[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5536587, member: 6669384"] Sounds like a plot hook to me. Someone had heard of the legendary Bohemian Earspoon of Doom [SIZE=1](tm)[/SIZE] and wants it. Or the players discover that there's a story behind it that needs to be investigated. Or the Assassin's Guild covets such a powerful item. Or perhaps they've heard of it and fear it will be used against them. Maybe they need to drop it in a mountain to save the world or something. (I don't do that last one very often, BTW.) Unless the item is really [I]really[/I] broken, it's a self correcting problem. The party will level up, and their opposition will escalate in kind, until it's just a nifty item appropriate to the level and power of the game. [/QUOTE]
