[QUOTE="awayfarer, post: 3804367, member: 42702"] I just posted this up on my game's campaign forum. I'm curious what others think. The PC's in my game are starting to grow up. They're all level 4, they've gotten their first stat boost not long ago and are starting to pick up a few magic items. I've been doing some thinking and have decided that frankly, I don't want to feel that I "have" to keep dropping in stat boosters. Items like Gauntlets of Ogre Strength, Periapts of Wisdom and the like are frankly boring and I don't like the idea that I have to keep handing out specific loot to keep the group competitive. The point buy for this campaign is pretty generous; 25 points, all stats start at 10 prior to racial mods, first 6 bumps are 1 point, next two cost two, next two cost three. What I'm thinking of doing is ditching the "+2(or more) to 'X' stat" items and just giving them an extra stat boost at even-numbered levels. So instead of +1 at levels 2,4,6,8 and so forth instead of every fourth level. One last thing I should mention is that this campaign will end in the 10-12 level range. What do you think, would this point buy combined with the extra stat boosts be enough to get rid of the + items entirely? [/QUOTE]
