[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8271809, member: 93670"] The important distinction between them is players like getting cool toys, [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/giving-an-ad-d-feel-to-5e.679228/post-8243611']2e dmg had a nice section on that topic[/URL]. Having those cool toys in the form of magical weapons & armor or healing items (potions/wands/etc) meant that the gm didn't need to structure their campaign & limit thekinds of stories they could tell around things like what works with doom clocks to apply strain. With the system already going above & beyond in filling the need it just wrecks things if players actually get them too If the players took those resources & were especially good at working together to avoid needing them... good! great! If the players are doing that by being too cautious I as the gm could apply pressure by having monsters do things or even use some kind of doom clock as minor as the acid in shrine of tamochen if I don't want to use an actual doom clock.
