Tbh the only low magic settings for D&D that I am aware of are Ravenloft and Birthright, and both of them only to an extend. Eberron, FR, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Planescape are high magic. Darksun is a border case, you could define it low magic, but for me Darksun has much more of S&S than Greyhawk.

greyhawk is not low magic as written. You stated the facts already in your post, but i willl add some. besides artefacts you had a super high level magic cataclysm. You got zones where magic runs differently. The greyhawk city boxed set has many npcs besides the circle being at least mid level...

yes or like that. The resilience feats are very strong

For the leaders: The werecroc leader is some legend (spending most of his time in crocodile form therefore quite "invisible" The catfolk leader is a youngster ruthless, antisocial and cruel with some older bullies around him which are dumber than him but loyal throughout. He plans on taking...

Uh that is tough. Prob is you are a bit to diverse, can't you make it four gangs: Werecrocs smuggling, catfolk dealing, gnoll extortion and wererat beggars Then you got the "Scaly way", "Furry dreamers", "Laughing protectors" and "Silver paw" Edit: You can still have two of the groups work...

HAHA pact of the blockchain, you made my day :P

Not with D&D between editions, sice I always was to informed about that. But me, having only played PnP D&D in my first game of DSA some 25 years ago: DM: (During a river journey on boat) Some straw huts are along the shore. You see some of the local tribe waving their weapons in an...

Temple of elemental evil CRPG came out in the around 200x (still using e3.0 rules) had the possibility of a gay romance. Imho D&D was more open minded than the "Zeitgeist" during most periods. Simply because D&D has mostly users of better than average intellect and education which includes more...

Since some behavior seems at least be more likely depending on genetics (and the social background only completes the picture) that is maybe not to much difference. I mean from an evolutionary viewpoint that makes sense: The most intimidating orcs are the leaders and thos who most likely procreate.

Still the one botched wisdom save could be the cause for a TPK, the 2 points less damage per attack surely are not. I speak from my personal experience playing a hunter ranger with SS. If it were not for the "ignore half and three quarter cover as well as distance penalties" of the SS I often...

Odd, is has got two sets of wings, what is it?

Unless you fail that save to get rid of exhaustion over and over again, or your dominated / held once more because your will save is so low - all despite your 20 in STR. Ability scores are considered so weak because people always assume the only challenge the DM has to offer is to increase the...

It is a good trick to pull out if your PCs rely to much on NPCs like city watch etc. I once had the situation that PCs (being level 3 or so) were confronted with having to bypass a stone golem. Combat was not really an option it was to be resolved by a little puzzle. They called the cityguard...

Giant crocodile, eventually some fish, sharkskin (not scaly that one though). Maybe wood, formed into scales.

I like the idea of @Delazar best so far, I will use it for sacred flame (frost acid spark) cantrip or inflict wounds (inflict fire / frost / acid / electric damage) But it also would make sense with spiritual weapon, just make the weapon deal elemental damage, spirit guardians will become...

I just reread the rules for clerics to resolve another issue then I noticed: At level 20 divine intervention auto-succeeds. Does that mean a level 20 cleric has the powers of a god at his whim? What are the limits of this skill or is it DMs decision what is working and what isn't ?

Really? I did not know that, have you got any sources for that?

Whew. your players are in for a masochistic trip, I guess they could easily end up as radioactive contaminated fishpeople, who get out of the rain, into the other dimension ...

The next campaign I plan, will be Darksun using my own conversion rules. I am normally quite inventive, but here is a bit of a "dilemma" I ran into: I will rule that normal clerical magic, for the four types of elemental clerics (with some exceptions like e.g. create water) , will work up to...

GH in principal is also to many, but that derives from the Suel, Oeridian and Baklunish having different gods for the same portfolio. It is a thing I try to avoid, when I DM greyhawk I pick the ones which are needed and a handful of them available as PC cleric/paladin/ranger deities.
