[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5113741, member: 807"] For me it's a personal style preference. 1) I like the focus to be on the PCs (race/class/character and evolution thereof), not thier stuff. I'm not even talking about the +bonus, I'm more so referring to all the properties/effects that magic items tac on to weapon attacks and such. something that becomes a signature magic item for a pc, sure, but this slew of magical flares for each pc starts to overshadow what the pc could inherently do on his own 2) I get a little irked when an item gets to be considered such a pc signature item (maybe an heirloom or something they just use -all- the time) and then it gets dropped for a better item just like that with little sentimentality for what they had to leave 3) Some PC concepts just work better as 'minimalist' type personalities, yet the player may feel required to stock up on all these items for the sake of filling out thier christmas tree (even if it is just a psychological need as opposed to an actual need). Having said all that, it really is just a personal style preference and nothing is inherently wrong or right with any view on the topic. Plus, lots of what I said really depend on the other players at the table, campaign, and so on. [/QUOTE]
