[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5114435, member: 710"] A good combat item? Example: Flaming Sword. The most important power here is - deal fire damage instead of normal damage. That's neat. You don't need it all the time, but now you are the guy with the sword that can burst into flames. You are not just the guy with the sword that makes him hit better. Good non-combat items would be something like the [I]Map of Orienteering[/I]. A thing handy to have. A [I]Hat of Disguise[/I]. Maybe problematic due to combat applications and resulting power issues, but interesting nonetheless: A [I]Broom of Flying[/I]. Looking at an entirely different game: Shadowrun - Mostly a boring item: APDS ammunition. Wow, you can deal even more damage than usually against most foes. - Mostly an interesting item: Gel ammunition. Hey, now you can use your gun and don't always kill people. - Sometimes problematic, but still interesting: DMSO weapons. Put a chemical in it and shoot it at range. Problematic because there are many overpowered combinations, but it is more interesting then APDS because you an do so many things in it. [/QUOTE]
