For me the only magical items that are truly fun are the non-combat related ones. Immovable Rods, Decanters of Endless Water, etc. Those do things players can't, and their use is mainly to facilitate creativity. Or things like slippers of spider climbing or gloves of storing.What sort of bling that gives me +X isn't really important to me, and I didn't like how characters were defined/differentiated only by their equipment. The lionshare of abilities, now, are generated from the PCs classes, not the baubles they find. I've also disliked, even with 4e, you still wind up with a closet's worth of magical items. Rarely have I seen in fantasy fiction where a character had more than two magical items. But then, I've always felt that a character should only have 1-3 magical items, which function like a swiss army knife of thematic effects.</blockquote>
