[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1389929, member: 939"] Sometimes I gotta wonder... We have people complaining about "stuff dependence" and wanting to get rid of all items, magical or otherwise. Then we have people complaining about "high" level magic (really anything over 2nd level spells) and how they ought to be eliminated and how characters are too powerful and need to be retired after 4th level. So if you take away the personal power and the "power" of items, what do you have left? Why not just dump the game and the dice altogether? Play LARP with the amber system? Is James Bond a wimp because he has Q-branch? Some DMs just need to admit that they only have fun when the characters are half-naked, wearing rags, groveling in the dirt for the chance to kill a kobold and find a copper piece and then can make a bone-knife out of the kobold's leg bone that is -6 to hit and does 1d2 damage, half strength bonus, with a 50% chance to shatter on impact. Because that is "challenging" - while for some reason, a magical sparing match at 15th level with a squad of sorcere/ogre mages is too "easy". [/QUOTE]
