[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 1985314, member: 53"] That's pretty much what Eberron does, combined with focusing most NPCs on NPC classes. Low level magic is very common. High level magic is very rare to almost non-existant. Look at Raise Dead in the campaign world. Most priests aren't spellcasters, they're experts or commoners. Those that are spellcasters are usually adepts, which means they'd need to be 15th level to cast Raise Dead. You aren't very likely to find very many 15th level adepts. Of the remaining actual clerics, most are lower level and are usually out "in the field" where they aren't available. What's left? Well, the head of the Church of the Silver Flame is listed as an 18th level cleric (while in the sanctum). How are you going to get to her? Through a large amount of bureaucracy. "This is an emergency? Please fill out this form to move to the emergency list. We'll let you know whether you are approved in a few weeks." [/QUOTE]
