[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 5529986, member: 11821"] Yeah, they are called Inherent Bonuses, still, both in the rules and in the Character Builder. The fun of treasure is really up to your game and its style... I wish there were a simple-to-bookkeep way to give players options spread over some levels, so that you could split out Attack/Damage, AC, and NAD, and pick what order you get them in. About the biggest word of warning I can think of is this: If you're still going to be giving out magic weapons, armor, and implements, figure out for yourself how they interact. It seems simple - I mean, by stacking rules your highest enchantment operates. But in practice it gets a bit weird. For example, an Avalanche Hammer... When you get to Level 7, what happens? Its main perk - an extra [W] on a charge - is potent, and doesn't change from Level 4 to Level 9. Does the player now have the equivalent of a +2 Avalanche Hammer for all purposes, or does he still have to use the Hammer's own +1 bonus when he wants to use its properties? Can he pick between a 1d10+prone crit, or does he have to use the new 2d6 crit? There is no consensus among various rules forae, near as I can tell, and the most common advice I got was, "Well, don't give those out then." :) Anyway, just be aware of the potential confusion. -O [/QUOTE]
