[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2945003, member: 22779"] Nice to know things haven't changed that much. :p People still trumpetting from the rooftops about how the game has become all about the magic goodies like this was a sudden shift in gaming. I still laugh about the fact that someone a few pages back talked about his low magic setting where he had a fighter with a +3 sword and how 3e is so high magic. Never mind that by 3e rules, a 7th level fighter can't even AFFORD a +3 sword. But, hey, whatever floats your boat. If you want to believe that a game where each and every encounter is solved by the use of magic is a low magic campaign, then, well, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. Conan is low magic because, while it still occurs in the stories, it does not occur in EVERY story, nor does it occur in EVERY EVENT in the story. A campaign which features core casters is not low magic by any stretch of the definition. It might be low wealth, but, then, well, all you're doing is screwing over the fighters. [/QUOTE]
