[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8470566, member: 6790260"] This has come up plenty in various threads and forums I've participated in. Obviously not scientific, but it's the best we can do. Keep in mind, unlike most polls on this forum, [B]you CANNOT change your vote after voting[/B], nor can you view the results until you have voted. By "spells/etc." I am referring to all of: actual spellcasting, magic items that cast spells (such as scrolls or wands), and magic items created through the use of spells (e.g. 3.5e/PF's crafting system, where explicit spellcasting is needed in order to craft most "magic" items). I am NOT referring to similar but distinct systems (such as psionics, Truenaming, spiritualism, etc.) that are not formally [I]spells[/I] or the aforementioned items that produce or are produced by spellcasting. Edit: Since more than one person has asked, if your answer would depend on whether the question is asked with regard to some specific system, or asked generically, please choose whichever of those two answers is most natural for you.
