[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7850209, member: 29398"] Seems a better option than crippling the player....... Keeps you out of jail, too. :) Assuming the DM's running a canned module, of course, then if it ever becomes known the DM changed out the loot then she's potentially opened up a can o' worms: a) she changes the loot to be more in line with what (a) character(s) specifically want, risking accusatons of favouritism if done badly and making the game seem more "pre-packaged" in any case b) she changes the loot to be less in line with what (a) character(s) specifically want, risking accusations of denying players the items they (think they) need to realize their concept c) she changes the loot to be different but equally in line with what (a) character(s) want, what's the point? Also, chances are that a DM who's running a canned module is doing to in order to save some time and effort, so accusing said DM of laziness for not putting in some of the very time and effort they're trying to save seems a bit off somehow.
