[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 72803, member: 386"] I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've come up with a few points: - armies, full of low-level warriors and fighters, wouldn't exist. It is too easy for a few high-level fighters and area-effect spells to wipe them out in one, quick stroke. What is a army of 1,000 1st to 3rd level Warriors going to do against a Hasted, Improved Invisible, Flying Wizard who casts Fireballs into thier midst? Instead, you would have small groups of highly-trained professionals fighting a war of assassins. - castles would not exist. The large castle that juts out from the ground is an easy target for damage spells - and if it is enchanted, Dispel Magic. - dungeons would become the preferred fortress. Sprawling compexes built with the help of magic (or magical creatures) would be much easier to defend than a standard castle. In these dungeons, there would be areas where intensive training would be conducted. Turning those with above-average potential (that is, high attributes) into hardened warriors, devout priests, scholared wizards, or sly rogues. With the help of magic, it is possible that the dungeon complex could feed itself, becoming totally self-sufficient. - commoners would be totally valueless. Menial tasks could be done by constructs specially created for the job at hand. Most craftsmen would also be wizards, using magic to assist thier craft. Commoners would live a hellish existence above ground. The best of thier number would be taken to the dungeons to be trained in some art, be it magical or martial. This type of campaign world seems very intersting. I just wish that somebody would take it and run with it. [/QUOTE]
