Let's just say I'm glad 2E got rid of that because even in 1E, I thought it was weird. "You're adventuring on the high seas and you've gone up a level or two but because your ship got sunk, you can't increase in level?".1E/2E PCs even at mid-level have MORE magic items but less on them than their 3E counterpart. As others have mentioned, since you could trade in magic items, what tends to happen in 3.X is that the amount doesn't change when you level.A 5th level fighter will have a magic sword, shield, armour, cloak and a couple of rings. At 10th level, he's going to have the same exact same gear but their effect will be better.In 1E, that 10th level fighter might still be using the same exact same gear he had at 5th level but literally have a roomful of magic items that he just can't find a use for but can't sell. Which personally I think doesn't seem to me be "low-magic" since he still has a lot of magic items but he just can't use them.I'll state here and now that I hated this paradigm. I mean, if someone somewhere came up with the folded boat magic item, it has to have some value to someone, so there should always be a market for items.</blockquote>
