The VOIDRUNNER'S CODEX is coming! Explore new worlds, fight oppressive empires, fend off fearsome aliens, and wield deadly psionics with this comprehensive boxed set expansion for 5E and A5E!
The MIC does provide more power per level than the DMG indicates. Heck, a 750 gp Belt of Healing provides more renewable HP healing per day on average than a 90,000 gp Ring of Regeneration!
Hey, don't get me wrong. I like Monty Haul games where magic is cheap and plentiful. Sure it breaks game balance...or "restores" it to a level where magic is more powerful...certain classes lose exclusivity...WotC designed these power books with YOU in mind! Keep lapping it up.
