Pretty funny. From the 'Top Thirty Ways To Kill A Munchkin':

Something I did on my game world was to wipe out magic...

At the end of a particular quest, the PCs managed to locate a tome of incredible power. Only, removing the book from it's resting place angered a particular deity, who tended to thumb through the book on occasion... The angered deity decided to punish the mortals by negating all magic existing in the world!

That is to say, *any* item, scroll, potion, etc that was already enchanted lost it's magical properties... New spells would continue to work as they were cast, and new magical items could be created, but all the old existing ones were suddenly non-magical.

The super-warrior of the party, complete with girdle of Giant Strength, Plate armor +3, Longsword +4, and Ring of Regeneration, etc, etc (all gained from a different GM) was reduced to a regular old "average" fighter... First battle they came up against after the magic faded, he rushed into melee as usual, not realizing what had become of his precious magically enhanced items... He had to be saved by the "weakling" Mage (that fighter thought all mages were weaklings), much to his own embarrassment. The fighter didn't Last much longer though, as the next encounter proved fatal. Old habits die hard, and he died quickly...

The next character that Player drew up had the "no magic items" clause in mind, and he actually came up with a superb PC with *personality*. Will wonders never cease?
