Yours to do with as you will.That said...TREAD CAREFULLY!The great restricting point for equipment, or what stops equipment from breaking the game, is not the cost of it : its the fact that you cant have multiples. Yes, I can afford 2 suits or armor with different properties, no I cant wear them both at once.There is design in the items there are and intention in their balance. You start allowing multiple effects per "slot" you are walking a dangerous path. Sure, its attractive to players (who would want a Jagged Frost Black iron sword of ultimate death!?), but if you set a precedent with this, it could end up in a dark place for your game.The fact is, game designers only intended a certain level of output from gear, and from experience, aquisition of gear and gold is a DODDLE (at least going by prescribed standards in the DM's guide)Personally, as a DM, this just isnt something I would ever toy with, and would NEVER allow players to have autonomy over (that said, each of my players got a custom designed epic item going into epic levels...but I desgined those items, not the players).But if you can make it work, more power to you.</blockquote>
