You are fine with IAoP but don't like BoMS creating "item favoritism" towards essentials classes. IAoP (and bracers of archery) are a significant "screw you" to implement wielders as they are. I play an epic-level sorcerer in one campaign, and it gripes my buns a bit that the three melee guys in the group can take it for granted that they'll get a +6 to damage. And it's not like I can say "oh yeah? well, look at what I got in my arms slot", because there are no compelling choices for arms slot items for implement users at all. In fact, there's a huge amount of favoritism towards weapon users across the board. Gauntlets of destruction are so ubiquitous in my current games that most palyers just assume that everyone gets to re-roll 1's for damage. And that horned helm...Sick stuff.It's not just something that cropped up in one or two books or was prevalent early in the game. It's ongoing--and nobody really cares. Consider all the petty stuff that spawn endless debates in these forums, and nobody raises hell about the huge amount of bias towards weapon users in items, feats, and just basic damage dice. It really is mind-boggling.</blockquote>
