I have been playing this game for years off and on. We are using the 3.5 rules and really enjoy them. I have two simple questions and hoping for some help with them.

1. Is there a separate book or is one coming out devoted specifically to magic items and more of them? Would be nice to have a complete rule set on them and more (lots of them). AD&D DM's guide(old school) was a great resource for artifacts, relics and other magic items, and while the new DM Guides has most of them, I know I would like more.

2. War and Battles: Is there a tool set that would help manage or help run a large scale battle between armies or large skirmish groups? AD&D started putting out some mods and rule sets in the mid 80's for this type of campaigns. Or has anyone developed their own ideas.

Thank you very much

:smirk: :rolleyes:

This is a handy tool

Also AEG printed WAR with an interesting battle system geared toward what happens to a PC in the midst of a large battle and MP printed Cry Havoc which also has some good adaptations for large battles.
