Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ruin Explorer" data-source="post: 6320564" data-attributes="member: 18">That definitely was not true in the October playtest, which included a boatload of magic items. There we had plenty of +3 items, including most of the rarer, more powerful weapons (Dwarven Thrower, Defender Sword, Holy Avenger, Vorpal Sword, Staff of Striking, Rod of Lordly Might). None of the armour was +3 AC, but they only had five armours and there was no suggestion that +3 was "artifact only", but rather a very clear suggestion that +3 was "rare and powerful items only". The sort of stuff one didn't usually start finding in 2E until past level 10, generally, sometimes far past that.So if they changed that to artifact only, it was after last October and represents, imho, a pretty serious change.</blockquote>
