[QUOTE="Terwox, post: 1834648, member: 1044"] Again, please note: the poll is not designed to state whether or not magic item shops (or shoppes, chuckle) SHOULD exist, it's whether or not they DO exist in people's games. The general consensus is that in one way or another, they do. Some people simply set a cutoff of where an item starts being "special" -- some people want golf bags of +1 weapons with a holy avenger being something stories are written about, while others want +2 weapons to have names and histories and be treasured items. A similar poll would be, "how important are your PC's items to your idea of your character," and another would be, "how important are the backstories of the magic items in your campaign," but this is not that poll. :) Not that this discussion is bad, I'm simply saying, look at the poll more than what people are saying -- the majority of people use magic item shops in one way or another, while there is a very vocal minority against such use. And, once again, I'd like to stress that I highly enjoy both ways of playing, and running the game. <aside>On a completely unrelated note, I got a D&D poster of the dragons at walmart for 4 bucks. I didn't know walmart in the south sells that stuff. There's no gaming shops in sight, but there's a poster of the dragons (art from the mm's.) Ah well. </aside> [/QUOTE]
