[QUOTE="chachi, post: 2685498, member: 29483"] That being said, I have always preferred a low fantasy setting. That’s what draws me to sword and sorcery. I have always preferred a story of a low level thief trying to scrape by as opposed to some epic level guy with a +13 rapier of god-knows-what. Magic users may or may not be real things, but actually seeing someone cast a fireball would be just as strange and frightening to my character as it would be to me. Certainly anyone who went around doing those types of things regularly would be killed or imprisoned. Magic items may or may not be real things. I like the idea of items being superior and better than average without being magical. I may have a deck of cards that is so lucky that I win more than I lose with them. Then again, that may just be all in my head. I don’t like the idea of a +2 short sword and a +1 amulet. Magical items aren’t that mundane. They can’t be purchased at a dealer. The same for healing potions. There may be artifacts, but only a very few and extremely rare. Think of the Gutenberg Bible. [/QUOTE]
