[QUOTE="Wulf Ratbane, post: 2019471, member: 94"] Tough! "You can't have anything. Everything is off the table until I choose to put it on the table." It doesn't really sound to me like you (or your players) want a low magic game. Let divine casters choose 1 or 2 domains (as normal) and then give them "free" access to the spell on their domain list [i]only[/i]. But here is the choice you are really offering them: "Do you want to play a low magic game or not?" If they want a low magic game, then they absolutely should not sit down to play with any expectation that, "I'm gonna be a wizard!" So-- the set up is this: 1) Arcane casters, get nothing. You're a 1st level character. You believe that magic exists, you've heard tales of it, but you know nothing. Should you be so fortunate as to uncover some hidden text with this arcane knowledge, you may be able to study it. 2) Divine casters, who start as acolytes in the church at 1st level, also have no knowledge of spells. But you can tell them, in advance, that the church has "secret mysteries" that they may be taught, upon making it to 3rd level and choosing to be fully indoctrinated into the church (ie, taking the Magical Adept: divine Talent). At that point they'll get two spells, one from each domain, and each time they gain a caster level, they'll add the next spell on the domain list. Beyond that, again, there may be other spells out there to learn, but the PC is on his own for that. 3) Wild adepts... heh heh. There may be demons and devils willing to trade knowledge of spells for certain favors and agreements. Who knows? Wulf [/QUOTE]
