Like at higher levels using multiple copies of an item for multiple encounter powers (Swiftshot & Quickdraw, for instance). And Bloodclaw and Reckless were just way too much, even if I do think they overnerfed Reckless.More and more I like my idea of having most item powers be:Item: You may use one item power per encounter (two at paragon, three at epic)Still have some at-will stuff (Acrobat Boots) and daily stuff (Keoghtem's Ointment), but then the rest can be per encounter like:Power (Item): Free Action. Use when you hit with a melee attack. That attack deals +5 damage.Power (Item): Standard Action. You and an adjacent ally gain resist 10 to all damage until the end of your next turn.Power (Item): Free Action. Use when you hit with an attack. This attack bypasses any resistance (but not immunity) of its targets.Power (Item): Free Action. Use this power when you hit an enemy with a melee attack. Push the enemy 1d4 squares after applying the attack's effects.That and give out more conditional but always on bonuses like:Property: Your attacks ignore any resistance of 5 or less.Property: Increase the penalty you inflict by marking to -4 when an enemy attacks an ally adjacent to you.Property: Your improvised melee and unarmed attacks are treated as +3 Proficiency weapons that deal 1d8 damage.Property: When an attack would knock you prone, you can make a saving throw to avoid falling prone.With most items preferably being a property and item power.I'll get to test that out in my game that starts this Sunday, but I imagine it'll take me a while before I know if it helps.</blockquote>
