And if having three items worth between 10% and 25% of the total wealth opens up exciting new possibilities, please suggest them.Most of the equipment lists are very similar.  Your advice could be as simple as "ditch the ring of wizardry and use pearls of power instead".  Or it could be as detailed as you like.Quote: Originally posted by Sepulchrave II</blockquote>
