[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6545441, member: 12630"] I despise the idea of magic marts. I have no issues with black market sales or high end brokers though. But at the same time the players have no control over what is there. Sure they could attend a magic item auction but there's no guarantee that there will even be an item they're interested in. As far as Eberron goes, one of my favorite settings btw, I think people get too hung up on the items in the DMG as the end all be all of what is out there. The common magic in Eberron should be the utalitarian type. Bedrolls and socks that stay warm, brooms that sweep for you, knives that never need sharpening and stuff like that. The type of items that a PC uses should be the rare and exotic type of stuff that you can't readily find if you can find it at all. And even if a skilled artificer could create a magic sword, it's not on par with a +1 sword. It's always sharp or clean, but isn't enough to account for a +1. I know it's not the normal way to look at these things, but it's possible to fit 5e's item system within Eberron's higher magic without changing 5e's system at all. To each their own, but this is an option for those interested. [/QUOTE]
