Imagine being able to play a 1st lvl Mind Flayer in the group? Sure, they'd not have all the standard abilities of the illithid, but he could acquire them via a CC-style xp expenditure. It would be like Savage Species - only really useful!My immediate suggestion for relying on magic items is to hand out 20% of the gold in experience instead. It translates pretty well (1xp=5gp is used in the DMG) in the game AND a quick overview tells me that it should mean some pretty nice abilities beind added to a character (or someone just raising their abilities higher, permanently).</blockquote>
