[QUOTE="RyvenCedrylle, post: 5293357, member: 66726"] Since this is teh int3rn3tz and we are required by sacred tradition to have at least one person come in and gripe about every topic, I'll take this one. :D Truth be told, it's not a bad rule change in and of itself. It is, however, a terrible rules change [I]3 years in[/I]. It's going to be darn near impossible to implement this on the fly in an ongoing campaign where players have been gaining treasure according to the previous ruleset. You either have to take away magic items (right...) or retain the usages per day rule. As example, allow me to point to the RPGA. A Level 5 LFR character very likely has - not including potions, scrolls and ritual books - five magic items, many of which it seems will be included under the 'uncommon' type. Allowing free reigno of the daily magic item powers is a notable upgrade in power. Now imagine this at high paragon, when a character might be lugging around 14-15 magic items, though not all are in use simultaneously. The "stockpiling items that were far below their level but still had useful, daily powers" has already occurred in this context. I assume WotC has already thought of this, but as of yet it has not been addressed in any of the DDI articles or the announcement seminars. Suggestions? Commentary? [/QUOTE]
