[QUOTE="Imagicka, post: 1734951, member: 4621"] [b]World Altering Spells - Low Level[/b] Greetings... Without a second thought... [i]Curse Disease[/i]. Why? Well, first of all, there wouldn't be an lepers to frolick with. The first sign of any life threatening disease, the clerics/druids would be right in there frolicking away. You don't need a potientally deadly disease spreading around the community. Now, in a medieval fantasy D&D world, of course you don't have anti-biotics, antisepsis, and knowledge of germs like we have today. Hell! They have something better! [i]Cure Disease[/i]. Infection, Gangreen, Dysentery (the bloody flux), Ergotism (St. Anthony's fire, holy fire, devil's fire), Gonorrhea, Influenza, Leprosy, Malaria, Measles, Puerperal Fever, Chicken Pox, Small Pox, Typhoid Fever, Cholera, and Plague (Black Death) all eliminated with one simple little spell, which effectively foolproof and 100% effective. Do the commoners of our D&D world think that diseases are punishment from the gods? Would they have all these fear-based superstitions based around disease? Probably not. Not when they are pious people (and how could you not be pious when there is physical evidence of the existance of gods is staring you in the face almost every single day?) who can just go frolicking down to the local clergy and hopefully get a quick cure before dinnertime. Also, the economic reasonings for D&D I think are seriously flawed, along with what constitutes for 'commoner' and 'average level of commoners'. But more on that later after I've read the rest of these posts and written a ridiculously huge reply... [/QUOTE]
