The thing is that epic-level PCs are likely to favor item creation for two reasons:1) As you suggest, picking up the feats (especially CWI) is quite favored at low levels, meaning that epic-level PCs, what with the cash they have, will cheerfully prefer filling each and every available slot with custom items of death ward, mind blank, and anti-magic field, to name a few (all epic-level winners). IOW, the ability to make your own non-epic items really shines at epic level.2) Buying epic-level items isn't going to be, and shouldn't be, very easy given a reasonable economic paradigm, unless you're running an "everyone's epic" kind of campaign. The core economic system assumes that only a planar metropolis will carry anything in the way of the kinds of items that epic-level PCs will want; even then, selection is unlikely to be very high. It may well be easier for epic-level PCs to make their own items.Well, yeah. I prefer the AU approach (split items according to use mechanism rather than "type").</blockquote>
