Magic gear should provide options not ordinarily available. <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#slippersofSpiderClimbing" target="_blank">Slippers of Spider Climbing</a> grant the ability to attack from the ceiling (Higher ground and creative flanking positioning!).  a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rings.htm#blinking" target="_blank">Ring of Blinking</a> makes your actual AC number a little less important.  Heck, a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm#boatFolding" target="_blank">Folding Boat</a> can actually be dropped in battle as a barrier between the party and enemies.  As the DM, find ways to get useful items in your players hands.  Encourage them to rise to larger challenges, not tailor make the challenges easy.  At least, that's my 2 cents.  If your players really want to simply hit things and not get hit, if thy're unwilling to be creative, then you've got a different problem than not enough gear.</blockquote>
