[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1191133, member: 14225"] I would point out, however, that a safe just isn't "safe" from an 8th level Rogue. And no amount of Protective Magic makes things particularly "safe" from an 8th level Rogue either. The supposed cost of even a Firetrap (which is at best a nuisance to an 8th level Rogue) is 305 gold pieces. That's one third of the cost of a Ring of Resistance +1. And it won't work. How much money do you honestly think people have lying around? If it's enough to pay for magical protections sufficient to even make an 8th level Rogue burp - it's probably enough money that some minor magic items just aren't that big of a deal. I mean, I have a lock on my door - but [i]I[/i] can break into my house. I [i]have[/i] broken into my house when I left my key inside and such. And I've got a computer, a powerful calculator, and stereo equipment just lying around. The personal electronics I have that are not surrounded by voice-deactivated electrical fences are probably valued in the couple of thousands of dollars. Why would any society that was rich enough to afford items of a similar value be handled any differently? -Frank [/QUOTE]
