I just plain don't like the concept of defining a character by a "signature" item -- especially at creation (an emergence defining item can be interesting, mostly because its emergent).  One of the really big issues here is that if a player incorporates a piece of equipment into the core of their character design, issues may arise when that item gets lost, stolen, broken or whatever. I use Sunder. I use item saving throws. I use Disarm. I use thieves in the night. A character's tools are just that, tools.  We aren't playing HERO (a game I love, btw) where you spent "points" on the item.  it's a shiny sword.  if it gets melted by a red dragon's fiery breath, find another one and count yourself lucky you didn't also get equally slagged.</p></blockquote><p></p>
