[QUOTE="SteveC, post: 2568334, member: 9053"] Merric, Very good points. From the numbers you've been crunching (thanks for doing that, by the way) it looks like the weapons end up costing about half as much as their book value. I wouldn't have any problem simply reducing the overall treasure in the game in half and calling it a day. But still...I think the fact that the only items a character could have that were worth over 5000gp were either legacy items that they had found and researched or items they had made with their own legendary deeds would balance things out. It's more of a thought exercise for me at this point, simply because I would really need to start fresh or "reload" a campaign in order to make this happen. Still, I'm enjoying everyone's suggestions quite a bit. For what it's worth to anyone reading this thread who is thinking about buying Weapons of Legacy, I'd say that there are so many good ideas here that it is worth modifying it for your own use. It's kind of funny, really: I think Weapons of Legacy is almost like a third-party product--lot's of good ideas but poorly executed and balanced. I guess I'm not used to this from WotC on such a large scale (i.e., a whole book with the problem). --Steve [/QUOTE]
