[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 5522478, member: 29112"] Nope. The "15 minute adventuring day" never happened, IME, for starters - yes, despite it being oh so popular an arpatubes mantra. So, limited spells were (and are still) [I]actually limited[/I]. That's one thing. Next, with some systems (e.g., 3e) I actually did rearrange various things, including the rate of spell accumulation, Fighter abilities, etc. But this is because I prefer [full] casters to be up against it, which further contributes to my general preference for "low magic", to some degree. I like even my "high magic" settings to have some "low magic" qualities, if that makes any sense! :D And, perhaps most importantly, tactics have never been restricted to spellcasters, in games I've played/run. Not even favouring them. In fact, the casting of spells has often inflicted somewhat of a restriction in "battlefield" tactics, ironically enough. :p This, due to casting time, needing to stay put to cast properly, being by default more vulnerable, and so on.
