[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9192303, member: 93670"] Wrt the common items, it's hard to guess We have not heard any indication that PC: monster math will be significantly reworked. Beyond the monster math we've not seen any hind that 5e's death grip on dc5-30 will be expanded to provide additional room for such items to not break the bounded accuracy still seemingly in place.... Not have we seen even a bare hint that (dis)advantage being the [I]only[/I] tool in the toolbox is recognized as a mistake in need of fixing. With none of that changing l'm not sure how much room that the resulting system will provide towards allowing these common magic items to exist. Unless they are useless fluff like billowing cloaks and helmets that make the wearer's eyes glow they are almost certain to be just as overturning to PCs as not so common magic items already are. If they [I]are[/I] useless fluff I'm not sure how it could impact world building beyond consuming a notable number of pages that could otherwise be better used to actually support the dungeon master in the dmg.
