Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marius Delphus" data-source="post: 520036" data-attributes="member: 447">A Few Other SuggestionsUse the "fractional spellcasting" rules published by Sean Reynolds, and halve spell progression: an 11th-level wizard now has the spell load of a 5.5th-level wizard. Add on the "apprentice level" spell progressions from the DMG for the first (.5) level.<a href="http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/fractionalspellcasting_adv.html" target="_blank">http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/fractionalspellcasting_adv.html</a>Outlaw sorcerers altogether, as above (sorcerers don't feel terribly "low magic" to me). Require an "arcane focus" for casting of arcane spells 3rd level or above: the wizard *really needs* that staff, for example, or else he's in serious trouble. Require a divine focus (other than the holy symbol: prayer beads, a sprinkle of holy water, or something) for all divine spells that don't already have one.Watch ELs carefully; standard D&D encounter balancing factors assume the PCs have access to the standard level of magic.Don't permit the spending of XP to create magical items; instead, use the "Power Components" variant rule from the DMG. Of course, no game session should devolve into a mere ingredient hunt, but some ingredient hunts can make interesting game sessions. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
