[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 4124782, member: 51325"] I don't think so. Here's another reason why the "magic is scarce" idea never made much sense in 1E/2E. In previous editions, a fighter would gain followers at a certain level. Now, here's what the specific leader you rolled would get. 5th level fighter - battle axe +2 ([I]a +2 weapon at 5th level?[/I]) 6th level fighter - shield +1, spear +1, dagger +1 6th level fighter - plate mail +1, spear +1, dagger +1, [I]crossbow of distance[/I] 7th level fighter - plate mail +1, shield +1 broadsword +2, heavy warhorse with [I]horseshoes of speed[/I] (the crossbow and horseshoes of speed are the ones that leave me scratching my head. Do you know how near damn impossible it is to ROLL and get those specific items on the Treasure tables?) Personally, I'm not against lowered magic items, but I do NOT want to see those "[I]Decanter of endless Water/Everburning Log [/I] type of useless items" I always wanted to know, who would you even bother crafting half the items in the DMG.
