And it's not like these problems are unknown.- The loot-the-bodies mentality- Mercenary atmosphere in general- The commoditisation of magic, aka "magic shops"I don't have any problem with killing monsters and taking their treaure (does anyone have a cite for that quote, BTW? I know it's Ryan Dancey, but I can't remember where it's from), but a bit less emphasis on taking their treasure wouldn't go astray.It shouldn't be beyond the ingenuity of humankind to come up with a system whereby everybody, not just spellcasters, can trade XP for super powers. Placing reasonable costs on imbuing items would be a start.</blockquote>
