[QUOTE="adembroski, post: 5392264, member: 18869"] ... Lawhead would be, I guess, as close to interpretive historical as possible without completely eliminating the supernatural. Merlin, for instance, can transfix a room full of warriors with a harp or see hazy images from distant lands and times, but that's about the extent of his magic. His father was a bit more powerful, but it was mostly "God's Will". It seems to be a bit more innate with Merlin. I don't want to limit it [i]that[/i] much, but I do want the post-Roman Britain feel of it rather than the pseudo medieval feel most Arthurian legend uses. Saga was the system the Dragonlance campaign setting used when it was removed from the D&D universe, mid '90s. Didn't go over well with DL fans, but the magic system was intriguing. Since you know Pendragon: I have Pendragon 5.1... I was aware that there was a supplement that outlined magic for a previous edition. Would it be compatible with the newest version? I guess that doesn't matter that much, since I'm going to have to convert it further to Pathfinder, but I was hoping it would be something I could use directly should I ever run a pure Pendragon campaign.
