Message: <blockquote data-quote="Taralan" data-source="post: 5470636" data-attributes="member: 17504">Yesterday, I was again utterly disappointed by 4th edition magic items, more particularly a set of drums of panic I gave my players and which I expected to work similarly to previous edition … and then we found out all it does is give +2 dam and +2 to hit on Fear powers.. sigh … crushingly boring compared to its earlier incarnations.I had high hopes for the upcoming Mordenkeinen book and the new uncommon and rare system, but seeing the book has been cancelled there does not seem to be a solution in sight.Is there a good third party book of magic items filling that void and which would bring back the more flavorfoul magic to 4th edition ? Or at the very least, what are the best such items that one can find in the Compendium, perhaps things like the Rat Form armor ? In short at the moment my expectations are pretty low, I’m looking for basically anything that does not only do simple damages or bonus but creates a new and interesting effect.Any suggestions are welcomed.</blockquote>
