them through cherry picked adventures to pick up the best loot, or even cherry picked chapters from the hardcovers for even more absurd stuff. A couple of cloaks of protection and +1 weapons are not going to even show up on their radar. On top of that, there is a cost to using this feature (on top of the downtime and gold cost), it means you're holding an untradable, irrevocable magic item that will forever fill up a magic item slot, which means you're less likely to have dibs on the cool item you actually encounter during play. It's the same issue that comes up for magic items added via DM rewards. In many cases that item will eventually be out of date, but you'll still have it there on your log sheet. Not saying it's useless (you can always loan it to another PC who needs it), but it's certainly not going to be as useful as it is on day one. [/QUOTE]
