[QUOTE="eryndel, post: 6257203, member: 13120"] It's been a while since I've posted here, but I'm kicking off a 3.5 game for my kids. My teenage son, a bright kid who spends a little too much time perusing the theorycrafting and char-op boards, is looking at playing an Artificer. Even though we're playing in the Realms, I'm cool with that within reason. There was once an ancient nation of artificers in Horreb (around Thar), so maybe he's in the search of some of that lost lore. Question came up about about odd number stat items. Even though every item in the DMG is even number, he asked if he could create one that was only +1. My first inclination is no, it's essentially trying to get the bonus of a +2 item "on the cheap," especially coming from a artificer, whose shtick is to custom make magic items. Of course, I'm fine with Rule-0'ing it, but I wanted to get the thoughts and input from the community. Have you let your PCs make these items, or would you? Does have that much of an effect on the game? I figure it'd be great for off-stats, to pull those odd ability scores to even, but probably not as cool for your main stat (which you'd be trying to improve through leveling and through Tomes if you can get them). Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
