[QUOTE="skippy_the_witch, post: 3395240, member: 18980"] I have it also, so I will answer a few quick questions. About psionics, there really aren't any NEW items. Mostly what they did was collect a number of the items from the XPH and list them, BUT they also listed the ARCANE/DIVINE spells and feats needed to make them as normal magic items. Thus, such fun items as boots of skating and psychoskins can now be made by regular magic-users, mot just psionicist. Those that prefer to keep such items unique to psionics won't like this, others of us will find it useful (especially for my homebrew, where psionics is almost exclusively the purview of insectoids...and the technomagic using federation would have developed arcane items that would have mimicked the psionic ones...now I have the convertion stats I need). Synergy qualities is also cool. A Flaming burst quality is now only a +1, BUT it is a synergy quality and requires FLAMING as a prereq. This way the burst feature is it's own rules, seperate from the flaming feature, which is really how it should be. Lastly, I was one of those who HATED the "new" magic item format (pre MIC), but really do love this new format. True, it takes up a bit more space than the DMG format, but no more than the new Spell Compendium did when compared to the PHB format. No more having my eyes glaze over as I read boring pap fluff trying to find out how an item is activated and how many times it can be used per day. Now all that is spelled out in easy to find and read format. Worse problem I see is that the organization leaves a bit to be desired. It is alphabetized, but if you don't know something is called "wind bracers" and instead think it is call "bracers of wind", you will spend forever looking for it under "b" rather than "w". Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer. skippy GM of The Cursed Earth Campaign [/QUOTE]
