[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 5800551, member: 3192"] Gauntlets of Ogre power as capped stats. As I understand it Gauntlets of Ogre Power grant the wearer Ogre Strength. Maybe that's 18/00 or whatever the new system uses, but a PC already with 18/00 STR would gain no bonus. A creature with even greater strength might view the gauntlets as a cursed item as they limit his or her STR. Additionally, the 6 different kinds of Girdles of Giant Strength could be included as well with STR's 19-24. And, if your a crafty kind of PC, you can see how gaining more powerful items might mean paying or adventuring for more powerful components. So that Storm Giant girdle isn't exactly an early project, IYKWIM. If they go with 25 as the mortal cap, more important A.S. bonuses, and stat boosting items like the above, then we are very much looking at a throwback game. Now I doubt they'll go to curvilinear stat bonus progressions, but I don't see them emulating 3e or 4e with such. (also, hurray for the silver standard. Now what can I get for twenty dollars?)
