[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9218471, member: 93670"] You are being a bit overly optimistic there ;). Wotc knows that magic item design baked into 2014 5e is a trap that goes bad places for newer GMs... So much so that they have not even been willing to add a "magic items" section to the character sheet after nine years. I think that there is just about zero chance of them reworking magic item pricing in the way that you want. /nobody there should be unaware of how doing so would make it immediately clear that they invited GM's to rush out into a pit of quicksand filled with spikes like lucy with the football. The GM controls 100% of the gold & valuables that go into the system with race/class/feat not really able to adjust that to make it easier to replace the useless DMG/XgE pricing with campaign relevant values On that we 100% agree but I don't think we will need to wait that long for [URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mcdm-productions/mcdm-rpg']one[/URL] or [URL='https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/']two[/URL] sufficiently developed purpose built alternatives that are better & good enough in enough ways that it won't matter what the design goals of an eventual "7e" are. For now I'd like to see 2024 d&d improve enough systemic issues to make a difference. [/QUOTE]
