[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7407823, member: 2629"] Again, FEATURE, not bug. Yes, a wand of fireballs in the hands of a 5th level party is extremely powerful. If the combats allow for it, it can allow them to devastate the enemy with blast afer blast of fiery wrath. At that level, it becomes tool #1. AWESOME. CELEBRATE. This is a moment when the heroes uncovered a powerful tool and saved the day with it! This is a great story moment! How many stories turn on the heroes finding a McGuffin and using it to save the day? Sometimes it is a quest just to find it, but ometimes they find it in the ruins when they thought they were there for another reason. And their legend will unfold as they blast across battle after battle with it in hand... until eventually the PCs become known not just as the fireball crew, but for other great abilities as well. If you don't want that in your game, then don't have it. Over the decades of D&D I've played I've had a lot of games where the PCs took a huge jump in power when they found some particular weapon/staff/ring.... They're not bad memories. They were highlights. Let there be a highlight. [/QUOTE]
