Next campaign we'll be using the Automatic Bonus Progression and one think I noticed about ABP is that it assumes you only ever get a +5 weapon rather than a +10 weapon. It's impossible to have, say, a +5 Vorpal Longsword with ABP unless you spend all of your Legendary Gifts on it.
However, Unique Weapons and Armors are at an advantage. Unique Weapons and Armor are almost always overpriced and have terrible mechanical benefits, but in an ABP campaign, they are at an advantage because you get their special qualities for free (from an enhancement bonus perspective). For example, buying a Pistol of the Infinite Sky gives you the quality of infinite bullets + self reloading without having to pay for the "+5" in any way.
What are some other Unique Weapons and Armor that might be worth a look?
