[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4034011, member: 22779"] How is this a FR problem and not an issue with D&D as written, in every edition? Heck, back in 1e, my fighter equiped his followers with hippogriffs and rocks inscribed with Sepia Snake Sigil (goes off on contact in 1e IIRC). Why not? Nothing I did was out of lines with the rules and we simply had enough money to go out and buy hippogriff eggs. Or rather pay other to get them. This is one thing I hope will actually be addressed in 4e. The per encounter and at will abilities seem to be more combat oriented and less functional. After all, even something like Purify Food and Drink would have a huge effect on a D&D world. Even a 1st level cleric can do that 3 times a day, and a wand would be ridiculously cheap for a town to afford. Never mind what something like a Lyre of Building or a Decanter of Endless Water would do. If they move utility spells into rituals, then perhaps casters will have less of an effect on world design.
