[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 1694577, member: 22103"] I've created a monster!! :cool: I checked out your site - very nice. Although I will say that your campaign is almost in a class by itself. I'm not sure I would actually call it a low-magic D&D campaign at all. It's so different that I think it's difficult to compare. You have some great ideas though. Like you said, you have none, zero, nada, spellcasting classes. You aren't really toning down the D&D magic system, you are starting with no magic and adding a very dangerous way to cast individual spells/incantations (the Cthulhu system). I almost consider your campaign to be Cthulhu in a fantasty/swashbuckling setting rather than a low-magic D&D setting. I would like to get into more of a discussion on the mechanics, rules, issues, etc with altering that pesky table on pg. 135 of the DMG (Character Wealth by Level). Let's say you are starting a new campaign with the following concept in mind: I don't want the characters to be completely reliant and defined by the items they carry. While I want magic to exist in the world, I want to make it more rare than a standard setting but I also don't want to completely eliminate certain classes or rewrite the spellcasting system. What are some of the things I can do to acheive this and what will I have to do to compensate for a diminished magic level? [/QUOTE]
