[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8673989, member: 93670"] Not quite, that's where crafting comes into play. In my current game I have five players in it. [LIST] [*]Two of them have their needs met but has a bunch of things they want to get[I] eventually[/I] (not at all level appropriate items at their level). Lets call then Alice & Bob [*]One of them moved from a greataxe to a maul to a bastard sword & has some armor they are happy with. Lets call hm Chuck [*]One of them has [I][B]EXACTLY[/B][/I] what he wanted. Lets call him Dave [*]The last one is salty because he's turned his nose up at phenominal gear that went to the cleric because none of them were what could be described as "[I]an[/I] [I]official Red Ryder, carbine-action; two hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time![/I]” Lets call him Eddy. [/LIST] Alice Bob & Chuck are fine happy & well equipped level 6 PCs & one of them did some spellcraft to learn some custom rare spells that made them happy. Eddy likes to say "my character doesn't want to get involved" & "I don't think my character wants to learn any crafting skills[because he would rather have the murderhobo skills the PC has]." Dave is really the only one with crafting skills & can only craft so much so started with meeting his needs that could be filled with his crafting skill. Both the me GM & Dave have lamented that none of the other players have [I]any[/I] crafting skills & seem unwilling to pick any up. If you want something other than what you find, [I]craft it[/I]. If you can't craft it then get another player to do it for you or try to find someone you can commission your "[I]official Red Ryder, carbine-action; two hundred shot range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time![/I]” from. One of those involves investing in character capabilities in order to fill your desires, the other involves making connections & taking actions to justify an NPC filling your desires using the BPC's capabilities.
