But it is possible to select monsters that will work just fine as-is in a low-magic world.Essentially, the problem only comes up when you're trying to mix low-magic PCs with high-magic opponents...Wulf, Considering that we may still want to include the occasional very rare high-magic creature even in a low-magic campaign, how would you deal with that? For example, how would you deal with slaying a dragon, a staple of medieval low-magic fantasy? Would you tune down the dragon's magical abilities, or would you use the dragon as-is from the MM and assume the party will get slaughtered if they try a frontal assault? (Note that the latter is essentially equivalent to saying that that dragon is a higher CR in your low-magic world.)</blockquote>
