I like scaling items to replace finding loot.  Basically I'd rather have a PC's sword "power up" than having to give the characters a bunch more money/treasure/items to keep their equipment on the level of their CR.Surprise! After fighting with that +1 flail for the past few combats you discover that it has a new special ability, granting extra electricity damage. Why? Well that's not just any flail you found, that is the fabled Icefoe, created by the fabled hero Bob to fight frost giants.... perhaps with time more of the powers will be awakened...</blockquote>
