As the DM, I have so many things to remember already that having to remember to mentally add the magical enhancement of so-and-so PC's unidentified magic weapon is a real pain in the ass. Besides, just because the player hasn't noticed doesn't mean the PC hasn't either.LOL.You can always either assign some hidden abilities to the items your players have chosen or else just say that they didn't find anything with hidden abilities during their off-stage adventures and then you can start handing out the "cool stuff" during the actual adventure you're running. How hard is that?As a fairly time-strapped DM, I find it much easier to let my players choose their equipment than to do it for them (as much as I might prefer the latter option) ... however, it's difficult for some of them to do this because they only have the PHB, so I either end up having to do it for them or else they have to come over to my house and look through my books to find the stuff they want.</blockquote>
