whitelynx:
On second thought, rather than make it "you're too low-level so you can't use this item" it would probably be better if you were either a really bad shot, or had a higher chance of misusing it in some way... Not too sure yet how it would work, but I don't want the players to need any of the "level" stuff. (what level computer programmer am i?)

You're a level 6 Programer, and a level 2 modeler. (I peeked at your character sheet.)

Seriously, I prefer to have it be more of a 'I don't know how to use this/I am a bad shot with this' type thing than a "Warning, you need to be level 3.141592 to use this item, and can only do so while doing the Chicken Dance to a Backstreet Boys song." (Which itself is an ultimate weapon.)

Chii:
You could make it so that weapons were in groups and you have to have worked with certain ones before you can use certain others or you need to have worked with so many in the group to properly use this or whatever. That way, you make it so that they have a certain level of experience before they touch the big guns.

You don't even have to do this on all of them - I'm just saying some of the big guns. Otherwise you have a whole bunch of people possibly making some really fatal mistakes (possibly on other players, which isn't fair) because they're trying to use a weapon that's too big for their breaches so to speak.

Morgul:
While that's true, and a good idea (think the 'feats' for weapons you need in D&D) I don't know about the preventing fatal mistakes on other players. No, it's not fair, and that person would get a lot of flack from thier stupidity... but that's life, and that's realistic. I dunno.. part of me likes having the community automagically weed out the stupid ones.... kinda like cyber-natural-selection... :-D

Chii:
How can the smart ones weed out the stupid ones if most of the smart ones get killed by someone else's mistake?
