[QUOTE="NCSUCodeMonkey, post: 3758667, member: 2047"] Nope. What I've been doing recently is asking my players, "Why do you want to play this character." If the answer is, "He'll have some cool abilities and I really dig the concept," then I OK it. If the answer is, "Because at 7th level, I can do 18,796 damage! OMG!!!!!!1111," then I deny it. Of course, my players know better than to lie to me :]. No, but I've done this in the past and you will find that the CR guidelines start to break down after 5th level. When my last campaign ended, I think the party had less than 5,000 sp (we used a silver standard, rather than gold, from the Black Company CS). If you're interested in keeping the CR system on the level, might I suggest Mythic Heroes ([url]http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=6026[/url]), which was a lot of fun in my low magic campaign and helped out the poor, magic-item-less fighters. Perfectly fine. I hate magic shops. All of that sounds 100% reasonable to me. Like I said, just be aware of the imact on the system once you yank the magic items out of it. [/QUOTE]
