Flying invisible wizards? No thanks. Stones buzzing around everybody's head? Whee. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> Planar travel? Yuck.Or, to use another movie example, it's like the difference between Raiders of the Lost Ark and, say, X-Men. They both have magic (even if X-Men calls it "mutation," it's still magic), but in Raiders, magic is mysterious and dangerous, and the world is one that, assuming you lived in 1936, you could step out your door and actually be in. In X-Men, everybody's who's actually important not only has magic, but lacking magic automatically changes your status from "hero" to "hostage."I can enjoy X-Men ... but my heart belongs to Raiders!   -The GneechPS: The idea that 3.5e will have anything at all to do with "low magic" just makes me giggle furiously. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Because a few broken spells were toned down a bit, does not a low magic game make. Remove all primary spellcasting classes but "adept," strip rangers, paladins, etc. of their spells, and throw out all magic items with a market value above 2,000 gp, and THEN you'll be looking at a low magic game.</blockquote>
