[QUOTE="Nebulous, post: 5775092, member: 31465"] I agree with the idea that magic items should be back in the DMG where they belong. That said, i wouldn't mind seeing "minor" craftable items in the PHB, low level scrolls and potions and such. Everything else, that should be DM eyes only to hand out as rewards, and as MUCH as possible i think the math should be divorced from the class, so a 10th level fighter is not "expected" to have a +3 weapon. If he does, awesome, he's a better character, but not subpar without it. Also, as someone else mentioned, Sting had a few other qualities like glowing blue when orcs are around. I think this kind of minor storytelling quality needs to be vigorously reintroduced to the game. As far as characters crafting powerful, permanent magic items....i would more than happy if that rule is NEVER created and left for NPCs to handle. [/QUOTE]
