[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5847596, member: 56189"] In the "Should the +1 sword exist in 5e" thread, I noticed several common sentiments, one of which was a desire to restrict magical plusses to a maximum of +2. The other one was that magical plusses should NOT be incorporated into the expected mathematical balance of the system.
