[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 4553958, member: 74232"] I'm on the other side of this debate. I see not getting what you want a [B][I][U]HUGE[/U][/I][/B] disadvantage. Everyone is balanced on the idea that you have at least three items that work well with your character. If you don't your not going to be able to pull your weight. Also a player can be well and truly boned if he doesn't have the equipment he's used feats and/or class abilities for. A thief with wintertouched and lasting frost without a frost weapon or a frost longsword? A player with a bastard sword and heavy blade feats with a magic hammer? A magic shield for a two handed fighter? A magic staff for an orb wizard? It's as simple as the magic creation feats to get the items you want. I'd rather just get gold instead of items if the items aren't a match for anyone. That way I could just get someone to make me what I want. ;) At worst the new player might be a bit more powerful as start, but after a few levels, he's either kept his old equipment or he's traded up with found stuff. Either way, he quickly ends up no better than people that just found magic. [/QUOTE]
