It's called Morningstar, and it's set during the heroic age of what will become a medieval fantasy world. Great monuments, high magic, empires, etc. I've been lamenting the fact that standard D20 hasn't been giving what I see as the proper feel for the setting- the characters need to be larger than life, and they need to be more important than their equipment. The PCs are supposed to become legends that future generations will strive to match. I just recently got Iron Heroes and I have to say, it seems to fit the bill. Despite statements that it's best for a low-magic setting, I'm finding that it would mesh perfectly with my view of what Morningstar should be.  Almost, anyway. The only aspect that won't be perfect is magic. I'd like to adapt the standard spellcasting classes to IH. Can it be done assuming the same lack of magical swag for these characters? In another thread, SweeneyTodd brought up a  few good points. Among them the idea that standard spellcasters would be too weak at low levels. Would adding in the special abilities of the arcanist class help?  Any other caveats or ideas?</blockquote>
