[QUOTE="kustenjaeger, post: 5839725, member: 6690368"] Greetings A definite no here - but only because I don't think there should be an assumption of what items a PC should have at a specific level. My original 1e/C&S mix campaign had comparatively few magic items. Indeed all of them were referenced and separately identified - my notebooks would note what the item was and where it was. After a while my index cards for the PCs or NPCs would also list the items they had. A +1 weapon was a definite find but by mid level most people had something useful other than a scroll or potion (which were relatively more common). This all worked well. If they found a monster that was only affected by magic weapons they had recourse to what they had and used their casters. The really powerful items were usually a mixed blessing because they usually had flaws, their own drivers etc. Regards Edward [/QUOTE]
