[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 3255108, member: 27957"] If you really want to go ahead with that, let me echo the people suggesting you look at Iron Heroes or Black Company or one of the varient systems that supports it. Heck, there are games out there besides D&D to try. But in D&D 3.5 the warrior types really need their magical gear to keep up with the casters. Without items a Wizard's spell does just as many d6 damage, a Cleric's buffs are just as strong, and the poor Fighter and Rogue hit less often for less damage while taking more hits themselves. (Note that how strongly this shows depends on party level, group playstyle, and PC builds. I played a campaign from 1st to 19th level where the DM decided to reign in the treasure we got. The disparity first started to show around 9th level. By 15th level the party stratagy was that the Druid nuked, my battle Cleric hulked up and smashed things, and the rest of the party tried not to die. The effect on a group can be mitigated by low levels and/or casters devoted to party buffs.) [/QUOTE]
