[QUOTE="davedoty, post: 5707276, member: 6669597"] Thanks for the feedback. Here's the problem with magic weapons in IH: armor doesn't affect AC at all in this ruleset. (They had to rename AC for this reason.) Instead, armor grants dr/magic. As such, even a +1 magic weapon can, at low levels, be almost gamebreakingly powerful. In regular 3.5, it would be the equivalent of a +1 magic weapon that made touch attacks. This is part of why magic items are so rare, it's suggested that they either be cursed, or that the players have to go through a major quest line for even a relatively minor object. The players will not be crafting any magic items themselves, for certain. And they won't be buying any random magic items from the DMG at the local shop. I will be creating and crafting the stats of any magic items that enter the game world, so that gives me some wiggle room. [/QUOTE]
