Popular consensus (mine included) holds that it was put in to keep items out of the hands of lower-level PCs. Someone on another board pointed out that the magic items effectively undergo a "reset" where, once you hit epic, you have scads of normal magic items and only a few epic items, just like at low (single-digit) levels you have scads of normal/MW items and only a few magic items. I know from reading the Immortals threads that you do much the same thing, but is pricing the best way to control it?Interesting. I made epic spells into a level-based system with an eye toward being able to put them into epic items, but I hadn't thought about a feat like that. I'm not sure that PCs should be able to craft what are effectively artifacts (as opposed to epic magic items, which is what Craft Minor Artifact covers), though - these things are legendary, and should have long backstories, blah blah blah. My DM has soft rules for artifact creation - if you have an item for a long time (say, from L1-2 until L20+), name it, give it special abilities, and use it during special circumstances (like to slay several dragons, or during a huge battle) then it has a chance of becoming an artifact.</blockquote>
