[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5057422, member: 82106"] Well, or maybe it would make it even more plain to include any sort of vehicle whatsoever. I kind of look at it this way. A +1 sword is kind of like your average passenger car. Almost anyone could find a use for it and it would be handy to own. Even your average peasant wouldn't mind having such an item and should they find themselves in need of a sword that one would be a good choice. Now, could they use a +6 vorpal sword? Sure, that would be even better, but it wouldn't really do a heck of a lot for our peasant. It sure wouldn't make him a match for anything he couldn't fight with his +1 sword really. Sure he'd be more likely to kill some creature he can fight if he had that +6 but he's still not worth much more than your average Goblin Cutter either way. The +6 sword is kind of like someone owning an F18. Sure you COULD use it to get from here to there, but honestly its probably a lot more trouble than its worth and you sure as heck wouldn't spend 30 million $ on it unless you happen to be a small gulf oil state. Nor are you likely to be able to sell it for anything more than a small fraction of what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
