Message: <blockquote data-quote="BrockBallingdark" data-source="post: 5774986" data-attributes="member: 14884">I've been through alot of postings about 5E and didn't see a thread specific to what we are looking for, for Magic Items in 5E.First, I was surprised on the announcement, as in how they approached the fans.  I want to be excited but nervous.  So playing all versions 1E-4E and currently in Pathfinder, what I miss is the mystery and wonder of finding a magical item prior to 3x Crafting of magic items.  I've played a few magic users since 3x and I first did love creating/crafting my own magic items but... I knew what they could do already.   Other players could just pull out the DM or the Patherfinder core book and see the magic item they want and what it does.  It's like shopping the game to me, does anyone feel like I do that 5E should bring back the wonder and mystery of a magical item found?  We could also bring up all the +'s on magic items to attributes, seeing someone dump a +1 sword (like it was an old shoe) for a +2 sword always bugged me, as in the respect for magical items.As a kid, when I read The Hobbit, Bilbo had a sword that warned of Orcs and maybe was a +1 to hit and damage.  It had a name, "Sting" and glowed blue when Orcs were close, I thought that was so cool.  I couldn't see Bilbo dumping it because he found a +2 sword.  I just feel the respect of magic items has been lost through the last 5-6 years.What do you guys think?Brock</blockquote>
