[QUOTE="Mort, post: 5513238, member: 762"] How is this relevant? if there is an NPC druid who is highly regarded by the community and the druid says "Bob the horse saw the PCs kill this man!" the PCs may well be in seriously hot water. Of course. Magic changes the way things work; both in the PCs favor and against them. I personally would find it a bit humorous if the PCs were witnessed doing something bad by a donkey and it came back to bite them in the appropriate organ. But their enemies [b]can[/b]. How seriously this is taken depends on the society in question. Heck, could lead to some very interesting adventure possibilities. Wouldn't it be interesting if the PCs finally confront the main villain and learn that the reason he has been hounding them through the levels is "because my god told me?" Perfect inversion of the usual scenario in my book. But just knowing Dracula is a vampire is valuable information, how valuable depends on the situation but it's certainly better than not knowing. Perhaps not, but it can certainly narrow the field of suspects. I'm really not seeing your point here. While magic may not be an "I Win" button in all or even most situations, it certainly changes the playing field (both for and against the PCs). [/QUOTE]
