[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 5312961, member: 14557"] Exactly. I think there's often a disconnect between what a DM thinks is cool and what a player thinks is cool, and then the DM is shocked when the players disenchant or sell the item he thought was perfectly awesome and flavorful. The best example was a ring that showed up in our Birthright game, that gave the electrical sense of a shocker lizard. It was really neat, but in a game where the majority of electrical discharges were pretty damn obvious, it wasn't terribly useful. At no point afterwards would it have come in handy, so we wound up selling it once we could get to a place that would buy magic items. We don't use specific wish lists, per se, but we don't oppose them, either. Often we don't have any specific item requests, but will take whatever drops (though now the group meme that Dawn Warrior Armor is The Best Armor Evar has taken hold...). The DMs have a general idea what we'd look for, and make sure to, say, drop Staves of Ruin and Bracers of whatnot. Hell, the DM has dropped items in that he thought useful for certain characters, like our warden. Brad [/QUOTE]
