[QUOTE="DevoutlyApathetic, post: 2057280, member: 1093"] So were THAC0, static saves, super-multiclassing, ridiculous dual classing, and the rewarding of guys who rolled an 18 with even more bonus's to hit; all these are just as much staples as the overbearing DM who must be able to 'keep the characters in line'. Things having been done before is a bad answer as to why you should keep doing it. More to the point, in a world where a reliable magic exists and high level NPC's run around the place some sort of magic economy is practically demanded to exist if we want things to be internally consistant. The only real issue to me is how much time you want to spend playing "Merchant: the Reckoning" instead of the problem solving/dungeon delving/adventuring bit. If you think the unfettered access is the issue I suggest you look seriously at the items being bought with regards to just how balanced they are. Edit: Oh and on topic? Druids don't really need the uber armor. I'm not a huge fan of the melee druid, as in my experiance he rapidly becomes sub-par to a competent fighter at the end of mid levels. I think druids should focus on being druids and not waste feats being a blender for a few levels. When the pit fiends show up you'll regret walking up and beating on them. [/QUOTE]
