How often does Antimagic come up in your game?

Henry · Dec 16, 2003

Not enough options; it has come up maybe once in my FR campaign (where the phrase "DMZ" takes on a WHOLE new meaning), and maybe once in a friend's campaign last year. So it's closer to about 3% of my total gaming sessions in a year?

Feel free to add a 10% option if you like, perhaps also a "once" option...

(And whatever else you like, please.)

Okely-Dokely!

Depending on the interest and outcry, you may want to restart the poll and shut this one, but I'll leave it alone for now.

How many folks would change their votes based on the additional choices? Any new folks want to chime in, please?

Anti-magic is a constant in my version of Darksun. Whenever powerful magics and psionics are unleashed against each other something tends to happen. Also, the NEN used and created by the ancient 1/2lings automatically cuts off the collecting of energy for magic. Meaning- you use what is memorized only in a "normal" game world.

The use of anti-magic or anti-psionic zones can be a crutch but I use it to give flavor to the story and to make Players think a bit before rushing into a situation.

I voted 25%, but probably it is about 1/6 of the time. It's a 16th-level party these days, and rogue has a ring with three more charges of anti-magic in it. The party uses it mainly defensively. When we went through oh, Deep Horizons I think it was called, the official WOTC module by Skip WilliamsI believe, there were beholders in there that almost toasted the party (level 13/14 around that time) with their coordinated anti-magic cones and desmodu/troll fighter servants.
