[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 9344506, member: 6915329"] Since only three of the core twelve classes are nonmagical (and the thirteenth, non-core class is magical), and those three classes have magical archetypes D&D by default is fairly high-magic. I've already given you several possibilities for Ravenloft. I don't know enough about Dragonlance to know or care, but I'm sure Dragonlance aficionados could give you an answer. The Realms is high magic. [I]You [/I]are discussing that. I am not. The vast majority of the time, planar travel is not something that needs to be taken into consideration--and then it can be taken on a case-by-case basis. It doesn't need to be written into the rules, because if every "what if" scenario were written into the rules, the PHB would be a thousand pages long. Except you're not, because you're going with a strict RAW reading rather than by RAI. What makes sense is that the PC can get in touch with their contact most of the time. Sometimes they can't, because they're on another plane or otherwise have no means of communication. Those times when they [I]do [/I]have a means of communication, whether through messengers, magic, or something else, they can get in touch with the contact. [I]That [/I]makes sense. [I]That [/I]is RAI. You are choosing to ignore that because you refuse to use anything but the most pedantic of readings--just like any of those other Stupid RAW Readings I listed. [/QUOTE]
