Where did you get that idea?

Let's say it's possible for the enchanter to make +5 hit, +5 dmg, +5 str bracers. Enchanting has limits, so enchanter can probably only crank out one such piece of equipment every few hours. And there's probably a limit on how many enchantments the enchanter can have active at one time.

And then when the enchanter hands over the goods to his group mate, it starts degrading by 1pt dmg, 1pt hit, 1pt str every 2-3 game hours. Or, if person isn't in same room as enchanter every game hour.

Ok, maybe that still sucks.
