[QUOTE="Kmart Kommando, post: 4447702, member: 39915"] that is also an option, but not the standard. I've had DMs that think only stuff written in the item lists can be made, even though there are pages of rules explaining how to make new and/or custom items. Then, usually later on, they have NPCs with one-shot custom items that give them staying power in combat. :hmm: I read some novel that had mages with PCs, personal crystals, which held spells, among other things, sort of like a PDA with computer software. Interesting idea, but haven't had the type of campaign yet where that sort of thing would be appropriate. ... Going out of your way to come up with ways to destroy items the PCs spent time, money and XP to create is not a solution. It just makes things look like PCs vs the DM, then less fun is had by all. what if they use something cheaper than paper? or standard paper which is 2g? I bet the elves are pissed that loggers are clear-cutting their forests for that remarkably profitable commodity. [/QUOTE]
