As written before, I like the DnD item system more than D:OS because I hate inflating numbers with totally random items.
In DnD unique magic items are rare, but when you find them they can be very powerful and you will probably keep them for a long time.
Somebody complained that in 5E you have very limited options for special attacks. You need to be a battle master or spend a feat to do some things at all, such as trip or disarm an enemy.
In this case special attacks for each weapon type might be good, such as damaging enemies with a spear when you dash to the enemy. This way the choice of your weapon type would be more importent and you can do something else than auto attack 90% of the time. In most games it makes no difference if you attack with a sword or an axe.
