[QUOTE="radferth, post: 2277336, member: 5791"] Remember, back in the day (BD&D or AD&D) thieves and druids are about the only ones who would want any armor other than platemail. I don't know that 3edD&D has more magic items, but I certainly buy that it has more magic items that aren't weapon or armor + x. The big difference I notice in 3edD&D is that many DMs assume any decent sized town has some sort of amazingly well-stocked magic store or at least one NPC who will make any item to order. This seems to work well for groups that like to trick out their characters, but I like a game where magic is a bit less plentiful. On an vaguely related note, anyone whose does analysis on how much of the treasure is guarded my a monster that is particularly suseceptable to the treasure they are guarding (or were guarding something that could help defend against their special attack)? I don't remember the minotaur guarding a +2 cattle prod, but that type of thing was very common with the old Gygax modules (the ironic treasure items, not the actual cattle prod). Maybe the lower level of this one did not leave room for enough creatures that had special abilities. [/QUOTE]
