[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 915996, member: 2804"] This very true. To run an epic high magic game and have it be logical and consistent you would have to have built your world from the beginning with high magic in mind. You can't just slap high magic on a standard medieval world. Anyway, one reason I embrace high magic so much is because I have spent years playing low-magic. Years fighting kobolds and struggling for that +1 sword. And I got sick of it. It was boring and repetitive. Few magic items and spells and whenever we broke tenth level the DM was ready to start a new campaign. I will never again play a first level character. I have played at that level so many times and so often it drove me crazy. I was about ready to swear off D&D until 3rd edition came out and then the epic level handbook. I started DMing high level because no one else in my group would. I also had the chance to play in SHARK's campaign and his world is very epic and very high magic. It was amazing. So many different possibilities and battles that while most of you would snort at, were intense and exciting. My characters using all sorts of spells and magic items that I had read about in the books but never got a chance to use. Some of you feel sorry for me for missing out on good low-magic gaming, but I've been there and done that. I just wish you guys could play high magic the way I have and maybe some of you would realize how much fun it is! :) [/QUOTE]
