[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7152024, member: 67338"] The example was mine... The DM is a 'killer' and a 'Gygax' DM who still today runs 2e. The funny thing is I also think he is kinda monty haul... Every game he runs has house rules but for the most part in the 30ish years he's been playing they are consistent... he has an NPC Archmage that is in every game he runs (he even transferred him to WoD both old and new, and SHadow run) who's name is an anagram of his own... way back when we used to talk about him he had a 25 Con, Int, WIs, and CHa and using high level campagins had true dewomers and 15th level spells and a 'ring of the archmage' that tripled his 1st-9th level slots. Every item has a story, and multi abilities. He has a variant on the drow that are albino but have even more crazy spell like abilities then base MM...and 1 PC per campaign can play one first to ask gets it no waiting lists. I was a 7th level human mage with a mantle that gave me 20% Magic resistance, and I could cast Detect Magic, Cantrip, and Magic Missile (all 1st level spells that edition) a number of times per week equal to my Int score (I think it was 15).
