D&D 5E (2024) Indirectly Buffing Rogues, Rangers, Monks Via Magic Items?

[Zardnaar]

I think bias and favoritism for any reason are toxic unless you state explicitly that you are going to do it ahead of time.

You can read many horror stories about DMs who favored one PC over another and those stories never conclude that it made for a good gaming experience.

I'm oing the reverse of that. Smoothing the gaps over.
Big damage dealers are thing beezerker barbarians and dual wielding.

Im saying they might get a +d4 or d6 weapon while someone using a d6 trident might get a vicious weapon.

Other way round that vicious weapon on a barbarian its pouring gas on a .

If the DM sells whatever you like theres also huge incentive to always go for the same weapons over an over.

Put on my first legendary level 6. Even if they find it it's a glorified spell stick with 3 or 4 charges. Weaker than a wand of fire/lightning.

I don't think so. You are favoring certain PCs. That you have a logical reason (or some would argue excuse) to do it does not really make it ok. Players expect the DM to be a neutral arbitor.

Like I said if you say this explicitly in session 0 it is fine. If you just do it though without telling players it is not fine IMO.
