[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8490964, member: 84112"] guidance and suggestion yes, but 4e put it in the players hands. it took all DM fiat away and let the game flow. yes and no. I have seen MANY DMs say no magic item shops in 5e. You can with a quick search find many threads here about it. Now my group just house ruled a bunch of stuff, so we don't have the issue, but WoTC can fix it for everyone else... (Funny related tangent: We ha a 3.5 game where the DM spent like a dozen games telling us we could not buy magic items, that nobody sold them... then a player tried to sell a +1 short sword and the NPC said "Sure, 1,000 gp" and the player was taken back and said "Try again you can't buy one for 30,000gp why would I take 1,000?" and the DM forgeting his own world said "yeah its worth 2,000gp and i still have to sell it for a profit" so the player came back with "If you can take me to this fantastical market where such wares are sold for only 2,000gp I will gift you this blade" that got us all to burst out laughing and the DM going red faced...)
