I prefer the style of play where if you found something cool, you found a way to use it.<br /><br />I tend to hand out a fair amount of residuum and encourage people to upgrade their weapons through rituals. That way, they can get the items they want, by making them. However, as a DM, I'd much prefer to hand out random treasure and see what people can make of it.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02001763786534985344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-6108350281828182472011-02-20T18:18:34.798-08:002011-02-20T18:18:34.798-08:00While technically not mandatory, the DMG recommend...While technically not mandatory, the DMG recommends using them, stating that you should have each player write down several items that they want.<br /><br />At any rate, even if I DID have an encyclopedic knowledge of each magic item, I would still want my players to tell me what they want, as opposed to guessing or giving what I think they should have.David Guyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299128722345607123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790030420507335953.post-85560540409082723052011-02-20T17:41:54.587-08:002011-02-20T17:41:54.587-08:00I don't recall 4E ever suggesting wish lists w...I don't recall 4E ever suggesting wish lists were mandatory. It's a possible option for a DM who doesn't read all the magic item books.algnchttp://bloatware.netnoreply@blogger.com
