[QUOTE="J-H, post: 8929841, member: 7020951"] One thing that helps high level play be fun is to [U]not[/U] be stingy with magical items. A level 20 samurai has almost the same capabilities as a level 7 samurai, except he hits things more often, slightly harder, and is tougher to kill. Magic items make a huge difference for martials. The just-hit 20 samurai in my game has: -A +3 greatsword that lets him roll to intercept single-target visible spells (as I mentioned earlier) aimed at him. He can literally block [I]Disintegrate. [/I]They had to solve a complicated fey riddle to get this.[I] [/I]Two characters had to save or die doing so, as they used themselves as material components for some of the solutions.[I] -[/I]A Helm of Teleportation. He is now the party's taxi. They've started collecting rocks as Teleport focuses. -An Amulet of Protection from Detection and Location. Everyone picked these up when they realized they were being tracked (artificer + found crafter at right time). -A Broom of Flying And a few other things like +2 Full Plate and two other nice two-handed weapons. He has strategic mobility, tactical mobility, and antimagic defenses as a result of his items. If he had "One very rare, one rare, two uncommons" for his magic items, he'd have a lot fewer options.
