If magic is not powerful and mundane people without supernatural abilities can match magic, why have magic in the first place?Why not make the Hulk weaker, so Hawkeye doesn't feel so useless and him being in this big battles making no real sense?In my book, if you want Non-Magical Characters compete at high levels with magical characters, the Nonmagical Characters need on of the following three:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">supernatural Bodymodification (One Piece, Cpt. America, Hulk)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magical Items</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Technology (like renaissance Iron Men or renaissance James Bond gadgets).</li> </ul>What I could get behind as game mechanic, to make if have sense that a fighter and wizard are still adventuring together at high levels is actually time.Like, have high level spells take time to take effect. Time in which the caster needs to be protected. If a fireball needs two rounds to be cast, suddenly it is super important that the wizard gets protected and not interrupted. If the enemy caster is casting fireball, a martial trying to stop him works.With this, you can have high impact magic, that I like for higher levels, but in combat have it more balanced, because of the time frame.Like, if a Wizard can prepare in advance, he should be nearly impossible to beat, but if you can surprise him, he should be easy to take down. So, low magic effects should be like they are now, costing an action, medium magic effects 2 actions and high level effects even longer.That way you can balance the.combqt part pretty well between martials and magic users.</blockquote>
