[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8630459, member: 67338"] I qustion this... becuse we don't find many imbalances when we all play spell casters. again that isn't my experience. WE give the items to the person the group things should have it. Sometimes that means giving the +1 ring prot to the one with the lowest AC (highest in 2e) sometimes it just goes to who has a slot open and wants it. Sometimes that means we give the +2 shadow blend studded leather to the rogue, who puts his bracers of armor into the pot and the monk gets them, who then gives the fighter his ring +1 so all three go up in AC. no, but the very fact that she can shows that this sisn't 'fighter getting the better'. I can imagine a game where she does though... or one that the fighter does everytime, and I assume most of the time its 50/50ish. however even that... you start a game at 3rd level with a bladesinger wizard hexblade warlock twilight cleric and battle master fighter. no one starts with any items and you find +1 plate and a +2 flame tongue Greatsword and give both to the fighter... that is pretty awesome for the fighter... but you are as likely to find +1 chain shirt that goes to the hexblade and a +2 defender longsword goes to the wizard... this doesn't seem balanced as much as 'can kinda be balanced if luck and/or everyone forces it... still better then 3e [/QUOTE]
