I know this has been frequently commented on, but I'm putting it forth to explain my request. The situation is that I'm DMing a group through the first chapter of Tomb of Horrors and they should finish up tomorrow night. I haven't given out any magic items in quite some time--a few levels--mainly because whenever I start looking up magic items I become, ah, disenchanted. 4E items just don't inspire me - I don't know if it is the way they're laid out, but I've been having a hard time picking out items for the party and I feel like they're really due for some lovin'.What I'd like to do is throw in some magic items once they defeat the Ivy Heart creature. There are no magic items in the encounter but what I thought I'd do is place the remains of adventurers slain by the Ivy Heart in the lair, intermixed with the foliage and ivy and complete with adventuring gear and some magic items. I imagine quite a haul, an assortment from low to level to one or two mid-paragon level items. They might not even need some of the items but I'd like for everyone to get at least one useful item.Everyone is in the 9-10th level range and, obviously, on the verge of paragon tier. Basically I want to give them some items to prepare them for paragon tier - nicely powered items, but not necessarily their "forever magic items." Here is the party, with a primary weapon or relevant detail, if any:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Human rogue (female) - dagger wielder; preparing for daggermaster paragon path; lone survivor of original group</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Eladrin swordmage - long sword wielder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Human invoker - worships a fire elemental deity</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blue orc artificer - a new character and race, a kind of "nerdy magical" sub-race of orc</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dwarf fighter - axe and hammer wielder</li> </ul>Any ideas? I'm open to anything at this point.</blockquote>
