After all, it doesn't matter too much from a game balance point of view how many magic boots you have as long as you don't try to wear more than one at a time.This is where encounter design and varied environments play a big roll. After all, there's no class ability for "I kick the table over", but PCs should be encouraged to think outside the "what are my listed powers" box.  Make sure your fights aren't in empty 10x10 rooms and whenever the PC thinks of something original, "Say 'Yes!'"As a good counter-example might be Westerns.  Everyone's got either a rifle or a Colt pistol, and you could (in theory) reduce the fights down to a series of d20 rolls until someone runs out of HP, but it's so much more fun when people are swinging from chandeliers, sliding people down the bar, and getting thrown through windows into piles of manure.  Make the most of your environment.It was hardly a rant! I thought it was a well balanced post, and your English is quite good.  For a little critical feedback (to help you, of course) I would only note the following: 1. "Saving" throws, not "salvation" throws.  Even if Surgoshan likes it(<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />), it's technically not correct. That's a D&D thing though, not an English thing.2. "My friends got" should be "My friends have got", but the whole phrase ("My friends got little grasp of English") is a little awkward.  We know what you mean, but it would probably be better to say "My friends are not very good at English", or less charitably, "My friends' English sucks". <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But your English is certainly more than sufficient to post here at EN World, and you clearly put 10x more thought and time into your post than most do! Post more! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
