It's not enough that you could easily houserule a limit on magic items in your campaign. It's not enough that you could simply give out fewer magic items (or turn some down as a player.) The only way you can possibly enjoy 4th edition is if even people you will never meet are not allowed to have more items than they have limbs. And presumably the formation of game police to make sure no one houserules away those limits.Incidently if 'literature' is the driving force behind your hatred of items I'll just point out that at about the time of Shelobs lair Frodo was carrying the one ring, Sting, the mithral shirt, Galadrial's Phial, a magic walking stick, an elven cloak, and rope of climbing. 7 items.If I have misinterpreted your point please elucidate how, because I don't see another way to interpret your stance.</blockquote>
