[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 4953837, member: 85416"] And this makes good sense to me. It strikes a fair balance. Some people mentioned high level items in earlier messages - keep in mind we were restricted from Artifacts and Wondrous items from the start of the game. At the rate of gold we're getting (48 gold from the last 2 large encounters), its not likely we're gonna be *able* to buy any big ticket items. Heck, we'd be happy to have enough to buy at our level. For another example, at level 7, our swordmage asked the DM if he could buy a pair of sandals, lev1, heroic tier, 520gp. At that moment, he had nothing on his feet (empty slot). DM told him no, that the weather was too cold - no one would be selling sandals. But he wouldn't let him buy any kind of boots either. So he's bare-footed in the cold weather the DM mentioned. :) Well, this thread sure has gotten "long-ish"... but just so everyone knows, we are still having fun. None of us expect to have the top level items handed to us on a silver platter. We expected to have to earn things, thats part of the fun of D&D. We just didn't expect to have about the harshest level of restrictions put on us. When one of our DMs said that this was the way something was done in 3.x, and I gently reminded them that we are playing 4e, not 3x...I got a baleful glare +3 for my efforts. :) Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this msg thread, and it is D&D so we ARE having fun... :) [/QUOTE]
