Message: <blockquote data-quote="dglass" data-source="post: 740922" data-attributes="member: 5484">I was wondering where magic items fit into all this?  Is it too soon for them to develop?  Today at work I was thinking about how a small group using hit-and-fade tactics could do a lot of damage if they all had at least one level of wizard or sorcerer.  A mass of archers is scary but a mass of people with magic missile wands is downright sick.  These people all wear the same slate grey uniforms with no insignia or rank.  Soldiers are grouped togather so that they are all pretty much the same height and have identical haircuts.  Unless some kind of power component could be found to reduce the XP cost there will never be a way to supply an army with magic items.  But every single soldier carries what looks like a wand.  Its just the officers have ones that work.  Everyone else has to make due with scrolls.  They would stick to rough terrain which would be home ground.  The point is to make anyone who invades thier territory think:a) that there are more of them then there actually areb) that they can rain down magical death all day long without running out of spells like other castersc) they can appear and disappear without warning ((if they have invented Invisibility this may in fact be true))I had envisioned someplace in the mountains possibly near a volcano.  The geologic activity creates planes of broken rock, boulders, and ravines.  The home base would probably a hidden valley.</blockquote>
