[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5125945, member: 386"] Eh, don't worry about it. It won't be that unbalanced either way. Even if this NPC party had as many magic items as a regular PC party, I doubt it would make the game unplayable. I gave a 1st level Paladin a 7th or 8th level sword and never really noticed it. As for NPCs actually using their magic items? Let them and don't worry about it. It's not like a +1 or +2 is going to be the difference between a cakewalk and a TPK. (Well, it might, but that would be awesome.) As an aside, I have a custom monster called a Human Crossbowman. One of his powers is: :ranged: jagged bolt; encounter; ranged 20; +7 v Ref, 1d10+3 and slowed (sv). He's got a "jagged bolt" in his inventory. If the PCs feel like using it, I let them. It slows (save ends) on a hit. If the PCs kill 20 of these guys before they use the jagged bolts, who cares. Let them enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
