First off, this is not a listing, yet. I would like everyone's input first, particularly from those of you who run Low-Magic or Low-Fantasy games. Even if you do not run or play in a Low-magic/Low-Fantasy game i still would likeyour opinions as to what published, or unpublished PrCs...

I know several posters' gut reactions will be "why not just do away with spell casting altogether?". My answer is simple. I am too lazy to be able to come up with enough abilities to even the Ranger and Paladin out with other classes. They still might not be balanced, but that is...

I am trying to develop variant or alternate classes for most if not allof the classes presented int he PHB. In the course if the development I have thinking about how to do Clerics. The way I see Clerics in the campaign is as channels for their particular faith's power. Clerics...

I have never been much interested in most fantasy books but I am a fan of Robert E Howard. Tolkien's Middle Earth was what i would consider Low Magic as magic had very little infleuence on most of the storyline. What other books in the Low-Magic or Low Fantasy or Dark...

The Garrote has had a long history in the works of adventure writers, whether as the weapon of choice for the insidious Thuggee cult (from whose name we get the term "thug") and their knotted strangle cords, or mafia hit-men who strike from the shadows with little more than piano wire...

This class is loosely based upon the Mentats from the DUNE-iverse, the mechanations of Metternich, the skullduggery of a Secret Agent, and the disarming charm of a honey-voiced Diplomat. It is roughly based upon the Bard as presented by the PHB. here goes: Emissary “The City-States...

I am trying to develop some low-magic classes for my campaign setting and thought I would share one fo the classes with the community and get some feed back. Wizened stooped men, bent over bubbling beakers or poring over musty tomes, skinny bookish young men risking life and limb to get a...

I have been working on a Low-magic Low-fantasy setting for a few weeks now and several people on the boards have suggested various ideas and books (Darklore PDF, Midnight, Conan, Legends of Excalibur PDF). I thank them all. For more on the setting I am using...

I ama sucker for low magic campaigns. I like keeping magic mysterious and hard to cast Withthis in mind I am trying to develop weakned versions of each spell casting class but I have no idea how to balance them (to be honest I do not not much care for balancing low-magic Wizards and...

I am trying to develop a Low-magic system for a Low fantasy type game. I figured I should first see what already exists and I can steal as I am sure my plans are not balanced at all. First of all, I would like to retain all of the classes, or atleast have similar representatives...

"Dark cities of grey stone and iron dot the wilderness in a time of uncertainty and widespread fear. Ruled by ruthless lords and shadowy councils, and guided by a slowly dying religion the citizens of these cities live a claustrophobic existance. Despite the terrible living...

I moved to Seattle from Oklahoma a few months ago and I am in severe game withdrawal. I am familiar with D20 rules (D&D to M&M to Modern and beyond), Dennis Detwiler's Godlike, COC (D20 and Fifth edition Chaosium rules) original Deadlands, original Werewolf and a few others. I am...

Hi guys, this is my first post at ENworld in nearly a year (I even had to re-register). In any case, I might be DMing a game soon and I will be sticking with my favorite sort of setting, Low-magic. There will be no Wizards, no Sorcerors, and no Druids. All other classes who...
