[QUOTE="Mathew_Freeman, post: 722670, member: 1846"] I'm in agreement with most of the other posters on this thread. In all honesty, I got really [i]bored[/i] with the slow advancement in 2e. "You have saved the kingdom, rescued the princess and killed the evil wizard!" "So, do we level then...?" "Ah, no." "Great. Where's the next kingdom?" :D The 3e quicker advancement is much better, but I think it makes a little more sense if you schedule some downtime for the players every now and again. Treasure, well money is more important to humans than anyone else. What use is a bunch of gold discs to kobolds? Can't make anything out of gold, don't meet anyone that uses it (humans don't often trade with kobolds, right?). So why shouldn't they have gold? Oh, and a word of warning over making the game "low-magic". It actually makes the spellcasters [i]more[/i] powerful, not less. Think about it. In a high magic world, Greater Magic Weapon is more or less useless, since all decent fighters have magic weapons. However, in a low magic world, it's very powerful, since no fighters have magic weapons and it makes a greater difference. The problem of planning characters to aim for certains PrC's is a difficult one. I myself prefer to ask the DM about PrC's, and if he says yes to it then I start to aim towards it. Never take for granted that a PrC exists in any campaign world.
