[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6897116, member: 63"] I mean, you could change things, but the intention of WotBS was to go all the way and use pretty much every tool in the box. The bad guys definitely use things like Gates and greater planar binding to power some of their schemes, and from adventure 9 onward we assume the PCs are capable of leading the charge into a horde of soldiers and taking on a mundane hundred foes apiece. It would be more realistic and down-to-earth to reduce some of that, which would change the tone a bit from nigh-mythical to merely grandiose. In the final module we assume the PCs have an ally who can teleport them around a battlefield so they can respond to a half dozen threats in one day. Adventure 10 and 11 are fairly dependent on having reliable flight magic. And there's at least one noteworthy Prismatic Sphere that you'd need to tweak if you want the PCs to be able to bypass it readily. I mean, go for it.
