Such items are colourless and share the same level of excitingness as do tax bills and math exams.Magic items do have a large inflluence over character performance, which leads to the endless dark spiral of pain known to gamers as the 'item-trademill', because handing them out as a GM requires to spread them over the party evenly. It is not my idea of balancing classes to give more magic items to underpowered characters to round them out. Instead  I would prefer to see classes performing equally well WITHOUT magical gear. In 4E there are some classes(Ranger, I am looking at you!) that can milk magical weapons and items for a lot more than can most other characters because they can apply their magical boni at least twice per turn. This did create balancing-issues, because the way boni worked almost enforced  going the multi-attack route no matter what striker you were actually playing, to the point where in one party two strikers of the exact same level have a damage-discrepancy of 40%. Despite the fact that both players put their best effort into milking their classes for what they are worth.Long story short, I am all in favor of leading the sacred cow of +n weapons to the altar of sacrifice!<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
