[QUOTE="RuminDange, post: 1606842, member: 5412"] I think a lot of way magic items are handled in game as well as by players and DM's is depends on the mood set by the campaign. I feel as though magic items have lost their special feel but that could also be the result of players who don't always look at a cool item with a history the same as I do. Most of my players want magic items but they tend to horde everything they can like a greedy little dragon even though they are human, elf or whatever. They would toss a cool sword with a name and history if they run across one that is a higher bonus to hit and damage. I have one player who loves her equipment just they it is with several weapons or items that have histories and names, and any items she gets beyond what she has she hands out to her cohorts, followers, druids that serve her grove or people the rescue. The others hold on to everything. Now in context, I set this campaign up 4 years ago as a very high magic world. There is to some degree the "magic shop" in some larger towns ran by the same wizard who trades magic for magic and he isn't cheap. In small towns might have a potion dealer or something, but not much else. The one mage that handles all the shops is a long story and since some of my player visit here, I'll not get into it. But I will say is he tends to in all places at once kind of thing and they already know not to cross him. :D Of course this campaign has been epic for some time now with the majority of characters in the 33-37 level range. But the next campaign world I run I'll things different. The other largest problem I can see, since I also voted other, is that too many of players play CRPG's and those promote the magical gadgets and toss one item for the next that comes along. CRPG's also tend to cause other problems I tend to have with some to of the players in relation to role-playing and doing paperwork for their characters...one just hates to do bookkeeping himself. :mad: RD [/QUOTE]
