Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zinovia" data-source="post: 4797299" data-attributes="member: 57373">Your 1 item per slot rule does prevent the "bag of Dwarven armor" issue that others have mentioned.  I'd be a bit concerned about wondrous items, unless you limit those as well.  It would be theoretically possible to stock up on a bunch of items that don't fit into a slot, and hence have no limit on the number of them you can use per day.  Nonetheless it's one solution to this problem, and definitely worth considering.  If I chose to allow any number of items per slot, and one use of an item per encounter, I could see the characters picking up some belts or whatever with utility powers on them (jump further, etc) and using them between combats.  So perhaps the 1 item per slot restriction is worth considering there as well.  I have much to ponder, thanks for the posts.<Edit>Okay, pondering done.  Because I have perceived a problem with the limitation on daily magic item use and feel that is reducing the fun, I think I'll be trying out a house rule along these lines:Daily item powers can be used once per day (same as RAW).  Characters may use one daily item power per encounter in heroic tier, two in paragon tier, and three in epic tier.  Hopefully this should preserve the uniqueness and balance of the daily item powers, as each can still be used only once per day, but encourage the use of an item in each encounter.  By still limiting the number of total uses in an encounter, that should prevent the problem of just using a stack of item powers in a fight rather than the character's own abilities.  I may need to further restrict this by allowing the character to use only one item per slot if item swapping seems to be a problem.  It isn't yet.</blockquote>
