[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4649194, member: 19675"] Balance is but one concern. The internal logic of a campaign world matters as well, and a skewed economy can really bug some people- as its clear it does me. Yes, but that's not any FRPG we're talking about. We are- or at least it seemed as if we were- talking about a FRPG in which magic items exist. There would still be a market, if not in cash, then in trade. A weapon useless to me because I can't convince it to work for me is just dead weight. I'm going to find someone who will buy it from me. If the weapon is good in alignment, it may even make sure I'm fairly compensated for carrying it around before leaving my care. See above. Unwilling to bind my body and soul to an item in order to use it, I'll find a way to divest myself of it, even if its for the cost of a morning's meal. Unless something is known to be cursed, it has economic value, and what has value can and will be sold. And even [I]then[/I], a cursed item may be of value to someone... [/QUOTE]
