But I guess what you're saying, and forgive me if I misunderstand, is that at higher levels non-spellcasting classes need magic items in order to hold their own against spellcasters.I disagree.You can quite simply disallow item creation feats, restrict the spell lists and your uncle = Bob. You've got all the classes, all the races and a low-magic campaign.Now, if you're saying you want all the spells, all the feats, all the magic items, all the classes, all the races... AND a low-magic campaign -- well, alright then, now you're hosed. But you're also confusing me.D&D is not a low-magic game by default. If you want to play low-magic, you simply have to make changes to the rules. I don't see how this translates into a lack of flexibility.On the contrary, I find 3E massively flexible, just like 1E was. I can do all sorts of wacky things to it and it remains playable and fun.Is it really "die-hard" roleplaying to come up with personalities that overpower gear? I don't think I even understand what you're saying, here. Sorry.I find 3E extremely flexible and forgiving a system and having tons of fun running a low-magic game with it.</blockquote>
