[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6413174, member: 9037"] Let me explain the reason I don't like the idea of magic marts is because often they make no sense for the setting or for the city you are in. Now I do think lower item things like scrolls and potions from first or second levels spells should be fairly easy to find in any big city you might even find some in a smaller town if it is near an area that adventures go. But unless there is an active artificers guild or wizards guild in a city higher magic items will be to rare to just walk in and purchase. For that you need to find someone to make it for you which may take time and may require a quest to find everything you need. Or you can contact a member of the thieves guild to see if they can steal it for you. And I heartily support the idea of using black market contacts for the more forbidden kind of items. In most of the games I play in there are not a lot of high level NPCs wizards and clerics running around so these kind of items are rare to begin with. We also don't use a lot of + weapons we tend to use a weapon that levels. That makes a weapon like you father's broadsword mean more. I also like weapons and armor that are magical to have a history or to have been crafted as a reward. I really don't like the dependency on magic items to solve every issue. [/QUOTE]
