[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 3061352, member: 704"] My main point of disagreement with Kunimatyu was that avoiding +X to stat items was nigh impossible. Reading his post gave me the impression that from his perspective his choices were either use stat buff items, or go low magic. A little clarification on what I said. The first part of my point is no mystery. You do not need +X to stat items if the items you do provide are level appropriate. My second point was that selecting encounters approprite to your party is almost never a big deal. If you started at low levels, you will know what your party can and cannot handle easily. Unless you tend to hand out alot of magic gear at once, the players usually wont spike in power that fast. I will admit that if you use published material AND your partys gear is not up to the expectations of that character level, you will run into problems. But that would only happen if your players have gear weaker than their level suggests, and as I said, avoiding stat buff items does not automatically mean the party is under powered.
