Short of opening up access completely, possibly by placing a discounts on items purchased through prestige access, I would like to see an expansion of some of the more common magical items that are not currently available as open access. For example, Bracers of Armor AC2 is effectively a starter magic item, the same as any other +1 type of armor.
Maybe this could be accomplished by setting a maximum gp value for item purchases (Maybe 5-6k gp value?) of magic items rather than trying to specifically identify a few specific items and missing others that should be readily available at any decently stocked magic goods vendor.
A very good idea IMHO hope the powers that be are reading this.
P.S to answer the original thread question not impressed at all with what's been put out there so far and i've played 16 scenarios
