[QUOTE="BookTenTiger, post: 8177569, member: 6685541"] As far as my experience goes, magic items in 5e are way more rare than in 4e or 3rd, where they actually had a price and could be found in markets. And I believe I've read that in early editions of the game adventurers were veritable cornucopias of magic items. All things considered, I voted for 3rd. When the characters come to a village, there's a very good chance someone there can cast 1st level spells, and a very low chance someone can cast 2nd level spells. 3rd Level is only for adventurers and enemies. EDIT: I want to add that my campaign world is very magical, even if not everyone can cast magic. More often than not, the magic occurring in the world is not picked out of a list of spells or magic items, it occurs because the gods, hags, and mages of the world are magical beings who do magic. To me, spells are mostly for PCs and enemies in combat. The magic of NPCs and campaign lore is separate from that. [/QUOTE]
