[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2916606, member: 6390"] If it wasn't for the disparity between the Paladin and the Monk and the rest of the party, I'd say: "Suck it up and drive on." So the following has nothing to do really with the arguement between the OP and his player... See, one thing I've noticed, is when told to write up PC's, a lot of players think they are ENTITLED to the GP value in magic items. Well, news flash there, Skippy. You aren't. I've ran into this sense of entitlement a few times, usually with new players. See, I'm the GM, [b]I and I alone[/b] determine what magic items are in my world, and who has them. Not WotC, not ENWorld, not RPGNow, and certianly NOT the players. They get to buy mundane gear, not worry about the prices, and wait for me to say Yeah or Nay on it. Then they hand me thier PC sheet, and I add in magic items. Why do I do this? Simple. Control. This controls the power level. This starts everyone off somewhat even. But it still gets me, the sense of entitlement that some players have. Just because you are a 10th level anything does NOT mean you get even a +1 dagger! It means that the average D&D PC will have enough items to have that much in wealth. Of course, I will admit, I lay it down at the beginning. "Fourth level PC's, Core Books [b]ONLY[/b], all PrC's cleared through me, pick mundane gear only." That's usually how it goes, just the level differing. [/QUOTE]
