[QUOTE="Engilbrand, post: 4942827, member: 44184"] Outside of the main 3 things that characters need, everything else is just extra. Boots are nice, but they aren't a dire necessity. Same for belts. Same for everything other than armor, weapon, and amulet/cape. You provide balance by not filling up every single slot on your players. Even if you do, and there's a Dragonshard in the weapon and a tattoo and a boon and some training and.... who cares? You players have a couple of extra options, but that doesn't mean that they're stronger than each other unless you, the DM, have done something wrong. They don't need to be balanced against the world, just each other. These boons still place a limit on the character in that the use of their powers is just like from an item. Sure, the player may have 10 magic item powers. How many can be used before a milestone? 1 in Heroic, 2 in Paragon. Is it really an issue? I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
