[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3252933, member: 39593"] I apply basically the same idea to all the weapons and armor in the campaigns I DM. I use a variation on Rich's Imbued Magic Item rules so that as characters progress through a campaign a relatively small portion is siphoned off their XP and in return their weapons and armor gain enhancement bonuses automatically as they level and they can choose to spend XP on special properties of their choosing. It also slows down advancement slightly which draws out the campaign a little longer. For one it means I don't have to keep throwing more weapons at them, characters usually keep the same weapons they started out with more often than not even to high levels. It fits much more with the flavor of epic fantasy and the fact that each magical weapon does have a story behind it. There aren't any +x swords, instead they encounter an enemy wielding the Mauling Fist of Gadrak the Merciless who united the tribes of the Ironroot mountains two centuries ago. [/QUOTE]
