The randomized generation of magic items was emphasized in earlier editions of the game, and magic items - being hidden away in the DMG - had a sense of rarity and wonder to them. In 4E, magic items were considered a part of character progression and were shifted into the PHB. DMs were encouraged to include plenty of magic items well-suited to their players, or even to ask players which items they wanted to obtain.What is the "D&D Next" design philosophy regarding magic items, and what are the lessons the design team has learned from the way magic items have been handled in previous iterations of the game?</blockquote>
