[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8101237, member: 6801845"] I don't run an equivalent of FR. Generally speaking, there are very few high level clerics and they are not always available. My current group is 9th level, I think everybody has 1 uncommon magical item (somebody might have 2), the fighter might have just gotten enough GP to get plate armor. They run out of healing on a regular basis and frequently can't get a long rest, they certainly can't do it whenever they want. That doesn't make it any less D&D. The PCs supernatural abilities are countered by supernatural creatures that are just as powerful or more powerful than they are. I'm not running a horror campaign (I still don't know how that would be sustainable over 100s of hours of play), but I certainly have horror aspects now and then. But anyway, I'm sure this will just be more "I'm right you're wrong". It's kind of like which company makes better cars, Honda or Toyota. The answer is always going to be "it depends". An opinion can't be proven, it's just an opinion. I think horror has everything to do with story and atmosphere, mechanical rules will never have much of a sustainable impact on a player's emotional state. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
