That's one of Eberron's big traits, after all: low-level magic is common, meaning that spellcasters with low-level magic can be "common folk," who have no powers that a typical NPC might not also have.This facilitates that "everyman" archetype, even if the world is filled with wands of magic missile made by artificers. I think that's mostly because you're equating "fantastic" with "magical," but I think they are quite distinct. You can have "mundane" and "magical" co-exist.And the job of the mechanics *should* be to help create a believable setting, since a believable setting is part and parcel of any D&D game. If the mechanics don't help me do that, the mechanics don't help me make a D&D game.</blockquote>
