[QUOTE="kamosa, post: 1423325, member: 1037"] You put this forward a lot in your posts. The idea that low magic creates more options. I guess I don't see that as valid. To me, most of the 'more options" people talk about when they say this are available to the players in both high and low magic. If the GM can only force different tactics and ideas by taking away powers, then that is a GM problem, not a system problem. I've played standard magic in all my games, and my players know going in that just kicking down the door and lobbing fireballs is about the dumbest thing they can do. They know they must find contacts in the city, use ivestigative powers and in general must be creative both in combat and out. They use skills, creative fast talks, good plans (or sometimes bad plans). Saying you can't force creative playing because the players use the same tactics is a cop out, no matter which post your responding too. [/QUOTE]
