[QUOTE="grimslade, post: 5807702, member: 6061"] I think there should be room to make magic dark and mysterious, but it is not the default for D&D. Sanity rules, corruption points, wild magic have all been in the RPG realm for a while but D&D never supported it. How dark and mysterious is magic with cantrips like Spice, Light and the catch all spell of doom Unseen Servant. The warlock is dark and mysterious with the whole pact aspect, but is relatively new to D&D. Clerical magic also limits how dark and mysterious it can be. The parish priest might not be able to heal the mauled villager but his buddy from the Crusades in plate with the mace sure can. Wicked demonic possession or god granted life saving miracle? Bob the priest says "Jobs a good 'un!" and the villagers put their pitchforks away for harvest. Oh and the non-spell casters are scarier than the nice spell casters. Fighters and rogues are serial killers who mostly hunt around other neighborhoods. Hi Mr. Slathered in Gore, nice collection of ears you have there. Rough week at the dungeon? [/QUOTE]
