There should also be a drastic diminishing return for selling magic items.Too many times I've received magic item proposals that are totally legal but also totally ridiculous. You can place restrictions on a magic item until it is only usable by the character it is made for. This reduces the cost so dramatically that the power of the item is way beyond the scope of the current character level.I'm not a big fan of the item creation rules as a player option but I think they are suitable as a guideline for what should be available. I've never allowed PCs to tailor-make items unless it is something very minor or it covers a serious deficiency of the character.Unrestrained item creation is one of the major contributors to the imbalance of 3.x. I've always felt any such undertaking warrants scrutiny.</blockquote>
