[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 4863546, member: 834"] [sblock=Velmont]No offense to our previous DM, but the fact you inherited a second item when you were still level 1 is due to the fact that he obviously paid no attention whatsoever to the equipment of the characters present. He didn't look at who needed to catch up and what items would be useful to who. Dumb luck, basically. That's why he handed out a staff of winter to a wizard without a single cold spell in his repertoire and why he handed gloves that were useless to everyone except two PCs (Skaliss and Trevor) who already had enough magic items for their levels while several of the other PCs in his group entered and left the adventure itemless and behind the power curve. But even that was still not as good as that 3 items combo you are now using. Everyone is going to retire at level 2 and come back if the system is that generous! Bottom line, having a magic item for each of your stats and being level 2 basically puts you 2 points over a typical character of your type in every single aspect and that's just too much so please drop two. How could I possibly give treasures to that guy in good conscience when he is so far ahead of the power curve? [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
