Alright, do you have the money?" I have rejected magic items in my campaigns only because they are story devices in my campaigns, not power ups, and as much as I hate to say it because it (Clee-Shay)[Sp] the video game mentality even though in the mid 80s when I was 8 and started playing D&D at the same time as i got my first NES, the same thing was happening. For me, its not 'hate' per say, just a rejection of the idea that a character is only as good as his magic items.  In 3.5 like in 1st ed, when ever a problem came up all players would stop and search there character sheets for something to help, rather then doing any problem solving. In 3.5 I had the same trouble, only more so because people would open up books and argue about a mechanic and how it would work. D&D and rpg in general is like a art form because it is all arbitrary to personal experiences. There is no myth, only flat out lies.Just my 2 copper pieces.---Rusty</blockquote>
