[QUOTE="Tallifer, post: 5788846, member: 84661"] The crafting of magical items in Fifth Edition should be tied in somehow with treasure and player rewards. I like the elegant treasure and enchantment system of Fourth Edition, but I can see how it lacks the marvel and strangeness of systems like Powers & Perils. Nonetheless, I want it to be balanced. There must be a real cost to creating powerful permanent magic or to creating convenient scrolls and wands. Or there must be a strict limit on their power. I do not mind someone making a wand which can cast a magic missile once per encounter. But the magical components for such a wand should be rare and exotic, such that they are essentially treasure and cannot be mass produced. I do not however ever want to see a character forge the One Ring or Excalibur. Those are artifacts created by the gods or some other powerful source (id est, the dungeon master). [/QUOTE]
