DM wants to play Ravenloft with very low magic, 22 point characters, almost no gear, and all the character flaws enforced by Ravenloft 3.5, but the players prefer heroic character (or, in some cases, don't like characters that cannot win if their life depends on it)? They either can demand authority over the GM, telling him that they don't like that sort of game, or they can leave the group. If the latter happens, the DM is alone. Won't help him, either.I say. I have almost as many D&D 3 PHB's as all other people I play with have together. I think not. Not just because of magic (which is, by definition, not realistic), but also because this will make things very complicated, and D&D is supposed to have a very simple core mechanic: roll d20, add modifiers, beat target number. If you start rolling for hit zones, and "realistic" expansion of fireballs and whatever, combat rounds will last even longer than they do now.</blockquote>
