[QUOTE="Anthelios, post: 3758595, member: 25609"] Some alternatives to whats listed above... Weapons of Legacy: This book is great for this sort of thing. You can turn the PCs weapons into fine tuned magic items that fit them. The adventures they complete can count as the special rituals to generate their power (These would be first time weapons, not unlocking inherent powers). You can keep track of the gold they should have, and use it to cover the cost these rituals usually take. Sort of like leveling up the weapon. Dont tell the PCs your going to do this. Simply have the fighter's sword gleam brightly when it cuts into a beastie.. suddenly doing more damage. They all might take a second look at their crappy gear to find out whats up... Another option would be to just run with the tougher campaign, eventually they'll get geared up again. Just toss down what you want.. ( Or pick up Magical Item Compendium. Its great! ) and throw down some stuff no ones seen yet. Many of the magic items in the book enhance abilities the PCs already have, so they are fun at any level you get them. ( Like the various 3 charge per day items that enhance a specific type of spell or energy type. Fun. ) Also, you might want to talk to your PCs about tactics. If they are low of magic and equipment many of their problems can be temporarily fixed by buff spells. Greater Magic Weapon, Bull's Strength, Bless, Divine Power.. all can buff up a party and let them score some fall back items. [/QUOTE]
