RE: [DL] d20 spells, metamagic feats, and magic item creation

I highly recoomend the book The New Science (D20) for a variation on item
creation. Especially the section on elixers. Another way around it is to
give a Mad Science explanation for such an item (The weapon operates on
probability mechanics and thus has a higher chance of hitting +1). Make the
player be creative about mad science. Who knows, the may pick up a book and
learn something.

THis is an extremely cool idea.
