See DMG p. 177.(2) Having trouble with "belts of heal" is due to not following the rule that every non-core item has to be approved by the DM. The easiest fix is for the DM to, by default, only only core rule magic items. See DMG p. 178 and 95.(3) Those permanent spells will go away immediately with a single successful dispel magic. See PH p. 234 and so forth.This is exactly what my playgroup has done for ~2 years and it's worked very well. Some of the rules were:* Core Rules only by default. Any rules change is only allowed by majority vote of all players (not just that week's DM). This would of course include "new magic items" as well.* The preceding need for a majority vote is true for any new expansion book, as well. To date we only allow the Core Rules and the official WOTC class books.* No DM can ever introduce a magic item specifically intended for their PC.</blockquote>
