[QUOTE="Gez, post: 1182985, member: 1328"] Well, duh. It's already been said, but it bears repeating: Rather than a funky weapon, use that NPC money on a big scroll or potion. Duh, even on a [i]staff of the magi[/i]. At the start of the encounter, the enemy read the scroll, quaff the potion, of break the staff. There it is, PCs get hurt, and when they win, they don't get the kewl phat l00t. Unfair! Unfair! They won't even get to sell it! Unfair! Unfair! Meanwhile, they've been attacked by other enemies who had humanbane or elvenbane weapons (usually, parties are majoritarily comprised of humans or of elves). For the cost of a +1, it's a +2 against them! Unfair! Unfair! Now, we have our adventurers, who come back from the underdark with their drow stuff.
