[QUOTE="Nyronus, post: 5697765, member: 93419"] Wow, a fantasy RPG where we can do away with magic gear and instead leave the real magic in dynamic, powerful, and arcane armaments with stories and challenges behind them. I'm so glad 4e developed Inherent Bonuses and Artifacts for this style of play, and there is no real need for a system overhaul to implement this. I'm also rather miffed at Monte's assumption that the game be the "loot and loot" centric tales of yester-year. His wizard can spend all the time she wants looking and questing for a single Robe of the Archmagi. My party is way too busy dealing with Tiamat's fascist empire, the looming threat of a Divine Civil War, and either an Abyssal or Far Realm invasion to be worrying over where to get their next +5 Sword. If a bunch of epic tier heroes want to stop and spend a whole quest getting one magic item, it better be something like the axe which cleaved Io in half, or the Sword of Kas. Hence why I love inherent bonuses, boons, and artifacts as an alternative to the eternal +n treadmill. It de-clutters the narrative, giving more space to more interesting topics, and it allows for some truly epic additions once in a while. More or less everything Monte wants. So, once again Monte makes a big deal out of problems where a solution already exists in the system framework. [/QUOTE]
