Message: <blockquote data-quote="kolvar" data-source="post: 3842521" data-attributes="member: 1423">When I prepared some festivities in my campaign, I thought about the great possibilities in a d20 campaign to improve the beauty of a person. Not only does disguise help, but lots of minor and major magic can grant beauty for a short or loner time. Which started me to think about the implication of for on the nobility and the rich in any campaign with at least a medium amount of magic. When I look at the amount of surgery done to improve the looks, and the energy people spend to improve their body, wouldn't it be natural for the upper class in the normal D&D environment, to spend quite a bit of money on their beauty-mage? Wrinkles? with some low level de-wrinkle-spell no problem. small breasts? ugly nose? wrong ear-shape? If you do not go for the big gun (shapechange), some specialised magic (improve nose) should suffice. Thanks to magic and your fitness-cleric, you stay youthful and fit till you drop dead from old age (when everyone wonders, why such a young person dies, till they hear the true age). Therefore, there will not be an ugly member of the upper-class, why should there be? This leads to an even greater gap between the upper (the beautiful) and the lower (the ugly) classes.Somehow the more I think about implications of magic on society, I come to the conclusion, that the rather high level of magic in some campaigns is never thought through.Just my empty pockets (no cents here).</blockquote>
