But I don't see that as boring. It's just intelligent play. If the PCs were real people living in a world that operates like D&D worlds do and using even half a brain cell, they'd all stand in line for those items. "This make Thug stronger? Of course Thug want! Thug not stupid!" If wizards know that improving their intelligence is going to give them more and stronger spells, every wizard in the world that has any interest in improving his magic is going to get one. I think the only cloaks of resistance and rings of protection in my games are the stuff they pull off warm corpses. Amulets of natural armor are pretty much monk wear. But then I like the Christmas trees, and I'm well aware that I'm in a tiny minority on that front.</blockquote>
