[QUOTE="simonski, post: 76726, member: 3215"] Ok, seems alot of you out there are playing D&D with loads of magic, magick items and whatmore. Im not looking down on either of you. And its up to each DM to run his game as he sees fit. Either way, personally I dont like flashy magic, it reminds me of Boris Valejo and his 80s paintings with bimbo-barbarians with bikini chainmail hurling firebolts all around. I have been able to run D&D without flashy magic for a LONG time, even 2:ed D&D and I players can get what magic spells they want, but most of them have taste and dont go for the "inflatable castle" spells and the like. Regarding magic item, I still think they should be rare, heal spells should as well and YES a party with loads of magic items has a better chance against a monster than a party without. But is D&D about winning? And against whom, the DM? If they have magic items and equipment, dont throw overly powerful monsters at them. :) And yes, I am one of those DMs that think level 1-9 is the most fun levels to roleplay on. And above all the most theatrical levels as high level characters tend to be more cliché than low level ones. [/QUOTE]
