D&D 5E Most annoying / awesome magic items

[Eltab]

I also like to create items wherein the power level of them is tied to the player's bracket (ie 1st to 4th, 5th to 10th, 11th to 16th, 17th to 20th) and instead of simply being +1, +2, +3 etc having a weapon that unlocks as their character progresses (so they dont feel they have to abandon favourite ones)

I loved reading 3e Items of Legacy, and want to figure out a way to apply the concept, but I would never actually use the clunky-sounding mechanics / multi-classing in the book.

why would changing gender have any effect on your Cha score (or any other score, for that matter)? I thought gender-based stat variances went out after 1e.

Or did the cloak itself have a Cha-raising ability built in as a side effect? If yes, this makes sense.

I think the other DM made up the details on the fly. I wasn't there, and I'm not curious enough to ask detailed questions.
