[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 5388953, member: 51325"] Depends on which edition of D&D you are using as a baseline. If you're using 3.x and 4e, then yeah, there probably needs to be a very good reason why most settings don't more resemble Eberron. If you're using pre 3e, then you CAN get away with the "magic is simply a veneer over your typical European medieval setting". - no easy spell creation, no easy magic item creation, no easy spell acquisition. - It's quite possible for a player NOT to have specific spells even at 1st level since two of the 3 DMG methods for assigning 1st level spells requires DM input. re: Younger players I think there IS a change happening with younger players. Younger players are growing up with NOT Conan, the LotR book trilogy or Fahrd and the Grey Mouser They're growing up with BLEACH, Legolas from the movies - he of shield surfing fame and the idea of "bullet-timers".. What they expect from a warrior I suspect is going to be much different than what the majority of us grew up with in the 70s/80s. [/QUOTE]
