D&D (2024) Magic Items In 5.5

Yep I often do that as well, though I will say I disallow the stat boost items. No putting an 8 in your stat and boosting it to 19 with an item, sorry

When my Cleric got a 19 strength unexpectedly it was funny, and sometimes useful, but usually just an RP thing. He wasn't built to use strength so it just didn't come up very often. He could grapple like the dickens though!

Yeah the items are pretty reasonable in a lot of cases when they are found in game, as players are often not optimized to really use the higher stats. Its when you start the game with them and can build around them that they get a bit OP.
