[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 7274298, member: 336"] [b]Thoughts of Q's Workshop[/b] I have not read Zeitgeist but the mention of getting a stipend reminded me of Spycraft (d20). I don't know if this is workable, but it might be an extremely simple solution to the magic item distribution issue, if it is indeed an issue. You don't get a stipend to "buy" items out of Q's Workshop. You get a regular distribution of magic items at every level or couple of levels. The stipend is used so you can purchase items in the local economy. Need to bribe an agent, use the stipend. Need to buy drinks at the local bar, use the stipend. Need a room to stay for the night, use the stipend. Need to make a big bet in baccarat to worm out LeChifre, get your sponsor to bankroll you. Need to buy magic items - stipend is not applicable. So you go to Q's Workshop at first level and get your basic allocation of treasure to "buy" your initial equipment. I'm assuming Armor, Weapon, and Miscellaneous. When you return to Q's Workshop at 2nd level you can choose to turn in one of those items for an equivalent item of Level+1, Level, or Level-1. At every level you get a choice to turn in an item and get a more capable "replacement". You also get X amount for disposable items, and a regular stipend that you can use for petty cash. The stipend is never used to buy stuff at Q's Workshop. [/QUOTE]
