[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 8079655, member: 6895991"] Yes, but the boxed set is not different on that. Every mook NPC above level 3 (and there are lots) has 1-4 magic items plus consumables. So I really do not get by what definition GH should be low magic. I mean, of course the commoner does not have permanent light for his kip, like it could well be in Eberron. But a noble or rich man very well might have this and some more. Rary (being a level 22 wizard lvl 23 with his ion stone), I think it was him or some other bloke of the circle, wore bracers AC0 , which would directly translate into +10 Bracers of protection, with 5e scaling maybe only +8 or +6 but not less. And this item is not even considered an artifact. The 2e DMG stated for Bracers AC3 that they are well worth a kingdom, on par with mithril chainchirts and rings of wishing. If this is low magic, then point me to similar equipped FR NPCs in that number. From my memory comparing things I remember for mthe GH blue box to FR grey box, GH seemed to win the "which-is -more- magic- campaign"-contest except for the FR mythals. You cannot easiöy take FR 3e for purposes of comparison, because although GH was base campaign for 3.x e FR already took over, and you had that baked in magic item system in 3.x e. You really need to compare blue box vs grey box to get the idea. [/QUOTE]
