(from Necklace of Mr.T to Goggles of Sanunu (sp?) to Shirt of David Schwimmer to )Not to be completely abrasive, if it's a low magic world, why does everybody who's ever had a favorite shirt which they were identified with pass along magical characteristics to it?Things like the True Cross, or Shroud of Turin or Holy Grail, yes, we all can agree these are massive things which require such mention. I just find that this is getting absurd. We all love american history and it's undoubted dominion due to high pop cultural achievements. But they do have their limits. Maybe if the game was purely run from the 70's onwards then having all these things in the game would be usefull. But if you are looking for magic items which span the entire collective history of the world (not just the modern one, from the middle ages and up) than some random american general's corn cob pipe does not fit on the same page as, say, Noah's Arc, or The Hubble Telescope -- or even The Golden Club of Hanuman. (did he do much else besides smoke and strike poses with that pipe? was it instrumental to his success? perhaps, but not the same way a favorite sword would be to a knight -- that on the other hand is more worthy of accumulating magical properties by association, something that has saved someones' life, or something.)Please excuse me while i wear my bunny slippers of jon arbuckle which gives me the ability to be manipulated by fat orange cats . . .</blockquote>
