[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9315460, member: 7006"] For me personally... I will occasionally just install potion and scroll magic into other items. So you can make "wands" that are one-shot items a la a spell scroll-- they get fired once, then just turn into a stick. So they would get used during the fight by the enemies and then no longer be an active item for the players to loot after the fact. Now yes, some players would not want to go along with that idea that the game has a lightning bolt wand that is not a Wand of Lightning Bolts... that one shouldn't create magic items like that which don't follow the "rules" of magic items in the DMG. I understand that mentality-- some people want things to be things that everyone knows about and are universal-- but I don't hew to that philosophy myself. I don't believe that universality is necessary for the game to work. Same way I don't need the game's antagonists to follow the "rules" of PCs, I don't need items in the world to all be the same as listed in the DMG. [/QUOTE]
