[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8248006, member: 93670"] Level 5 is a good level for the NPC to bring them to a friend's shop & buy them +1 doodad of their choice or similar +1 weapons are actually worth dramatically less than the spellbook & the PCs probably won't care but you can use that as an opportunity to make them awesome +1 items with things like this: [LIST] [*]Windshot: this +1 longbow is able to create arrows each time the user draws the string without needing to carry them in a quiver. Instead of piercing these arrows carry the slashing cut of the wind. In addition once per long or short rest the user can gain the effect of swift quiver for one round activated as part of their normal attack [*]Briar: This +1 longbow increases the range that hail of thorns covers, when used in conjunction with hail of thorns you can choose to either effect 1 extra creature within 10 feet of the target to also make the dex save (normally it's +1d10 dex save within 5ft) or instead raise the effect from creatures within 5 feet of the target to creatures withn10 feet of the targer. [*]Blessed staff: This staff has the benefits of a +1 wand of the warmage but also grants you the ability to cast $fancyname sacred flame that functions as both sacred flame as well as create bonfire under the target (both are dex save so just do em together) but both deal radiant damage. This might sound really powerful & will [I]look[/I] very cool, but in reality the damage gap between casters & martials is enormous with casters far behind & the bonfire will push baddies to take a step that mybe triggers an AoO for anyone in melee :D [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
