[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 2260504, member: 114"] I agree entirely. The fact that PC wealth is under the control of the DM should have made the whole "destruction of items" a non-issue, and let it continue as per the old days (albeit in a streamlined form). The rust monsters that you bring up are an excellent point. In fact random destruction of items is arguably kinder - it is just 'collatoral damage', whereas if a treasured magic item is directly targetted by Sunder (or rust monsters, or Disjunction) there may be more of a sense of "the DMs out to get me". Not in your campaign or my campaign of course, since we are all sensible people. Just in, y'know, other peoples campaigns :) From a story point of view one of the good things about dragons destroying lots of equipment it means that as DM I can justify a bigger hoard for the party once they've defeated it :D Cheers [/QUOTE]
