[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5216974, member: 40177"] Our basic rule is, every time a PC levels up, he can trade in his magic items and "upgrade" them, using the rules for making a higher-than 1st level PC. Fluff-wise, he's using the same gear - the mechanics just upgrade. It's what works for me, because I hate trying to keep track of the PCs' gear (I always forget who needs the new armour upgrade, etc). PCs in my games are allowed to pick from any WotC product, but no DRAGON material. Item Sets were disallowed, or, to be more precise, the bonus gained from having a set is not included. Boons, tattoos, or anything that grants a steady bonus without taking up a slot is also disallowed. PCs cannot pick wondrous items using this method - those items are found during play. PCs are also unable to use treasure gained to purchase magic items. There have also been a few "no, you can't have that" moments. All in all, it's a decent compromise, and works as a stop-gap so I'm not stuck playing a game I really don't want to play (known as "PC accounting") [/QUOTE]
