Message: <blockquote data-quote="AbdulAlhazred" data-source="post: 5370449" data-attributes="member: 82106">Why are there castles with walls and towers and gates? One has to presume that if this kind of architecture is common then things like Alchemical Fire and spell casters that can fling around highly destructive AoEs and ritual magic like passwall or able to easily fly then none of it makes sense anyway.So basically there are arrow slits because arrows are very common menace. Area effects OTOH are a pretty rare menace. We could try to hypothesize what a castle would look like in a higher magic environment, but the result probably isn't all that thematic for pseudo-medieval settings.</blockquote>
