Re: A new beginning

Hi there,

>what do u mean by weird stuff?

Well, when I tried to give every class a method of identifying
magical items, I thought it would be cool if every class
could only identify specific items.
For instance the warrior alone can identify weapons and
the wizards are the experts for books and magical wands
obviously.
To that end I took the categories of the magical items as shown in
the Dungeon Master Guide, 2nd edition, on page 135 and assigned each
to a different class.
There is a categorie called "Miscellaneous Magic: The Weird Stuff"
which contains items like "bowl of watery death", "cube of force",
"deck of illusions" and such.
I did not know how to deal with that categorie, so every class can
identify it.
I hope things are a bit more clear now.
