But my point is that the game does not offer you a choice on the matter! Which means that every deity and every epic character MUST take the same item (or an item which does exactly the same thing).SO...if everyone has one of these items, what the hell is so magical and special about owning one!? Nothing! They are just a numerical number cruncher.SO...designers have created a system that NEEDS a certain item in order to be played. It doesn't benefit the game in anyway at all, its just THERE.Its a humongous lack of choice in a game thats supposedly open-ended. Well there must be conflicting text on this somewhere because I have definately read it.Frankly the whole sevenfold save bonus stacking system really makes the items in the DMG a complete [insert swear verb] joke. They are so far behind its laughable. Did they sort this out for the Magic Item Compendium I wonder (I do not yet own that book)?</blockquote>
