[QUOTE="Brys, post: 5374600, member: 80979"] While much more work, you may want to start looking into their "gonna have them forever" items. Give them some sort of artifact that grows with them. I was never a fan of continually trading in magic items for something newer. As a player, I would have much preferred to have my trusty dagger that I started with at level 1 become an artifact. Ideally, it would gain cool powers/properties as they leveled up (something that fit with what their character does or "always-wanted-to-do-but-couldn't-because-the-item-doesn't-exist" thematically). When their character dies/retires/ascends, tell them stories of adventurer's following in their footsteps, hoping to find their weapon. Or when they get back to town, have commoners asking to see the Famed Dagger of [insert your name here]. To more directly answer your question, when playing a dwarven fighter, I always liked getting a dwarven thrower weapon (+3 is lvl 12, I think). It takes any axe or hammer and turns it into a heavy thrown weapon. It's useful and adds a dimension to the character that is often overlooked (ranged basic attack). [/QUOTE]
