We all do things our own way. To that point I think trying to track a trend in the way things are today is fruitless. We each have our own methods and that method may vary from campaign to campaign under the same DM.Your comparison to Champions is a very good approximation of what I am trying to achieve in my current campaign. The players are able to customize their characters in every way. I have given them the reins in regards to magic items. They are enjoying themselves, while still feeling challenged. I am enjoying the extra time from not driving the discovery and purchase of magic items and the way the extra time allows me to put in extra flavor without neglecting my responsibilities as a husband, father and employee.</blockquote>
