[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1970745, member: 945"] HARP removed spell levels for me, so I didn't have to. :) I don't think having "magic sword" is bland at all. It depends on the campaign. Certainly saying, "you find 1,000gp and a magic sword in the chest" is bland, but that's contrary to my whole point. The magic whatever should be fabulous and unique, and have a long history, and be special. Not everyone would have one. I think that was the intent with the DR in 3.5. If a magic sword +5 is good enough to cut through a Dragon's DR, then a magic sword +1 should be too. I think that was their thinking (I'll give them credit for that, rather than just being lazy). In my thinking, I'm just going one step further, and removing the actual variations in magic pluses. I also don't like the idea of characters becoming their equipment. So, if a 20th level fighter can't make do with a "magic sword" then something is wrong. He shouldn't constantly have to wine "this would be easier with a +5 sword of demon slaying!". Bah. [/QUOTE]
