Message: <blockquote data-quote="gizmo33" data-source="post: 3865674" data-attributes="member: 30001">I can't imagine getting rid of ability-boosting items.  Strength boosting items seem prevalent enough in folklore that I think their absence would seem strange and they would be back in some d20 book in short order.  Maybe consider costs - magic items seem really cheap to me.  A ship should probably cost less than many magic items.  Magic item costs are simple enough to change in order to reduce magic.  It's hard for me to imagine a magic item that's not useful to someone in a way that makes them more powerful. On top of that there is the issue of bonus stacking and similar things.  If you can only use one ability-boosting item then that would change things.  Perhaps combined with a more severe version of body-slots for magic items (ex. only one magic ring on either hand).</blockquote>
