[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 1406455, member: 9990"] Not sure if you have AU or not, and may not have enough time to pick it up and get comfortable with it before you start, but it has a different outlook on magic. If you don't want to take good ol' 3.5 and sap the available items and item creation out of it, you might want to start there (for the magic only) and scale it back. From what you are saying it sounds like you are afraid of the PCs relying on magic items and not spells to match the CRs for their level. You could limit the item creation feats and tear out magic items altogether, making even a +2 ring seem like an artifact that the PCs need to quest for. Also you could hack out the Evocation spells from those available, eliminating Fireball & Magic Missle to make the arcane guys rely more on trickery or manipulation instead of straightforward kill'em spells. It sounds to me like you don't have much time, and replacing the whole system that most players know rather well might be ill received in such short notice. I would adjust the system then put it out there for comment on playability before everyone shows up. [/QUOTE]
