Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Zardoz" data-source="post: 3920559" data-attributes="member: 704">The game can hold up very well as a low magic game in terms of loot.  I would not reccomend trying to run D&D as low magic by nerfing wizards and clerics and the like, however.  I tend to be fairly stingy with loot in most cases, and my game is holding up pretty decently, though it is definitely not classic 'low magic'.Obviously, you have to take a closer look at some of the monsters you throw around though.  Damage Reduction 5/magic is a big deal when no one has any magic weapons.The only caveat is that your ability to use published adventures is essentially nil.  Red Hand of Doom tends to be pretty generous with the equipment it hands out to most 3 and 4 HD Hobgoblins.  Your characters can build quite a collection of +1 shortswords from defeating Hobgoblin Bladebearers.For reference, my players have access to +1 versions of most of their gear, a Wand of Magic Missile (1 missile), a Staff with some solid healing magic (adventure loot), a pair of boots of Striding and Springing, a Ring of Feather Falling, a Legacy Weapon (significant to the campaign), and a large selection of cure light and moderate wounds potions, and a few scrolls.  They are presently 7th level, and entering the 2nd part of RHoD.  The majority of the magical weapons and armour have been obtained only recently.  And even if I were to manage to steal or destroy every item the players currently have, it would hardly affect their in game power level.END COMMUNICATION</blockquote>
