Item Craftsmanship, Not all smiths are equally skilled. Options

[dragon_lord]

All craftsman/blacksmiths are not equally skilled in the art of forging weapons and armour. And so throughout the land varying qualities of equipment can be found:

-Normal items will have 3 levels of quality: Poor, Average and High.
Poor: THAC0 Penalty and damage penalty(in regards to average quality), a chance of breaking.
Average: Normal
High: THAC0 Bonus and speed bonus. No damage bonuses. Those are for magical
items

- High quality normal items can be upgraded through gems.
- 4 different gem types - the elements fire/poison etc
- There can only be one gem per item (stops it from getting too complicated).

Magic items of course can still have things added to them just like in bg2.

generic readily available gem should grant magical abilites to a weapon

there seem to be a common misunderstanding with these gems, these gems are very rare, as much as the some of the more rare items you have listed.

and the WTP will have all new bams, to bg that is, and some that have never been seen before. spells, items, and summoned weapons.

I like the name for the Phoenix stone
