By saying at the start of a campaign that item creation feats are off limits for whatever reason I take away the need to upset the player who turns round and says that he wants to make a +3 Longsword (for example) when I say that "no, I don't want you to make that" and he says "Why"?If I allow them then I really have no right in game to say that a player cannot make an item that he has the feats and spells to make. It would make no logical sense.Because I want to restrict item creation. Whats the point of me placing magical treasure in an adventure for the party to find if they can make their own? None. I may as well not bother and just let them decide what they should have. Thats unacceptable for several reasons, most importantly game balance.NPC's can make them, yes. Player Characters are not NPC's and NPC's don't waste hard earnt XP and gold on making items willy nilly. This comes down (as in recent discussion on these boards) to the fact that I prefer low to mid level magic settings. This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to force that on anyone here.</blockquote>
