Or have to constantly do upkeep. Or budget a fortress. Ugh. When I DM, I don't make my characters follow how many rations they have or if they have one or five arrows in their quiver, unless that's part of the plot.In my head, my character is all ready awesome looking. I don't need bling. I don't need to write 'Staff with ruby on end' on my character sheet. And just buying one to put on there is... worthless to me. I'd much rather your gold have a mechanical benefit, like in 3e. I feel the "Christmas Tree" effect comes from having Too Many magical items, especially because you NEED those stat boosters/save boosters/AC boosters. I'd much rather have several small magical items that let me do a few cute things (think: James Bond's equipment), or one or two multi-purpose items that all have magical abilities that are unrelated to my to-hit or AC.Sacrificing gold so my magical weapon gains new powers, or whatever, is just fine with me.</blockquote>
