[QUOTE="Eman Resu, post: 6858603, member: 100340"] no pc is a wizard, nobody wanted to be locked down to a lab as wizards make horrible travelers and do so as little as possible This is a dark era where human cities dominate the landscape. Demihuman relations are at best tenuous and thats the good aligned races including elves, dwarves, halflings (aka hobbits or pecks) & gnomes (pecks). There exists no allied agreement with most all are treated as slight heretics. The gnolls, goblinoids, some barbarians and Orcs are treated as severe heretics and are hated outright. Very few are excepted given unique circumstance. Most have a bounty on their heads. No such thing as a "half elf or half orc population" oh sure there might be 1 or 2 here in there, but a rarity for sure, a population percentage? never, just a small handful thru out the lands The paranoia's of the masses, the fears and jealousies of the masses work against spell casters in this campaign. The people are quick to report suspicious behavior to local authorities and/or clericy. It is customary for families with spell-casters to hide the abilities or to ostracize that member in fear of being labeled witches themselves. Religion is a big (er) influence in this campaign and heretics are hunted down. What is done with them then?? alignment would strongly influence. Brief imprisonment, beaten, beaten and stripped naked & ostracized, branded imprisoned indefinitely and so on so forth to drawn quartered, burned at stake, public torture disemboweled Braveheart style. The definition of heretic is as flexible as it is ambiguous. It could be anybody acting in a way that is merely perceived as going against, undermining, maybe even just questioning the church or state. Any spell-caster, any race that is suspicious or loathed, anybody standing on a soap box, a foreigner, could be somebody who looks funny or strange. The church has a say to outright command over local law enforcement, with the local inquisitor(s) being a very influential position. [/QUOTE]
