[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1076285, member: 13098"] I actually took a look at this at a game store while I was on vacation. I was looking for an alternative system, but I ended up putting the book back down. Though, that decision had more to do with the fact that I was on vacation and my wife and son were not having a good time watching me read books in a game store. The other issue was that it would require a lot of reworking for my character for the game I am playing in. :( By extension, it would also require some reworking for the game I run. I don't want to leave you with the impression that I am lazy, but I just didn't have the time to seriously evaluate the book at the time. It is complex enough that I decided to pass on it until sometime in the future. But, with you here, I do have a few questions! :) In all honesty, how much work is going to be required for a DM to replace the core magic item system with this alternative? I am getting ready to start a new campaign and might consider scrapping the core system. As for weird items: How about these? Dreamstone - 1/month allow owner to cast the Dream spell. How about a +3 longsword that provides Energy resistance 5 for cold, fire and lightning and can cast a True Reincarnate 1/year (By decapitating the body. And yes, if the head is already removed, this ability will not work on the subject.) Yes, these are _real_ items in my campaign. :) I'm wondering how they would stat out with the Artificer's Handbook. [/QUOTE]
