[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8546626, member: 20564"] The poll is worded well, but I'm not sure where the current game I'm running falls. Homebrew setting, centered around a failing Imperium that used to have magi-tech when it was at it's peak, and there are still remnants around. Strong enought hat they created three races, and magiclly genocided another. But magic comes from the earth itself, which is the dead body of a decapitated god (it's skull the moon) and is a limited resource. Magic has been used up to the point that spells above 6th level just won't work, and highly magical creatures are either extinct (like dragons) or only exist near independent sources of magic (like unicorns near portals to the feywild). But low level magic is still everywhere. Naval navigation has been by magical means for so long that they are just discovering celestial navigation now. Magical oaths of loyalty to the Imperium are common for all of the highest ranked military and other important positions. There's been rather few magical items the entire campaign outside potions and scrolls. BUT the hook of the campaign is that each of the characters awoke one of the semi-sentient artifact Masks of the Imperium. There used to be hundreds, now the wearabouts of less than a hundred are known and most can "sleep" dormant for generations between finding a suitable bearer who is compatible. So they have a permanent item that grows with them. (They also were rarified agents of the crown, so can requisition basically any mundane equipment as needed. Treasure has not been a big motivator for this group at all.) So common low level magic but near non-existent high level magic. Very few items but starting with one that grows as the characters do. Casters are not rare, but ones able to cast higher than 2nd level spells are. Spells oif levels 7-9 literally cannot be cast without a separate source of magic, none of which are portable. Where would you put this? [/QUOTE]
