[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5057591, member: 2011"] You two are way overexaggerating. The +6 sword makes the peasant about twice as capable as a +0 sword. He averages 3x as much damage per round (course, his defenses and hit points do not increase). The F18 max speed is 1190 mph. The $10,000 car, 90 mph. 13 times as fast. The F18 weight is 25 tons. The $10,000 car, 1.5 tons. 17 times as massive. The deadliness of the F18, massive. It could wipe out an entire infantry. Thousands of times more deadly than the car. There are valid reasons it costs 3000 to 6000 times as much as the car. I think comparing the worst new car to the best new car is a much better comparison than the worst new car to a good jet fighter. Comparing the worst new car to a good jet fighter is like comparing the non-magic sword to a demi-god. These are magnitudes of increased effectiveness, not just a linear increase like triple damage. A +6 sword just isn't that much more potent than a +1 sword that it would be worth more than 3000x as much (or 75,000 times as much as a +0 sword). [/QUOTE]
