Just reposting Geigan's question from the last thread, since it never got any responses with the excitement of reaching 50 pages. I'm curious as to how anyone who's played the game has handled the magic items as well.

Do you treat them as rewards, natural character advancement, or something else? How do you treat the magic items that enemies have if they haven't full bought in or if they are high enough level in the full buy in to still have items? etc etc etc
