[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8178889, member: 83242"] It makes less sense that you would say I don't feel / think the way I feel / think. I don't know your experiences, but it can be equally true that I may find it liberating that magic items aren't assumed, while others find it a shackle. I may not understand why it feels like a shackle, but I understand it is possible. Does that make sense? EDIT: Do you want me to try and explain it more clearly or can you just except that is how I feel? I skipped 3e (went strait from 1e to 4e) so I can't really comment about the difference between 3.5e & 5e. Sure, that could be true, but why would I take something away from them? IMO, D&D is not a game that can be "broken." If I drop an OP item on them, well what does that even mean? I'm the DM. I can handle anything ;) Also, I've played with the same group for about 30yrs. We are mature and respect each other. It hasn't happen with a magic item, but if we find are rule (RAW or house rule) that is just OP or unfair or similar, we can talk about and move forward. We are there to have fun, as a group. We all understand that. Yes, that is how it worked in my 1e, 4e, & works in my 5e games. [/QUOTE]
