That's perfectly possible, since D&D has a long history of being extraordinarily poorly balanced, yet still eminently playable by the masses who don't grasp balance as a concept or even see it as a particularly desirable thing (if there's one area where modern D&D doesn't emulate MMO's, it's in not recognizing that many people's greatest joy comes from being leet, which of course means that someone else is teh suxorz).But the fact is, that ham-fisted approach doesn't work on a broad scale. There are people who will see the shortcomings of unplugging magic items from the game right off the bat. One guy's going to play a druid and another guy's going to play a fighter, and the former is going to use his innately magical ability turn into a bear and patently outclass the latter who has been denied his panoply. The fighter's going to wonder what the heck he's doing there.</blockquote>
