[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 5114753, member: 65637"] I think it's important to note that the +stat items fell in line with statistics rising as you leveled, which in turn can be held as happening due to point buy slowly emerging over stat rolling. In other words, once stats became no longer static, it became a case where rising them incrementally instead of making an item that [i]sets[/i] your stats somewhere became more important. After all, if there's an item that gives you +2 strength and one that sets your strength to 18, and you already started with 18 and have been raising it every 4 levels, which one will get use? That's why you saw the +stat items - statistics were no longer static. A belt of giant strength that gave you the strength of giants wasn't that useful if you [i]already had that level of strength[/i], in other words. [/QUOTE]
