In fact, you do not get this concept in fantasy until the 1970's.If you wanted true european late middle-ages fantasy, then Wizards and sorcerers could work charms and evil eyes, and could tell the future, Dragons would be about as big as draft horses but no bigger, and the only thing that could lay waste to a city is a plague or a curse. Keep in mind, it was also a late-middle ages fantasy that the armored and mounted knight was the most powerful war machine on the battlefield. English Longbowmen proved that one wrong, and guns and cannon were right around the corner to quell that fantasy for good.I certainly don't begrudge you your campaign preferences (every person has a right to play in their style), but I just want you to be aware that many of your conceptions of European fantasy are rooted in D&D, rather than actual European period fantasy. The two are a FAR cry from one another.</blockquote>
