[QUOTE="Voneth, post: 442354, member: 1016"] This is a basic tenent with a lot of fellow GMs that I don't agree with. The idea that if there is lack of something in the book, or if there is no stated yes or no, (A lack of a healing item MIGHT be an inferred no, but then again it may be oversight) then it means no. By that defianition, a lot of 1ed. games I played in would have never happened. :) The books never say you can create your own spell point system, that doesn't mean you can't. :) On the flip side, it specificly states that the caster has to pay the XP to make an item. Yet, I find a lot of people who thinks that making the user of the item pay the XP cost make a lot more sense. "Why should a wizard be penalized for making a sword he would never use and then the fighter gets the benfit of the sword by only digging up the cash (which in some games is not that hard if you dugeon crawl in the tradtional style.)
