[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8927739, member: 50895"] Now this was for Pathfinder (PF1), but back when I was developing my Kaidan setting of Japanese Horror (PFRPG), just prior to the release of [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/102482/Way-of-the-Samurai-PFRPG?term=way+of+the+samurai+%28pfrpg']Way of the Samurai (PFRPG)[/URL], I wanted to playtest the various Samurai archetypes and prestige classes included in the supplement, none of which possessed spell like abilities. That meant it would be a 5th level playtest (high enough to gain at least one level in a prestige class, to test those out, or five levels as a flavor of samurai). So I created a 5th level, non magical Pathfinder based one-shot of the Seven Samurai (7 PC samurai) against the bandits scouraging the village who hires the 7 PCs to defend them against the depredations of the bandits. Nothing was adjusted mechanically, except no magic, no spells, no items existed in the entire adventure. It ran perfectly fine and was a fun one-shot and excellent play-test of my character options prior to release... so a straight up game of PF1 with no magic. It was fun! [/QUOTE]
