[QUOTE="Imperialus, post: 3838559, member: 893"] I'm kind of excited about the way it sounds like they're dealing with magic items. Especially if they incorperate some of the ideas from Weapons of Legacy. I for one like the idea of a weapon or other item that grows with the character or the character grows into it depending on how you play it. PC's become identified with their items and the items themselves take on lives of their own. Lord Kayan Redsteel, known for his distinctive blood red sword isn't quite as cool if Lord Kayan pawns his red sword because it's a +3 sword and at this point he would really like a +4 sword of shock with spell storing. Magic items were one of the first things that drew me into D&D. I remember reading the magic items chapter of the 2nd ed DMG and thinking "wouldn't it be cool if I had X or Y". In 3rd ed though, magic items had become just another source of book-keeping and you were constantly working to upgrade your gear. Cutting down on the Christmas tree, not eliminating it all together but making magic items special and cool again would be perfect IMO. [/QUOTE]
