[QUOTE="Steve_MND, post: 6962171, member: 6801314"] Ah, I see what you mean, yes. Well, unfortunately, some elements, like the magic store, etc., are already effectively just a progression in an already done deal. That cat was let out of the bag when the modules that were being offered slowly started with their own power creep in terms of rewards, etc. (as we've discussed elsewhere), and once started that cannot reverse direction -- it's only a one-way street from there on out, and the only thing you can do (short of a complete wipe) is to try and mitigate or halt the speed at which it increases. With stuff like the magic store, I can only hope that they mean to provide a way for the 'little guys' to get back on a more stable footing with the rest, equipment-wise, and then once everything is again (more) equal, they can use that as a stable platform going forward. I don't think that'll happen tho, since once that inclined is started, it requires constant supervision to ensure it doesn't get worse. But we'll see. In a related thread, one of the reasons why some of our group are looking at indie OP campaigns like Greyhawk Reborn, etc., is because we liked what we saw in that the magic item 'power creep' was much lower there that the runaway train that is AL. The promise of a lower fecundity of magic items was one of the things that we all liked in 5e. [/QUOTE]
