In the games I run magic items are incredibly rare. Powerful, but rare. The only way characters ever get exactly what they want in a magic item is if they make it themself via item creation feats. It is my personal belief that a DnD character should never be based around the "phat l00t" that the character has gained over his/her adventures. Items can help refine a character, give him some flair, but a PC should never feel weak because they are level X and don't have a certain item yet.When I played with magic items being more common, practically everyone filled up their available slots with items that cannot be easily replicated by a spell. e.g. amulet of natural armor instead of amulet of wisdom.Every game is different, and this is what house rules are for. I can't imagine playing in a PnP game where the magic items are as common as in a computer game.</blockquote>
