[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8588859, member: 6788736"] We're comparing them to MCU characters who are literally decked out in Magic (and tech) with many of them literally relying on those bits of gear for their powers. I mean, we're currently talking about Thor, whose secondary story arc was about his Hammer being the source of his powers (and its certainly an iconic artifact he lugs around). Fact is, in every published setting (and indeed pretty much every campaign, ever) magic items exist. Those Magic items are designed to give Martials the most advantage (arms and armor do not require attunement, the only Stat increasing items over 20 are for Strength, potions benefit martials more than casters, magic weapons have a crazy effect on DPR - the Martials main advantage, and other magic items give Martials access to things they dont already have like flight etc). Caster items (scrolls and staves) just let a caster do what they can already do, just more reliably (i.e. more uses of the same between rests). Fact remains that almost all high level (17th+) PCs have several potent magic items, usually unique, and Martials gain the most benefit from them. [/QUOTE]
