[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5684300, member: 6669384"] Depends on your game world. Not everyone runs such high-magic campaigns. We generally don't. Our specific campaign is set in a time not long after a protracted series of wars that tore apart the old empire, and we are (among other things) trying to help the empire salvage the pieces. But most high level casters got caught up in those wars, drafted by one side or the other, or in some cases assassinated to prevent them from joining an opposing side. The few left are the ones who went into hiding. So, in short, there aren't a lot of high level types around who can craft higher powered items. Similarly, anything resembling a stockpile of magical items or gear got "diverted" to military purposes. Some ended up in various lootings, some got lost or destroyed, some are now held by the enemy. So, while high end spells exist in the game world, and items can be made, they aren't just sitting around waiting for someone to wander into Wizmart and pick them off a shelf. And everybody knew this when we started. [/QUOTE]
