Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 1760649" data-attributes="member: 7177">What about legal restrictions on magic items? I mean, few governments will want to let just anyone run around with a Weapon of Mass Destruction (i.e. a fireball wand). While minor defensive items (items that give bonuses to saving throws or energy resitance, healing potions, and so on) are probably okay, anything that has a direct use in combat is likely to be restricted.And if there is a restriction on owning them, you can bet there is a restriction on selling them! Most manufacturers will only do jobs for official representatives of the government - it's safer than getting charged for treason for selling your merchandise to the wrong people (i.e., anyone the local government does not approve of)!Frankly, too many D&D settings treat the magic item business like commerce in the modern-day USA, where many items - even some staggeringly dangerous ones - can be bought by anyone if merely the price is right...</blockquote>
