[QUOTE="Roudi, post: 2724524, member: 12423"] F/X is, like every other rule in the game, subject above all things to Gamemaster's Discretion. No rule is so set in stone that a GM cannot do away with it, replace it, or modify it to make it work. No setting is so married to one specific ruleset that a GM cannot use it without also incorporating those rules. To say a game has "too much F/X" is to deny Gamemasters the ability to shape their own games, settings, rules systems, etc. Sure, WotC incorporates a lot of magic in their d20 Modern material. That's what WotC likes to do, and I'm sure there are folks who are glad WotC includes that material. If it doesn't fly for your game, then you're not commiting a sin (or even a terrible inconvenience) by not using that material. I'm sorry, but it just seems pointless to discuss whether or not WotC emphasizes magic too much or not in their books. Its the Gamemaster who determines what actually shows up in a game, not WotC.
