[QUOTE="Walknot, post: 4598087, member: 73405"] Sorry MR if I oversimplify the above, because the analysis is certainly thorough and seems very fine. But if I could extract a kernal; it seems that magic effects grant +1 every 5 levels. That is +1 to attack, damage, AC, and defenses. Now compare with the "mundane" level progression effects. Things such as +1 to chosen stats, and the usual +1/2 per level and so on. Now to similarly oversimplify that, it would seem that mundane effects grant +1 every 2 levels. Again, +1 to attack, damage, AC, and defenses. So in other words: magic = +1 / 5 levels mundane =+1 / 2 levels Now, if you drop out the magic, then you will reduce your advancement rate by 30%. That means, one option is to insert an additional 30% encounters, and spend an additional 30% play time, and your published campaign will work OK. Also note that instead of being at level 10 for a certain area of the dungeon, you will be at level 13. For example (30%) . That also means (alternately) you may keep the standard number of encounters and so forth, but grant an extra 30% XP to accelerate the level progression similarly. After all, your PC's are battling those monsters with 30% of their arms (the magical 30%) tied behind their backs. And again, you'll be Lvl13 (mundane Lvl13 only) for a Lvl10 encounter that was intended for a magical setting. [/QUOTE]
