[QUOTE="korjik, post: 5023819, member: 56755"] Very weak excuse not to put the book out. In the first place 'DM only' is a myth. Players will buy what they find interesting. The fact that is is for a DM only isnt a consideration. In my group (6 people), a cool magic item book would prolly sell 3 maybe 4. That is more than any book other than the PHB1, PHB2 and martial powers. 4 is more than anything other than the PHB1. Second, stop gimping the DM. They should be making ways to make the DM better not more irrelevant. My 3.5 campaign went to 18th level and was unbalanced from about 2nd. Guess what, I can DM and kept it together. Making books or Dragon articles on what happens when things go out of whack and how to rebalance are far better than 100 pages of weaksauce magic. Third, there is no functional reason that their cannot be a third tier of items between normal items and artifacts. The arguement that then the items will become general use and overshadow the normal items is the concern of the DM, not WOTC. If they were to put the possible effects on game balance in the book, a decent DM should be able to handle it. The DM saying 'NO' is not always a bad thing. [/QUOTE]
