[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1305467, member: 6398"] Yes, they are effects. But they are the effects of the items. After all, Alladin's lamp wasn't so special because it as an anitique. Hmmm... I love that movie. But... I don't remember any magic items in it. I do remember some nifty mystical qualities that the [i]characters[/i] gained over the course of years of training and sacrifice. I didn't see these. How were the character levels and how much gp worth of magical trinkets did they carry around? Guess he wasn't as feeble at 850 as he was at 900. Consequently, EP1 and EP2 are damn good examples of why someone should write the story when its in their head instead of 25 years later after you've run out of good ideas. Except, unlike wuxia, part of D&D's definition of power involves cash-and-carry magic items that don't resemble wuxia at all but Final Fantasy. No, I don't like being told [i]how[/i] to play D&D, or having it implied (yet again, seems common on these boards) that my preference is attached to inability. A lot people watch Friends without a moments hesitation as well. Says you. Finally reading the posts before replying? The only thing that could possibly drive me nuts are the number of people that have convinced themselves that any style of play other than their own is wrong and now futily seek to convince everyone else of the same nonsense.
