There won't be +4 items either.To elaborate: I'm currently DM'ing a planescape campaign. PC stats were rolled, and rolled quite high - the characters are definitely stronger than they should be on average for their level. Adding in the fact that I will never ever continue a campaign up to epic level (it's just a mindset thingy, really <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />), I've ruled that the highest "+ rating" an item will be able to achieve will be +3. Now, there may be such items, or even items that are equivalent to +3 and higher - but all those are ranked at (minor) artefact level and therefore will be hard to find. I realize this is putting the party at a disadvantage against certain opponents, but exactly that is the effect I am trying to achieve - "challenging", tough encounters, not your run-of-the-mill-13-encounters-per-level thingy.No difference here, but then again, I never start campaigns at higher levels than 5th.I'm handling this a little differently. Players tell me beforehand what equipment they'd like to get for their characters - and I take a look at it and then decide what will be available and what won't. I'm not much for actual RP item shopping - it's just a waste of time, and is thus handled OOC (save for a few select opportunities, like when they get to know a certain NPC who's also a merchant).</blockquote>
