That's the main reason I don't run my campaign in the Forgotten Realms - it's just too easy for someone with money (read: PC's) to get anything they need. After a few levels getting rich (compared to a commoner), you really have to wonder why anyone would continue to adventure when they can live in safety and comfort, with all the magical conveniences today's big cities have (international trade bringing goods from distant lands, well lit and patrolled streets, indoor and underground plumbing systems, etc).

Ah yes, magic should be an unpredictable and incomprehensible force which can only be understood by a select few and has the habit of failing at inconvenient times.Dogbrain said:Any sufficiently convenient magic is indistinguishable from technology.
