[QUOTE="tlantl, post: 5838879, member: 55225"] I agree. For me a magic item is a way for a character or monster to gain an advantage. I like dropping obscure and interesting items into a treasure trove and limiting the total number of items available to very few. When magic is designed into the character's effectiveness it takes away from my enjoyment of the game as I have to deal with the side effects of having things available in shops. I can't give the players items designed to be useful in some situations, because it might require an item slot that is filled with something they need more. I also hate having to make available stronger versions of the same items as they get gain levels. And to those that try to counter this observation by saying that there's a rule to address this in 4e, I know this, but since I don't actually play [i]that[/i] game it does me no good to know it exists.
