We've had that argument before, and it is just untrue.Setting up a balanced set of pricing components is far from easy. In fact, it's quite difficult.I've considered the task myself, but already the fundamentals are different. Not just how 3E goes from +1 to +5 while 5E stops at +3 (that part is almost trivial), but how to price attunement instead of body slots, and what about concentration and how spell damage doesn't auto-increase with level...The differences between d20 and 5E in how magic items work, as well as how individual items are constructed are significant enough that you can't just "tweak the numbers" and go for it.There's lots of niggling little details I'd rather have WotC crunch.A fledgling DM should definitely never be told she can do it herself.Ask yourself: if it really were as easy as you claim, why haven't the ENWorld fans done it over and over already?</blockquote>
