In addition, if one does get to those situations, how helpful are they really? Does it make sense to attune to one of these, or keep the 3 items the PC already uses. The Trident can use up actions to affect one foe. Out of the 25 aquatic beasts in the MM, only 2 or 3 of them are worth using the Trident on. Most of the creatures are super wimpy and taking one of those out with the trident is overkill at best. So not only does the PC have to use up an attunement slot, but he also has to use up actions to mostly take out low level frogs, or minor sharks, or whatever. Against a Polar Bear? Ok. A bit worthwhile. Assuming that the aquatic adventure goes towards the polar caps.Ditto for the Brooch. If the Archmage is done to throwing Magic Missile (or most other force effects), action economy is probably leaning way towards PCs.I wasn't aware that there was a Dex one (or Wis, or Cha). But, I agree with your general point. There are the Ioun Stones, but they are less powerful and have their own inherent built in limitations.</blockquote>
