I don't mind if a BBEG wizard has a phasor that's indistinguishable from a magic staff. It's a lot different if a low level army carries them into battle.IMNSHO, sufficiently advanced technology is serviceable. You can refuel a spaceship, or repair a computer. Sufficiently advanced magic isn't. Your Tensor's disk gets disrupted and it's gone forever. Snap a wand and it turns into a stick. From this perspective, I consider D&D to be at a very low level of tech.In play, this means the players may find a laser gun. But they better keep an eye on the ammo level. And make sure it doesn't get wet, or hit with a lightning spell. Because when it's gone, it's gone.</blockquote>
