[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 4698121, member: 9789"] Just wanted to chime in and say I agree with the majority of posters in this thread: due to the specificity of 4.0 items and the massive amount of rules and playstyles and new features being introduced all the time, it's effectively almost impossible to stay on top of all of your PC's "best possible items" lists without their help. I have tried doing it myself and it will easily quadruple your prep time. For as many time-saving mechanics that 4.0 has, loot distribution almost makes up for all of them by being a huge time sink. It's annoying, sure - especially since PCs typically aren't used to doing this work and they would probably rather be surprised. But frankly, that's just not a luxury they can have anymore. Well, at least until enough new books are introduced with items that are so much better than the others that everyone just gets them - like Iron Armbands of Power for a melee fighter, for instance. That's one arm-slot item you'll never have to think about again. [/QUOTE]
