[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 4355683, member: 16077"] If you only have one combat per day, then there is no problem since everyone can blow their wad without consequences. You have exactly a 1% chance of either of these being found randomly in treasure (per DMG). Any DM who allows players to just buy magical anything other than scrolls and potions is asking for trouble. Additionally, a lucky sword blow (heck even a pair of scissors) can ruin either of these items quickly. Most of the time, I've never seen anyone use said table. And looting takes at least 10 minutes - therefore the buffs go away as soon as they set off down the dungeon hallway. Just because it is in the book doesn't mean you automatically should have access to it. Rule Zero is *not* meaningless if the DM applies it judiciously. More importantly, when a spell or rule is subject to abuse, the DM *has* to provide a ruling that reigns in the abuse (Phantom Steed, I'm looking at you). [/QUOTE]
