[QUOTE="Corran, post: 265056, member: 85"] One more reply. ;-) Yup, there could always be quests that can't be finished. But first they should look for alternative options. Usually there are other options. For one, in most places the local authorities, will want to keep a monopoly of sorts on magic weapons (adventurers carrying them is one thing, but people buying them off the streets is usually a no no). Just like most countries don't allow their citizens to buy guns (there are always countries that aren't so enlightened, that's true. ;-) Not at all, I never assumed anything about you in particular. I don't know anything about how you DM, nor would I make any assumptions about that. Reread what I wrote, it wasn't a comment about you. That hasn't happened. Of the five characters there is only one wizard nor are the other players all gagging to play a wizard. Nor is the wizard more powerful than the others. The paladin for instance is capable of doing over 100 points of damage in a round, something the wizard isn't even close to doing. That's a strange theory. Your first sentence disproves the second. If the characters can fight creatures that are comparable in strength to them, than it would follow that the only thing that changes when the characters aren't equipt with loads of items is the 'powerlevel' of the creatures they can fight. So they can't fight creature X, but they can fight creature Y, no problem then, they still have enemies to fight. Now if not having magic items would make fighting [I]any[/I] creature impossible you would be right. The added benefit is that low level creatures are still useful without giving them levels / extra hit die. Well, a good wizard won't let the fighter get near him. ;-) So in your campaign the fighters only need to get next to the wizard and do a full round attack to kill him? Somehow I don't think so. (But then I don't know anything about your campaign.) Nah, just mail me if you want to continue this into perpetuity. ;-) [/QUOTE]
