[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 5614333, member: 52548"] It's my point that came across in the wrong way: my players (and I, for that matters) like to play in a world where the suspension of disbelief is full. And for us there aren't many threats to the SoD like inconsistencies. If the people populating the world around you act like fools, and if the world is full of illogical aspects, well... for us it's hard to immerge ourselves into it. Don't get me wrong here, I have nothing against players and DMs acting like you suggest: it's just we like to play in a different way.:) Now, time for the supposed inconsistencies: IIRC House Orien has magical ships like the elemental galleons that cost 64,000 GP, and air ships that are around 92,000 GP, not to mention magical trains, which generally require a caster level 15. Aren't those magical items expensive? Not to mention that a Permanency spell on Teleportation Circle would be [I]free[/I], XP apart. Well, it looks like they have 15 CL spellcasters (where are they???), so it doesn't appear to be so impossible to imagine a 17th level spellcaster in 1000 years. Talking about spellcasters, Oalian is a 20th Druid. That's what I was inclined to say too, but Five Nations even provide a quote from a Karrnathi soldier suggesting a Knight Phantom division during the Last War (page 43). Anyway, I agree with you: the abundance of PrCs (read: crunch that help WotC sell books) and their original concept don't mesh well with the setting. [/QUOTE]
