[QUOTE="Simplicity, post: 385852, member: 1496"] A book containing interesting magical items of all sorts... I've seen a lot of companies do this, and I think they've done it wrong so far, so let me be specific. I want a treasure book with magical items for LOWER-level characters. It should have a treasure generation table that references both the DMG and this new book. The reason I think low-level magic items are important is that I feel that D&D magic items are really kind of lacking in flavor ESPECIALLY at low levels. If you only got 3000 gp worth of treasure to hand out to someone... Well, they're either getting a bland +1 weapon, or maybe some bland armor, or a ring of protection... etc. (I've already houseruled that flaming/cold/sonic weapons are available without a +1 bonus just because they're WAY more interesting than a +1 weapon). I'm not saying that these items aren't useful, I'm saying that it would be nice to have a LARGE resource of interesting items to dish out to players whenever you got X amount of gold to hand out as treasure.
