[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 4059133, member: 18280"] Besides, that way it'll be easier to market the 4e Magic Item Compendium as a "must have" for all players as well as for DMs. And, let's face it, it'll be easier to fill the PHB V with magic items and spells than it will be to come up with new PC classes and PC races. "With the advent of the PHB X, half-giant half-ooze war hulk ravagers appeared! And they always were there, just unnoticed! And don't forget that Doohickey of Hickery Doo for your gnome druid (made from the gnome in the PHB IV and the druid from the PHB IX....as opposed to the sucky druid in the PHB II that no one uses anymore)! Meh. I am not, I hope, alone in thinking that no player should need to look up "+3 sword" to know what it does. And, for things like, say, wings of flying, I prefer that the player discovers how fast the wings can fly by trying them. (For the record, I do not tell you that your +1 sword is a +1 sword after 10, 20, or 100 combats. If you haven't noticed that Bob hits on 15 and you hit on 14, that's perfectly fine with me. If you really want to know what your items do, cast [i]detect magic[/i] and [i]identify[/i].) RC [/QUOTE]
