Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6531517">It'd be an interesting set-up for a very politics oriented setting.  You could set one group up as your usual hippe-commune druids who want to use their magic to feed everyone for free because love and nature and unicorns.  You could set another group up as your usual technocratic ultra-capitalists who think magic is a special right reserved for the rich and that casters are rightfully entitled to be well paid for their production.You could throw a twist into this by setting up the capitalist society as to be heavily reliant upon casters, because the society exists in a location where normal farming is very hard (desert, tundra, etc...).  Their entire economy revolves on a sort of trickle-down economics through magical production of foodstuffs.  So druids giving things away is literally destroying their society's ability to financially maintain itsself.  Flip that on the druids and you find out that they're actually giving away this food precisely to do that, then once the people have become dependent on the druids for sustenance they are then basically tricked into servitude fey-food style to the druid's fey overlords who are secretly backing the druids with additional naturey magic in an attempt to undermine the human/dwarven kingdoms of the world and spread their control.</blockquote>
