Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phoenix8008" data-source="post: 23457" data-attributes="member: 211">Okay, so there seems to be a majority consensus on a few issues at least:1. The item creation system should stay based on Yen.2. A fighter should only be able to POSSESS one empowered item at a time.3. If a fighter with a fully charged item(number of powers equal to their number of tiers) loses a tier, then the most recent power added to the item is temporarily deactivated until the fighter regains that tier.4.? A possible consensus (I don't see anyone saying that they don't like the idea...) on item powers being permanent for the creator but one-shot for anyone else that has the tiers to access the powers. (So theoretically, a 5th tier fighter with a 5 power item could give it to a 2nd tier fighter who could then use the first two powers in the item one time each. He could then give it back to the 5th tier fighter who would then have a 3 power item with powers permanent for him still.)Wicht, a few questions:Q1: Why should the fighter have to buy the original item? Why not have that be free and just pay for the powers that you put into the item? Yen will be rare enough that I think paying for the original item is too much trouble.Q2: Can we cahnge "Real" to "Empowered" or something else? It just sounds kinda funny and "Empowered" seems more accurate to me.Q3: Can Sash powers be added to an item? If not, then the balance slips away a little further as the Sashes can make items with powers from other Paths, but noone can make items with Sash powers.Q4: If an item is given away and all it's powers are used up via one-shot's, then why should it still be considered "Real" or "Empowered"? The way I envisioned it, the item would become a regular item again with no powers for anyone. Not even if it was given back to the original creator. Any powers that are used via one-shots by someone else are GONE FOREVER FOR ALL USERS. This of course assumes that the original item is nothing special. Maybe you are trying to simulate the way D&D requires you to buy a Masterwork item  before making it magical. That is the only explanation I can think of, but I'd rather not go that direction here in YB. Just simpler for the original item to be free and normal as far as I'm concerned. Otherwise you end up spending precious Yen for something that doesn't give you any in-game benefit if you can't afford to empower it right away.Q5: Are all of the powers an item can possess usable only once per fight? If so, please make this appearent in the rules.Anybody disagree that the items listed above are pretty much a consensus? I'd appreciate any answers Wicht or others could give to the 4 questions I posed also. Opinions on issues relating to these questions are invited also.</blockquote>
