[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 77982, member: 1008"] Hence my final paragraph: I don't disagree that normally the DM would have to work to balance the discrepancies between organically magical classes and those dependant on items, in a low-magic setting. Making grand reductions in the amount of magic items and saying "I now have a low magic campaign" is just plain silly. There are definite ramifications when making such a decision, that require thought. Personally, I think your beholder example applies to all campaigns. A DM can't blindly assume that because his PCs have standard wealth that they have a standard spread of benefits. Perhaps many of the characters do not have magically inflated Will saves, but big bonuses to hit, AC and Ref saves instead. Hence my main point, that this sort of eyeballing is required from a good DM in any and every good campaign, regardless of power level. I think that's my point stated as clearly as I can. You may or may not agree; either way I'll leave it at that so as not to completely highjack this thread. :) [/QUOTE]
